“Why hit pensioners, not the wealthiest, in your first big policy announcement?” Why not both? He can start by defunding one of the wealthiest pensioners in the country & his parasitic family. You can’t have an honest convo abt welfare & intergenerational inequality while ignoring the BRF. #r4today

A #R4Today guestvearlier suggested the two extremes of motivation for dialling 999 are to report a concern and to lure police into a trap. Which did he think was more likely in the case of a masked gang that ran off when they saw a woman on a tractor, wearing a smock and herding sheep?

Andy Burnham is SO lucky! Imagine having a #R4Today presenter to explain what Burnham’s dad would have wanted! Many of us have only years of living with someone, long conversations through good times and bad, intimate knowledge of our fathers’ beliefs and behaviours. I wish I had a Robinson.

#R4Today “By 2030, #pensions will be at a record level” - Andy Burnham, Israeli asset. Since pensions rise every year, surely ‘record levels’ are an annual occurrence? If you mean “… relative to average incomes”, the #TripleLock has guaranteed that for many years too.

If #AI can only do what it is programmed to do, some developers and programmers clearly need to be arrested and charged with crimes If AI can do bad things without being programmed to do so, it needs to be treated as a weapon of mass destruction, and subject to #InternationalLaw #R4Today

“Rise in #antisemitic incidents in universities”, #R4Today, or “… in ALLEGED antisemitic incidents”? Were they attacks on #Jewish people, or attacks on those supporting #Israel? #Russia kills ONE in #Ukraine. No deaths in #Palestine, then? Your bias is sickening. File that under #antisemitism

The #Telegraph keep asking me to subscribe. They also keep pulling shit like this: Headline: Iran linked to #RAF bomb plot Story: Police are investigating whether Iran was behind the bomb plot … and hopefully whether #Russia, #China, #NorthKorea, #Israel, #Reform, #Trump or the #Brownies were?
Email from 
“The Telegraph Editor”. Under the seemingly unambiguous headline (quote): “Iran link to RAF bomb plot” (end quote), the text goes on to say, in a rather more nuanced way (quote): “Counter-terrorism police are investigating whether Iran was behind a suspected bomb plot targeting a Royal Air Force base used by the US military. RAF Fairford, a key US air force outpost in Europe, has been used by American aircraft to carry out defensive strikes on Iran. Will Bolton, our Crime Correspondent, reports.”

What is the definition of #Terrorism, #R4Today? Is it an attack on a civilian population, or an attack where the targets appear to be #USAAF and #MOD staff? An attack on military personnel is an ‘attack’, not a ‘terrorist attack’ Or are young people joining #UK Armed Forces “trainee terrorists”?

Camilla Cavendish making the case for deadbeat dads who, like Justin Webb, want to have children but do absolutely nothing for them, as men are involuntarily childless - #R4Today Seems Ms Cavendish shares Webb’s view, that parenting should never be allowed to get in the way of parental lifestyles.

Did Lisa Nandy forget to say that #R4Today is saving money by cutting down on presenters? Has anyone checked whether the current crop negotiated higher pay for flying solo on Saturday mornings? I doubt Justin Webb would tell us, at least not voluntarily.

Isn’t it fraud when you lie about what people are paid, with intent to help your business perform better? Why isn’t this now a police investigation and possible criminal prosecution? Football’s ruling bodies, domestic and international, have already shown themselves supine and incompetent.

Kudos to #JustinWebb for outing himself as a strictly hands-off parent on #R4Today Presumably he will admit, when reporting on juvenile delinquency in the future, that he fully supports absent fathers and good-for-nothing dads.

#R4PM “I think Mark Rowley was right to say what he did. #CriminalJustice is in crisis, and was only hanging on until 14 years of Tory cuts could avoid blame” A former judge pointed out that it is police responsibility to notify the court of the risks. How is Mark Rowley still in a job?
