British TV Comedy Has Lost its Class Sat Nov 22, 2025 17:00 | Finlay McLaren
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.

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.

This type od logic was used against IAWM. They were called Anti American because they opposed the actions of the US Government.
Many people in this country rely on tourism to make a living. The majority of tourists to Ireland are British, and their cash is well welcome. This sort of stunt puts working peoples jobs at risk, things are bad enough this year after Bush and Blairs Imperialist adventure in Iraq, without Ogra Sinn Fein carrying out pointless sectarian and anglophobic actions like this. Ireland of the welcomes? Not if the sectarian bigots in Ogra Sinn Fein have their way. I hope you all felt very brave.
I want to see more DA by all poli parties - well done to ogra SF.
perhaps on any further da's you could post in advance minimum details to try get a cross section of left da supporters.
I don't think anyone should be encouraging Sinn Fein / IRA to engage in "direct action"!
The occupation of the British Tourist Authority office is not real direct action, but just a stupid stunt by Ogra Sinn Féin who think that they are real hard. It will achieve nothing. The British Tourist Authority are hardly instrumental to the democractic process in the North.
Meaningful direct action, means taking action directly that will help bring about change rather than simply appealing to others to make that change for you.
For example rather than simply calling on politicians to create more space in the city, a Reclaim the Streets actually creates that space even if only temporarily. Or rahter than calling on the government to boot the U.S. out of Shannon, direct action at Shannon, by pulling down the fence or tresspassing, actually threatens the use of Shannon as a warport.
If Ogra Sinn Féin want to take direct action for democracy why don't they start by taking action within their own organisation - Sinn Féin - which lacks any real democracy. Sinn Féin is a highly authoritarian party where all the members take their orders from Gerry Adams as we saw when he went to meet warmonger Bush, in defiance of the member's wishes.
That's a great phrase coming from Sinn Fein/IRA. (Oh, I forgot they're different organisations !! :) ) I don't remember the IRA using much in the way of due process before maiming, murdering or blowing people up...
By members of an established political party!
well done!
