The BBC's Director of Comedy wants to "save the sitcom". But the sitcom is only endangered because most of them stopped being funny. As To the Manor Born reminds us, British comedy has lost its class, says Finlay McLaren.

Thank Lockdowns for the Worst Budget in History Sat Nov 22, 2025 13:00 | Will Jones
We're a week away from the most painful Budget in history thanks largely to the eye-watering cost of lockdown. Yet Baroness Hallett says next time the Government must be ready to go harder and faster. This is insanity.

Taxpayers Are Charged for the BBC Whether They Like it or Not Sat Nov 22, 2025 11:00 | Charlotte Gill
It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

SA are not 'Trotskyists' nor 'Trots', nor 'Trotsyite'.... and what a GOD-DAMN stupid argument to be having..... the point of this thread is advertise Seamus Brennan's visit to UCD, to call for a protest against Brennan, it is NOT about Anarchism Vrs Socialism (or whatever labels you call yourselves)
This is really a waste of time.... Im' off to actually do something worthwhile for my politics...
i was correcting astrids first reply where she used the term "trot".Sorry if it somehow offended someone. it is also ignorant and patronizing of "Trotskyist and proud" to assume that i dont know what the term means. Being a socialist i have read the works of Trotsky along with Stalin, Lenin, Marx, Engels Bakunin, Blanqui, Blanc, Proudhon, Kropotokin, Connolly, Gramsci and Bukharin amongst others, so please don't question my knowledge.....
thanks pat,
i have absolutely no objection to protesting Haider, what i was commenting about was the calls to STOP him speaking. I agree wholeheartedly that he is a fascist, but I am concerned by the undemocratic and reactionary activities in which some (not all I know) people seem willing to engage.
Gaz, I dont know where you get this thing of calling people 'trots'. Is it from the british tabloid media of the 70s and 80s? you dont even know what the term means so please show some respect and describe members of SWP, SP, SA, etc as Trotskyists
gaill
hes a holocaust denier & a fan of hitlers "labour policies", he wants to achieve an all white austria. you dont think he is a fascist i do.
hes not just a harmless eccentric. he has given "respectable" cover to open racism & nazis use his party as a focal point. thats why i was at tcd last night.
as for the anonymous fool, no one knows what you are involved in. the fact that you keep repeating the same inane & irrelevant themes time after time doesnt say much for your intelligence or sanity.
The word is Trotskyist not 'Trot' or 'Trotsyite' it is highly insulting to use the incorrect term.
Antrophes not a trot
Haider and the FPO are not fascist they are right wing populists. They have freedom of speech. Why should we go out to Trinners at the drop of a hat just for another right wing European mayor.
The fact is that Brennan and his crew are partly responsible for the war in Iraq and he will be introducing fees this summer.
Pat C, what would you know. You've no experience in colleges, you are not active in your own Trade Union- yet you lecture everyone about what to do.
"Haider needs to be halted"...from doing what exactly? As far as i understand he is going to speak. And you want to stop him speaking because you dont agree with his politics? You have appointed yourselves to obstruct someones right to free speech, and deny others the right to hear his fascist bile and decide for themselves who the real enemy is.
How very interesting?
astrid please reply, I am fascinated to hear why people should not be allowed hear this man.
Kevin Barry died for what? So that the Fianna Fail Govt. can actively participate with US/K imperialiasm in the conquest of Iraq.
Astrid- what you on about- typical trots? No idea do you!
Brennan can be confronted another day. Haider needs to halted tonight.
The man has blood on his hands -- don't let him ever forget it.
Typical of the Trots to come up nwith a diversion when a Nazi is in town.
Get to TCD, 7 pm.
