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.

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.

Labour Councillor's harsh words for Bin Tax Non Payers

dublin | bin tax / household tax / water tax | news report

Report this post to the editors

Cllr. Joanna Tuffy gives support to non collection

Labour Councillor Joanna Tuffy siad that she doesn't support the 'breaking of the law' by citizens and that breaking the law 'has its consequences'

In a discussion with an anti-bin tax campaigner Labour's Cllr. Tuffy siad that she did not advocate non payment of any tax. She said she opposes bin charges, but says that the vote of the Council was a 'democratic decision that has to be abided by in a democratic state'. Cllr. Tuffy confirmed that she pays the bin charges herself.

However surprisingly Cllr. Tuffy also added that she would not support residents that do not get their bins collected due to their non payment of bin charges. The Labout Party Councillor said that she doesn't "support or advocate breaking the law" and that "breaking the law has its consequences."

It is well known that Labour do not support non payment of bin charges, however it now seems that they will not support residents that may have their rubbish not collected in the coming weeks.
