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.

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.

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.

Seriously, its a civil matter. The owner has to seek an eviction order. The gardai are duty bound to prevent illegal evictions. Especially if cameras are there.
One of the residents has being attacked by the would by eviction sheriffs, who hit him on the head with a crowbar.
There are gardai entering the building as I type.
Can the media representatives reading this go down and report on this illegal use of force?
Just got a text that at least one person has been arrested - get down there now!!!

no person without court order may evict the Autonomous Centre.
Anyone attempting to do so is guilty of a criminal offence.
keep cool.
& close the door.
& I just sent an effin' postcard. 35cents down the drain?
I've just being talking to people on the phone. As I understand it the squat has been evicted and probably illegally. One person was taken to hospital injured by a crow bar. A person by the name of John Birmingham and two heavies attempted to get in. It appears that people called the cops fearing for their own safety. I've also heard that two people were arrested outside for obstructing the guards
Conor
Note the John Birmingham guy claims to be the owner
Conor
any idea of the name of his company???
the locals w/ press cards and cameras.
I've trolled 30 minutes tracing ownership/planning permission.
=no luck.
Whoever is in there is - in there illegally too.
I shall now troll John Birmigham.
description/details will help-.
photos / statement of evicted good too.
Let all of us invovled in these contemporary issues of our society write / publish something.
& gratuitous link to cheer people up.
30% of Dublin's babies come from Parnell Sq.
80% of squats get evicted.
40% of those illegally.
99% of those that get re-opened go
happy happy.
check link might find out some information on the owners of the site
Just skipped out of work to try and get down in time. I arrived ar mo rothar to find the sorry scene that just now has reminded me of those images of famine Ireland evictions (history all over again?). The ten or so new owners of the building had being ILLEGALLY evicted by the defenders of the capitalist status quo and were standing, rather disappointed and a little shaken after the threatening and heavy handed manner in which this crime was was carried out.
One IMC journalist questioned an architect who arrived a few minutes later. Gardai tried to avoid the gaze of his digital camera.
At a regrouping it was decided (15 minutes ago) that a small delagation of 4/5 would go to Store st. station to make complaints against the gardai's behaviour and the act of eviction itself, where there were no grounds (when asked many times, gardai said they would not give out the act under which they were evicting) and to press criminal charges of assault and battery against John Birmingham and his hired thug(s).
The activists from Autonomous Community Space are in good spirits at this point and know that this is only the beginning of creating a Dublin Autonomous zone and community centre.
