@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?

@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.

@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.

What 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.

Just 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.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social If this caller is actually a police officer, I'd be amazed.
The fact that he went straight to child grooming suggests he rang up with an agenda.

Why 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.

I happened to turn the Baftas on to see Zoe Saldana blubbing.
I don't understand why actors get so emotional when they win awards.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:
-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.
-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.
