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.

Public Assemblies, Parades And Protests In Northern Ireland

Tradition and/or human rights

On April 20th 2010 the Office of the First and Deputy First Minister of the Northern Assembly released the consultation paper drawn up by the Assembly Working Party on Parading Issues.

Do you think 'traditional rights' or 'cultural expressions' of sectarian domination that have been established through violence and corruption should be equated with basic human rights? Now is the time to share your views.

PUBLIC ASSEMBLIES, PARADES AND PROTESTS IN NORTHERN IRELAND
On April 20th 2010 the Office of the First and Deputy First Minister of the Northern Assembly released the consultation paper drawn up by the Assembly Working Party on Parading Issues.
The contents of the Northern Ireland Assembly Consultation Paper on Parades and Protests - and how to submit your response - can be had via this link: http://www.nidirect.gov.uk/public-assemblies-parades-an...2.pdf

The consultation paper proposes the establishment of two bodies. One will be concerned with mediation and encouraging dialogue between the ‘Loyal Orders’ and objectors or protestors. It is to be called the Office of Public Assembly, Parades and Protests (OPAPP).
The actual adjudication body will be called the Public Assemblies, Parades and Protests Body (PAPPB) and will be charged with making decisions on parades and protests.
The Office of First and Deputy First Minister will issue a code of conduct on parading in about three weeks time. That code will be made legally binding; that is, it will become a criminal offence for anyone to engage in disruption, harassment or abuse of people parading or protesting.
Anyone wishing to make a submission will find a copy of the Garvaghy and Ormeau Road joint submission and a history and analysis of Orange parades and protests on my blog at: http://orangecitadel.blogspot.com/

Serious observations and suggestions can also be posted to me via that blog. This is a Human Rights issue – not an opportunity for party-political point-scoring.

Everything we do is based on somebody's domination somewhere in the past. Do we have to go back to our Celtic invading ancestors or what?

I am a southerner and so my view is of less-than-0 importance to unionists or republicans. They both march, and someone somewhere is always going to feel upset and/or intimidated. Couldn't the government just buy a big farm somewhere in the middle of nowhere, turn it into a "parade park", put in roads, and they can all take it in turns to march up and down in front of their "side" to their hearts' content?

Most of the unionists didn't do any dominating, they are in a cultural rut. Tourism does well here in July from nationalists coming south to get away from it all, which gives them a chance to inspect our cultural ruts down here.
