There’s intense competition for the title of worst newspaper article of today but I bet this late entrant is a strong contender. I’m too grumpy to read it to check beyond the intro.

Trans people (expect they get a mention) seem to live rent free inside Webb’s head. Also is it compatible with his BBC obligations?

BBC comes down like a ton of bricks on any of its presenters uttering a progressive opinion but this guy seems to have licence to regurgitate American far right talking points whenever he feels like it.

His obvious transphobia is a huge issue and the BBC just won't do anything about it.

I remember him doing a Radio 4 hit in the then Saturday lunchtime slot about US politics, when he was US editor 'we will never see a black president elected in my lifetime' 15 months later they elected Obama and that should have been the end of him. Sadly, it wasn't

Webb is a disgrace. Lineker out because he is a decent person, but we have to hear Webb every week with his pro-Trump attitudes.

It took more than twenty years of hardcore right wing propaganda and stacks of broligarch and Christofascist billionaire dollars to manufacture the mood he's referring to.

Tired old Justin Webb, eking out a career by picking a fight and finding a hill to die on. It’s a lazy solution to journalism but he has been institutionalised throughout his career and has a strong conviction that he is a whole lot better than he actually is.

I remember the day he joined the Today programme. He was shallow, irritating and tedious . It helped to wean me off the programme and then abandon it after a lifetime of listening.

‘Woke’ is when all your arguments have been thwarted by sensible, caring, understanding, empathetic solutions and you realise it’s easier to ignore, belittle and attack!

Can't trust anything that comes out of BBC News/Politics any more. Gave up on the #r4today show months back. Even news bulletins on the BBC are untrustworthy regurgitations of far right propaganda.

You could probably summarize without reading that it's a screed by bored entitled weak white men who say waaa waaa waa about progressives and minorities in academia since everything is theirs, like the 60 year old man version of complaining about women playing video games or ruining horror movies.

Jesus, what a wanker. There is a certain form of cluelessness pervasive in this demographic (mine) that can't rank mild irritation over occasional campus silliness with a descent into fascism. Just yesterday I tossed an acquaintance of 35 years over this very issue. He told me Musk has a point
