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.

Is the era of cheap internet surveys over? A new paper demonstrates that AIs can now be "trivially programmed" to answer online surveys in ways that are essentially indistinguishable from humans.

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.

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.

The rise of neo nazis in ulster

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Tuesday May 20, 2003 15:19author by Andre Report this post to the editors

Taking a closer look at brit neo nazi groups organising over here in the north of ireland, behind them, we find people like englishman and ex RIR soldier Mark Pilling who latched himself onto the UDA(like a parasite on a host) to try and peddle his intolerant puerile nazi filth about race hate against ulsters ethnic minorities and republicans.

These english neo nazi bastards the offspring of brit security force personnel, who weren't even born in Northern ireland, but who came over here on service or with their brit servicemen families, have the cheek to preach to us about immigrants. At least most of ulster's mixed race population were born here in northern ireland, unlike these english interlopers. Johnny come lately english beuarocrats who permeate the civil service through to the prison service have the cheek to discriminate against the catholic and mixed race indigenous population of ulster. Indigenous Mixed race bawnmore man Charles conlon suffered horrendous verbal and physical abuse at the hands of johnny come lately englishmen ex squaddie prison officers in Maghaberry. Countless other indigenous mixed race irish people are discriminated against at the hands of these backward johnny come lately neo nazi english beuarocrats who hold court in the DHSS through to the NHS, and the education system. It's sickening to see the discrimination against ulsters indigenous mixed race population, to see women and children who were born and bred here, moved to the back of the housing/education/health queue due to the ignorance of johnny come lately english snobs who would infect and corrupt the tolerance of irish people with their vile prejudices.

It was most enlightening to see my name attached, yet again, to neo-Nazi propaganda!

When I was first arrested by the PSNI, the Sunday World, a paper with all the reporting credentials of a local parish newsletter, ran a hate campaign against me for weeks. I was accused of being a member of Combat 18 and a convicted sex offender. As they say, never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

I phoned the Sunday World and asked for a right to reply, which any quality paper would grant . However, they denied me that basic right, and even went on to infer that because I like Star Trek I must be some sort of headcase.

Firstly, let's address the Nazi issue. I am Jewish. How the hell can a Jew join Combat 18? Why would a Jew join Combat 18? Combat 18's very existence is based on hatred of all things Jewish. However, that didn't deter the Sunday World from continually repeating their claim. As Hitler once said. Tell a big enough lie enough time, it becomes the truth.

With regards to the sex offender claims. The only convictions I have to my name are the ones I racked up in connection to my UDA activities - no other!

Why did I join the UDA? It wasn't to peddle my Nazi filth as the author of the story claims. I was sucked into Loyalism over a number of years. This was because of the way I was treated by my so-called Catholic friends [remember I lived on a mixed estate], who when any sort of a crisis came up I became the Englishman. Whenever politics was discussed I was always told that I didn't know what I was talking about because I wasn't born in NI. What a heap of crap! What they really meant was that they could pontificate about how awful the British Empire was but I couldn't point out any failings that I saw in NI society.

Basically, I was shat on from a very great hight. I had been doing voluntary cross-community and cross-border work for years - and for what? I honestly believed that I wasted my entire time doing that kind of work. NI is the most closed off society that I know and, eventually, EVERYONE has to take one side or the other. At the end of the day, Catholics and Protestants just do not get on with each other. Except in the Assembly when they are awarding themselves huge pay rises!

Now I'm living back in England and I am oh so glad. I can go where I want. I can drink where I want. I can wear an England top without fear of getting beaten up.

In summary, I don't mind being condemned for my UDA activities. I was a big boy when I joined them and I accept the consequences. I did wrong and I deserved to be punished.

All I ask is that I am treated with the same respect that you would have me treat you and at least tell the truth about me. There has been enough mudslinging.

I'd like to read an article on this, but in a style which doesn't come across as a sort of 'right on' version of the Sun. Hmm.

For anyone whose suffered discrimination or been treated less favourably because of their disability, colour, race, religion, politics or social class contact the Equality Commision. You have 8 months from the time you realise you've been discriminated against to lodge your complaint. Recent high profile cases include an Irish lecturer who took a case of discrimination against Queens University, after QUB favoured a less qualified english lecturer in a job vacancy. Another case was that of Fermanagh school girl who was thrown out of convent after becoming pregnant, again the education authorities had no right to discriminate against her and deny her of educational opportunities because she was pregnant.
