offsite link 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.

offsite link 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.

offsite link 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.

Anti-war soap dodgers are proven to be liars

category international | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Sunday August 31, 2003 15:14author by rooster Report this post to the editors

"After 12 unsuccessful years of UN supervision and disarmament, military force regretfully appears to be the only way of finally and conclusively disarming Iraq."

Well, well, well. Guess who the above comments come from !

George Bush ? Tony Blair ? Erm....no. Try Dr David Kelly. You know, the weapons inspector who supposedly topped himself ( according to left wing conspiracists ) because he could not stand the government's pro-war spin.

Yet....in a suprise new development.....it now turns out that Kelly not only thought there were still WMD in Iraq......but he also favoured regime change to remove that threat !

http://politics.guardian.co.uk/kelly/story/0,13747,1032886,00.html

We have had months, on this site, of the anti-war people spreading lies and conspiracies about the whole issue. Indeed....many anti-war people have sought to use the whole Kelly affair to create a martyr for their cause.....portraying Kelly as an anti-war victim of some dastardly plot.

Yet it now turns out that Kelly was pro regime change in Iraq.......and actually no friend of the anti-war people at all ! Don't you just love it when such twists come about, and all the wackos at rense.com ( and their friends here ) end up with egg on their faces.

I don't see the anti-war people here eager to quote from their favourite newspaper The Guardian today !

I leave the final words to Dr Kelly :

'The long-term threat, however, remains Iraq's development to military maturity of weapons of mass destruction - something that only regime change will avert"
