The Times is getting as bad as the completely deranged Telegraph.

How is the BBC remotely OK with such a biased take from a presenter on their supposedly flagship news show?

waywardwaverer.bsky.social•37 days ago

It's stuffed with Tories who presumably share his views.

We don't know who Trump will turn out to be but his sidekick is doing Nazi salutes and, my God, you have to be pretty sure of your privilege to be complacent.

graduatedsapphic.bsky.social•37 days ago

do...do we really not know who Trump is by now? I think it's painfully clear at this point.

cjnmcg.bsky.social•37 days ago

I saw a clip of Margaret Atwood talking about "night of the long knives" in relation to Trump.

Sadly, only time will tell which way things will go.

Could this be a coincidence or something else?

He’s hardly going to be a big improvement on last time is he?

Oh, what's the worst that can happen?
But it often does.

Destabilising a society is a very dangerous thing to do. Forces are being unleashed right now that are impossible to predict.

sarahviktoria.bsky.social•37 days ago

Destroying sectors of society with a stroke of a pen in a spectacle held in a sports hall is a bit of a clue.

feenp.bsky.social•37 days ago

I think Trump has told us who he is and we should believe him.

charlottemoroney.bsky.social•37 days ago

I literally hate that guy (webb) and his sneery, posh, enabling faux journalism.

unicornsrockuk.bsky.social•37 days ago

It's a very worrying time for many.

danchambers.bsky.social•37 days ago

I thought Webb was smart. One of the good guys. My word he's let himself down with this piece of grovelling nonsense. Somehow, Webb has found himself so far up Trump's anus, he can probably see Farage's feet.

chrisarundel.bsky.social•36 days ago

Since when has it been normal to threaten friendly allies and pardon 1600 criminals who helped try to overturn a democratic election?

This is for fallacious comparisons. I encourage everyone to look for and learn about various fallacies. Even in one's own discussions.

These are not fallacious comparisons. These are historical rhymes.

emperorblargus.bsky.social•34 days ago

To tag @buddhaferret.bsky.social they aren't low for anyone, rich or not, in Europe inclusive of the UK... the last week has convinced me we're headed for war now.

maviczap.bsky.social•37 days ago

I used to think that Justin Webb was one of the more sensible ones. Oh dear

sarahviktoria.bsky.social•37 days ago

Good grief! This sounds like a typical fascist style inversion. Democrats are extremists, authoritarians are returning us to a golden age of normality.

chrisarundel.bsky.social•36 days ago

“His style is to keep them guessing”
… about which country he’ll threaten to invade next?

freddy1138.bsky.social•37 days ago

The orange dipshit wants to annexe Canada and "ban" transgender people ffs. How is that not extreme?

sarahviktoria.bsky.social•37 days ago

That's back to "common sense" and "normality" for the likes of Webb.

sarahviktoria.bsky.social•37 days ago

The stakes are high for everyone. Anyone thinking they can ride this tiger is an idiot.

They need to go away and watch Jeremy Isaac's The World At War.

It's almost as if the signs of fascism are so frightening that people would prefer to ignore them.

I’m trying hard to imagine a more ridiculous assessment of what’s happening in the USA than that and, well, I can’t. Does he really get paid to write that?

maggieannxx.bsky.social•36 days ago

I saw some info regarding Trump’s convictions - now I can’t find them. Since I am in a FB disagreement about this by someone saying he’s innocent (!) can you help me out here?

philipjtaylor.bsky.social•37 days ago

My father was born on 30th March 1933 they day he did. He's 92 next week.

#America under #FelonTrump supposed to be part of our allies
They don't seem to have the same values and ideas like us regarding democracy, humanity, human rights and regulations, diplomacy..
Can we still be regarding them as "our allies "??

timwillis.bsky.social•37 days ago

Blimey, Justin should surely know better, but then…

julietteonthemoon.bsky.social•36 days ago

Really? You clearly don’t know about how he lost his temper with someone who was trying to defend trans people while he was hosting the Today programme.

leewilliamdesigns.bsky.social•37 days ago

It scares me how much Trump being in power again has emboldened the worst pieces of shit in society to be openly hateful. Any LGBTQ related article with a comment section is riddled with ‘Trump will end this’ or ‘I wish a Trump was in the U.K.’
they just want to eradicate us in any way they can.

sobekhotep97.bsky.social•37 days ago

I’ve noticed that as well. Trump has validated the worst impulses of the worst people. Extremism is now considered “mainstream”.

daryltu.bsky.social•37 days ago

The world is increasingly resembling 1930's Germany, but with social media as the new propaganda........

timwillis.bsky.social•37 days ago

And this time is what so many don’t get.
I feel sleepwalking into a nightmare…

sloanefragment.bsky.social•37 days ago

that’s obviously gaslighting. im so tired of our media class.

as for fox news’ doocy he’s soent the last 4 yrs asking the dumbest questions at every wh press briefing.

What we learn from history is that we don’t learn from history.

aladdinnoons.bsky.social•37 days ago

I’m glad he’s taken to writing. It’s years since my ear- brain connection has ever been able to translate his broadcasted mumbles.
Him and Nick have “pressure of talk”. Shame it’s not listen.

Bring back Martha and Mishal

The boys are really ego-shitric

The Golden Shower story seems to have dampened down

kaceydee.bsky.social•37 days ago

Anybody who felt Webb was ‘a good one’ before this has completely ignored his blatant and toxic transphobia. Trans people are the current ‘canary in the coal mine’.
Cis people…STOP IGNORING TRANSPHOBIA.
