.@paulashwin , I wonder how many modern British university degrees you could get for this Iraqi Thousand Dinar note, issued about the time Saddam was captured in Dec 2003. It’s in quite good *condition*, after all. https://t.co/bDBn1wvazm — PolitiTweet.org

In some ways my absolute favourite passage from Labour’s 1997 manifesto. Would they still say this? https://t.co/laOJKBgcFA — PolitiTweet.org
Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah
Rearranging my archives, I came across this totalitarian claim in Labour’s 1997 manifesto. If this were so, the the opposition would have no constitutional role. https://t.co/uF3rDxzU7f — PolitiTweet.org

1/2 But it so isn't @paulashwin. The principal quality of money is value, which persists in some currencies despite them being dull, crumpled and dirty, and dwindles in others despite the prettiness and crispness of the notes. — PolitiTweet.org

Obviously, @count18899. That is why he believed in WMD, when I didn't, and supported the Iraq war, when I didn't. No contest, really. Do you want to add that the wrong brother died (it's all included in the Twitter admission price) , or are you quite done for the day? — PolitiTweet.org

.@paulashwin. OK, next time I write a book about *anything* I will put in a definition of quality . It means 'How good the thing is, which is under discussion'. And what better way of studying the changing quality of education than examination results, comparable over time? — PolitiTweet.org

@paulashwin. I'm not confusing them at all.If an institution lowers its standards,it will result in lower quality in whatever it produces,in this case graduates. The UK's universities lowered their standards to expand,and promptly lowered their quality.Why even bother to deny it? — PolitiTweet.org

.@paulashwin That is an utterly different argument... In any case, the book doesn't say what you said it says. In fact a national academically selective system would *reduce* disadvantage by making available tens of thousands of new school places for those best able to use them. — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 @paulashwin. You did all the technical right things, such as giving the page ref and putting the Bakewell words in double quote marks. So you're off the hook academically. But the non-academic reader would in my view conclude that I had originated the words. — PolitiTweet.org

1/2 Arguable, @paulashwin. I think Lady Bakewell, in these passages, is having an interesting argument with her younger self. But if you are going to put words in quotes,it's well to say who you are quoting. From Lady B,the words are far more telling thna thye would be from me. — PolitiTweet.org
