DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 16/04/2025@shelaghfogarty.bsky.social Claiming that this judgement doesn't erode transpeople's rights is nonsense. As the caller said, they're now likely to get thrown out of changing rooms and toilets. So, where are they meant to go? 010

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 27/03/2025@mrjamesob.bsky.social I'm pretty sure the lack of attention on the female victim in Adolescence was intentional, mirroring what happens in the media. 000

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 14/03/2025@mrjamesob.bsky.social I'm a dissenting voice for abolishing NHS England. Why? Because it makes the NHS more of a political football. If anything, we should be moving the NHS out of politics. It needs a 20-year plan that cannot be sidelined by an election result. 010
DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 10/03/2025What a dull day of programming on LBC today. Have had to switch off to prevent me from falling asleep. Online harms may be an important topic, but it's a boring subject for phone-in shows. 000
DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 05/03/2025Just watched Captain America: Brave New World. It's just OK. It works as a movie, but the timing sucks. Captain America is an analogy for America as a whole, and the Trump administration would likely mothball him for being a waste of federal resources. 010

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 18/02/2025Why have they made Don Gilet's detective in #deathinparadise so dislikeable? I know they all have different personality traits, but the previous ones have all been endearing. This character is just a rude arsehole. 010

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 06/12/2024Since moving to Bluesky, I've realised how much I hate engagement baiters and attention seekers.

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 06/12/2024I have to say, I'm finding the jokes about the killing of the CEO of United healthcare utterly contemptible.

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 03/12/2024For the first time since joining Bluesky, I've encountered an inflammatory issue. I think Biden pardoning his son is a bad look, and he shouldn't have done it. I also don't think Trump should have pardoned the people he did. Ultimately, presidential pardons are dumb, and shouldn't exist. 210
