Sceptic (not with a k - I'm English!), grammatical pedant but (reasonably) nice guy living in Cornwall, England.

@LucyJayneWhite1 @marksandspencer Just for clarification, who do I need to report your debilitating xenophobia to?

[Daniel Pearce @danpearce]

@danwootton You claim in your bio to show ‘no spin, no bias’, then go and refer to a post which incited racial hatred by calling for people to burn hotels housing immigrants as ‘an inappropriate post’. Really, Dan - ‘no spin, no bias’?

[Daniel Pearce @danpearce]

Every now and then, you come across customer service that’s so ridiculous and shamelessly self-serving that you can’t help but tell people about it. This is one of those times.

Step up to the plate, @AnglianHomeImp.

@timminchin So glad this finally happened; my children and I love it!

@stevebarclay, my young family and I would really like for me not to be hospitalised over Christmas from Covid just because I have to be on Rituximab in order to be an active dad.#Evusheld4NHS

I was going to write something about the awful, religion-fuelled insanity that seems to be going on in the US right now, but Margaret Atwood beat me to it some time ago.

@justjane100 I didn’t do the calculations. You shared a screenshot, I then found the source from the person in the screenshot, read it (which clearly you didn’t bother to do) and gave you the data directly from that source.

[Daniel Pearce @danpearce]

@justjane100 Incidentally, did you actually read what you shared? I found the tweet, then the antivax article and finally the data they referenced for their claim. It doesn’t say what they claim it said. Here’s the death toll by vaccination status.

[Daniel Pearce @danpearce]

@justjane100 Jane, that’s nothing more than a side effect of high vaccination rates.

[Daniel Pearce @danpearce]

@JaneFarnham It does so because the vaccine *does* prevent the spread of the virus.

[Daniel Pearce @danpearce]

@GillianMcKeith So you’re planning to react to a company that has said they don’t want your business by … not giving them your business? Clever.
This is just as insane as the rest of your antivax ramblings.

Thanks, @Tesco - it’d be nice if you hadn’t just left a shielding family of six with no food for a week ... https://t.co/v9RFLIANVn @BBCSpotlight

As a sufferer of #myastheniagravis I’m running the 874 mile #lejog to raise money for @myawareUK. Of course, I had to make a music video too; I hope @foofighters can forgive me for destroying a classic. https://t.co/GQm6e2hVlV #learntofly #getfitordietrying

Hard to tell if I recorded this 30 years or 10 minutes ago...

[Daniel Pearce @danpearce]

@realDonaldTrump So what you’re publicly stating is that you, the President of the USA, don’t understand the concept of free speech ...?

[Daniel Pearce @danpearce]

@tenaciousd @jackblack @GassLeak Weird request: I’m making a leaving video for a friend at work, to the tune of ‘Tribute’. If either of you has time to share a video of you saying ‘the greatest and best Rhi in the world’ and/or ‘this is just their tribute’ it would be incredible!

[Daniel Pearce @danpearce]

Holy crap. Cant wait for the second half of @timminchin’s ‘Back’!

[Daniel Pearce @danpearce]

L̵i̵t̵e̵r̵a̵l̵l̵y̵ Figuratively cannot wait for @timminchin’s ‘Back’ tonight at @PlymPavilions; I’m working from home today with the back catalogue on a little too loudly. It’s been far too long since @TheEdenSessions gig.

[Daniel Pearce @danpearce]

@uTobian @Woo_Detector I have a perfect answer - gun control. It works, as do vaccines.

[Daniel Pearce @danpearce]

@DettolUKParents If you’re trying to make children’s health better, can you please try not to do it at the expense of their literacy?? 😱
