What?

Justin Webb and the crew of #Americast giggle and fawn about the 'energy' of Trump while turning a blind eye to the racism, corruption and mendacity of the president and his whole morally corrupt Cabinet. Not so much a news show but rather a cheap charade.

Trump is a racist misogynist

Would Justin Webb characterise Trump's disgusting racist rant about US citizens of Somali origin as having 'great energy'? www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfe... #Americast #r4today

Justin Webb said Trump is 'energetic' during the last episode of #Americast ( at 22 minutes). The evidence suggests otherwise edition.cnn.com/2025/12/02/p... Apparently for Mr Webb his own opinion doesn't need to be in accordance with the facts or evidence.

At the very time Justin Webb was lauding Trump for his energy (at 22 minutes) the current president was repeatedly seen falling asleep during a televised Cabinet meeting www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... #Americast Any vague chance of an actual journalist at the BBC pointing this out to Mr Webb?

When we talk about the need for a Hillsborough Law and for a change in the culture of the police, you only have to look at this tone-deaf, brazen and offensive response to the IOPC Hillsborough report from the South Yorkshire Police Federation

What a ridiculous and self abusive country the US has become, Part 106 #r4today

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

The Hillsborough Disaster happened before the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 but enquiries about it are still being released. If the state, media and courts had worked properly and delivered prompt analysis and judgement then it would by now be a footnote in history. #r4today No #JFT97

Councils using unregistered homes to care for young children which can charge £30,000 a week bit.ly/4pDAksi another social infrastructure scandal due to past underinvestment now exploited by profiteers

Emma Barnett and Justin Webb know that no matter how bad they are at their jobs-No matter how poor they are at covering the news they will keep their massive salaries as long as they continue to lecture us from the 'Robbie Gibb book of journalism'. How far has #r4today fallen-All very sad isn't it?

Could the hierarchy at the BBC explain to me that if I was to listen to #r4today would I be hearing the voice of the corporation or that of the Murdoch Mob and its columnists Justin Webb and Emma Barnett?

"Is he right, Charlie?" asks Emma Barnett of the Chief Inspector of Prisons referring to the Lord Chancellor, who spent some time yesterday explaining, yet again, to #r4today, that the prison system was in a state of collapse. Emma obviously didn't listen yesterday.

If you want to know why prisons are in a perpetual state of crisis, these 4 charts explain it all. #Austerity was devastating to all forms of government. #r4today

If I was to listen to #r4today am I getting the news from the BBC or from Murdoch's columnists Justin Webb and Emma Barnett? Where do their loyalties lie-With journalistic integrity or with the consideration of not biting the hand that feeds them?

At 22 minutes Justin Webb waxes lyrical about the 'energy' of Trump in comparison to Joe Biden www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... This was just about the time that Trump was repeatedly seen falling asleep during a meeting of his Cabinet. #Americast #r4today

The show today is presented by Murdoch columnists Justin Webb and Emma Barnett. How much are they paid by the Murdoch Mob? Are they paid extra for promoting Murdoch papers in the press reviews? Dennis Potter was right all those years ago www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRV8... #r4today

Of course #r4today ignores yesterday's report about the Hillsborough Disaster in the headlines-We can't risk the nice extra earnings of The Times columnists Justin Webb and Emma Barnett being affected by them mentioning such an awkward story for the Murdoch empire. No journalism on this show!

Hillsborough should be a footnote in history-Something that happened in the same year that the Berlin Wall came down but instead, due to those who think they and their friends should always be above justice, it is a living shameful event that haunts some of us still. No #JFT97

The U.S. has conducted 19 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing at least 76 people. Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner. This is a danger to us all.

The same right-wing paper that colluded with the police and MPs over 36 years ago in their successful bid to thwart justice being done regarding the Hillsborough Disaster will be lovingly quoted over and over again on #r4today without a thought about the damage it did and continues to do. No #JFT97

The UK is bad at so many things but the one that the state is excellent at is making sure that those in power never suffer for their actions-With an 'honourable' mention to those at the BBC who campaigned so hard to give work to Kelvin MacKenzie after the Hillsborough Disaster. No #JFT97

Hillsborough, the Post office, Grenfell all to the same template.

Some did very well out of the Hillsborough Disaster-Kelvin MacKenzie's friends at the BBC saw that he got lots of work there. Norman Bettison got a knighthood. Nobody in charge went to prison for their appalling lies and behaviour. Others did not have that 'privilege' www.nytimes.com/athletic/323...

(📢) BREAKING NEWS: After Publishing Historic Racist Screed Against Minnesotan Somali-Americans, Trump Orders His Personal Army to Invade Minnesota and Ruthlessly Terrorize As Many Nonwhites As Possible

If over 90 people had died at Ascot the police wouldn't have lied about who was responsible, the press would have been sympathetic and the victims would have been honoured. Instead in 1989 the police, much of the press and the government turned on the living and the dead of Hillsborough. #JFT97

Kelvin MacKenzie did very well out of the Hillsborough Disaster-He kept his job at The S*n and then when he left there his mates at the BBC got him lots of comfy slots. Others were not so lucky www.nytimes.com/athletic/323... There was and is no justice for the 97 or any of the other victims.

After the 'revelation' that the police worked to blame the fans for the disaster I expect another report that the sun will rise in the east tomorrow. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c2... #JFT97

The Hillsborough Disaster was a textbook example of the way the UK state behaves after such an event. Protect those in positions of power, leak stories to the media to protect the same and then delay, delay, delay for decades. It all worked 'very well' didn't it? No justice for the 97 at all.

The truth about the Hillsborough Disaster was obvious only a day or two after it happened. That many in the police, the government and shamefully in 'The Great British Press' conspired successfully to make sure that justice was never served was and is a disgrace to all involved. #bbcpm #JFT97

Will BBC news be asking Kelvin MacKenzie for his 'expert opinion' regarding this? www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c2... #bbcpm #Newsnight #r4today Will his friends at the BBC seek to validate the Hillsborough Liar just one more time?

A report on the Hillsborough Disaster response now is like in 1989 somebody releasing yet another inquiry into the behaviour of UK authorities about how they dealt with the 1953 floods. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c2... Too late, pointless and effectively patronising towards all of us. #JFT97

In 2053 (36 years after the Grenfell Fire) I suppose they will be releasing an inquiry into the 'missed opportunies' to prosecute those responsible. The UK state effectively exists to protect those in power and to make those without suffer www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c2... There is no #JFT97

If the press, the police and the government had behaved properly in 1989 the Hillsborough Disaster would now be history. That they are still releasing investigations into what went on over 36 years ago is shameful www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c2... #JFT97

Much of what is covered here was clear in the weeks following the disaster www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c2... I personally find it deeply insulting but entirely in character for the UK state to take over 36.5 years to state the obvious. #JFT97

Senator Kelly eviscerating Trump. 🔥 👏👏👏

The BBC’s coverage of Conservative allegations of dishonesty against Rachel Reeves shows how its political coverage is still led by the right-wing press, argues @adambienkov.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2025/12/01/r...

So true. Add in Post Office scandal. Despicable.

Nick Robinson can be a half-decent presenter when he wants to be but when that comes up against what he perceives to be any threat to his £410,000+ BBC salary or the lifestyle he and his friends enjoy his attitude reverts to 'Daily Mail Outraged' style! #r4today

If you are in any position of power and want to know whatever you do wrong you will never be held to account then the UK is the place for you. Any inquiries will take decades and after they are completed there is no chance of you ever facing justice. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #r4today #JFT97

Does Justin Webb think that ordering war crimes to be committed is part of Trump 'making America normal again'? www.ms.now/rachel-maddo... #Americast #r4today

When a disaster happens in this country after dealing with the initial problems the first thought of the state and the powers that be isn't to hold those responsible to account but instead to protect them. It's baked into the system. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #JFT97 #Grenfell #Aberfan #Ibrox

It is what the UK does-Long drawn out inquiries but never with any justice at the end because that serves the interests of those who might be found culpable www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... I imagine that will be true of Grenfell and in 2053 (36 years after the fire) they will be in the same boat.

A U.S. senator is justifying war crimes: the military acting as judge, jury, and executioner for non-capital offenses. A reminder that there is evidence innocent passengers were onboard these vessels.

The Gibb machine in overdrive mode.

Trump just gave a commutation to David Gentile, a private equity executive who defrauded investors of $1.6B. Meanwhile, Trump's regime has also scrapped enforcement actions against over 160 corporations accused of misconduct. A new Golden Age for corporate criminals.

It is shameful that the BBC are aping the Tory press in arguing that the optics of the budget are more important than the substance. #bbcpm
