#BBCR3 #EssentialClassics “… the mountains of North London”, Ian Skelly? Is that where you think Scotland is?

So we will have a eulogy from Webb on the so called 'jouranlist' Liddle. But when it comes to real journalists murdered by Israel absolute silence. #R4Today

Amol Rajan might struggle when he goes solo. #BBC #R4Today might be willing to overlook his inappropriate false laughter and abrupt, dismissive endings to conversations, but anyone looking to award a contract to a genuine, honest and sincere person probably won’t.

Does #BBC #R4Today have any input on #TFTD? That miserable git Rhidian Brook talking about jokes and satire somehow feels like the pinnacle of satire.

#R4Today 0730 Sport: “… a win for Southern Braves … nice to see Indian players in the game” Shouldn’t that be “Indigenous American players”?

Have you ever noticed how when #r4today does the "business news" it is almost always & entirely from the perspective of business owners & the c-suite. It is almost never from the pov of employees or trade unions. That drives a false narrative about who is responsible for the UKs economic growth.

Child: “It’s not normal for boys to think about raping girls” #BBC: “Over to respected journalist and #R4Today hero #RodLiddle for the facts”

#R4Today Amol Rajan asks what could explain rising #cancer rates … while backing #FossilFuel use, ignoring proliferation of #microplastics ending up in the food chain, along with unnecessary nitrites in, for example, the bacon his right-wing heroes consider a mark of #Britishness, … #Complicity

Weird how the #UK government can’t own a factory, or manufacture anything, but can allow a hostile foreign power to own factories in UK and to make #weapons they then sell to us. So many advantages of making our own #military kit, not buying it from an enemy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQke...

Locals are SHOCKED that Israel owns historic factory

#R4PM #BBCNews With Reform leader and deputy currently facing inquiries, and one of them not even an MP, any guesses why Lowe has chosen now to make overtures about a merger? Don’t alleged threats to kill make it an unlikely Union?

Not so long ago “Send in the #Army” would have been the mantra. I can only wonder if the switch to the #SeniorService is a nod to the age of most Reform voters.

Reform's "plan" to use "Navy ships" to "turn small boats back" in the Channel contravenes the law of the sea and human rights conventions, and "escorting small boats to European ports" requires agreements with those ports and their national authorities. And better quality small boats. #R4today

Police don’t follow up bicycle thefts either Mr Philp Think it might have something to do with lack of resources, but then I’m not a former Tory HO minister for Crime & Policing? #R4today

“I tend to avoid official positions”, says Michael Rosen, former official Children’s Laureate, on #R4Today In the battle to reduce #ScreenTime, he must have lost lots of potential income by refusing to licence his writing for children to appear on e-readers.

#R4Today “To tell British people about changes to British childhoods, we have ignored all the British academics with real-life experience, and instead found a North American, who did not grow up here and is raising her own child elsewhere”

Honest to god I think that the only way that #r4today editors and presenters will grasp the true danger of the climate emergency will be if if a celebrity writes a musical about it.

#ZiaYusuf says the #RoyalNavy has precedent for #RoyalMarines using boats to turn back irregular migrants during #TheTroubles in #NorthernIreland Anyone else remember that? Clearly Amol Rajan remembers it well. #R4Today #Complicity #Lies

Monday sweepstake: How many complaints (legal letters?) will #BBC #R4Today receive after Amol Rajan referred to the “almost satirically-named ‘Memorandum of Understanding’”? #ThatIdiotTrump #Incompetence #Complicity #WarCriminal #StraitOfHormuz #Iran #USA #Israel

#R4Today #Tory voters will be happy when a speeding ticket leads to a full investigation and arrest for a #DNA match to a discarded cigarette butt found beside the M180 in 1996 … and the nine-year wait for trial … overjoyed to know it was their party that demanded it. #ChrisPhilp #PublicInterest

#R4Today Chris Saliva Philp “saw spray kicking up from the water” when a French ship fired into the #EnglishChannel, and found it very intimidating. This must be a different incident to the one filmed by a camera crew, when Philp barely noticed the sound, and certainly wasn’t intimidated. #Liar

#R4Today Reform, currently spitting feathers over #Iran exercising de facto control over the #StraitOfHormuz, and the possibility #Spain might exercise de facto control in the Strait of #Gibraltar, will order the #RoyalNavy to do exactly the same in #LaManche (the #EnglishChannel for Reform voters)

#R4Today “The public expect police to investigate every suspect fully” - Chris Salivate #Philp. Anyone stopping for ten seconds on zigzag lines outside a school will be delighted to be fingerprinted, searched, and checked against every database. Huge overreach from the party of ‘small government’

Could be worse; they could have elected a rapist. Oh, wait …

This is what happens when the government is run by a felon reality TV personality, Fox News hosts and right-wing podcasters.

Why do they all have alliterative names: Max Miller, Jim Jordan, That Twat Trump …?

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 5d ago

“Should Max Miller resign?” Jim Jordan: “He’s a good man. I’m helping him get re-elected.” Kasie: “He’s accused of throwing boiling water on his ex, held a gun to her head, fractured their daughter’s collarbone…”🤔 Jordan: *stammers helplessly as she plays his Platner comments*

Heartbreaking. All that hard work he put in as a volunteer, turning up to the rec on Sunday mornings, coaching the under-12s, all for no financial gain. Now he tries to give some money away to poor nations, no strings, and they turn on him. Is there a GoFundMe?

It's looking like Gianni Infantino could get the boot from FIFA and be the first ever FIFA President to be fired. Too corrupt for FIFA, is something he will never live down.

“Gavin Barwell, Lord Barwell” If the correct title matters, why deliberately use the wrong one, Amol Rajan? #Complicity #R4Today

Data centres are not essential. I fully get that AI has a role in for example reviewing medical samples. But when a lot of people use AI to create images it is the equivalent to asking Einstein to add 2+2 because we can't be bothered. #R4Today

#R4Today #BBCNews What a shocking disparity in reporting on illegal immigration into Spain and Palestine. #Complicity #Hypocrisy #WarCrimes #Genocide

#R4Today “Swetta”? It’s ‘Ceuta’, Amol Rajan. Soweto is the other end of the continent.

#R4Today “In today’s lighthearted final fun item, we discover the whimsical pastime of gannet slaughtering”
