@mrwill909. I do not regard democracy as much of a prize. It is freedom under the law which guards us, along with the adversarial nature of parliament and a diverse press. Democracy, as recently demonstrated in Turkey ca be and often is used to undermine freedom and law. — PolitiTweet.org

When will the criminal justice systems in these islands begin to examine the correlation between severe, irrational violence and marijuana use? See the website "Attacker Smoked Cannabis" — PolitiTweet.org

.@selwyn26david. You'll have to explain to me why you think this piece of information wipes out the fact that Yanukovych was the legitimate, elected head of state and was illegally, violently and unconstitutionally removed, with the backing of a foreign power. — PolitiTweet.org

Now half way through this very necessary book on Britain’s vast unpaid WW1 debt to the USA, which has poisoned US-UK relations ever since, and is so embarrassing most British people don’t know of it, or refuse to believe it. https://t.co/bCi52bLKt9 — PolitiTweet.org

.@rossshippy. Of course illegal poison is bought by criminal morons from criminal sellers. Would you *rather* it was sold by big business and advertised on TV? experience shows legalisation means a combination of both. Prosecute the buyers, reliably and firmly, and the trade dies — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

OK .@philippullman. You say ‘everybody’ labelled secondary modern pupils as failures. Does that mean ( as it appears to do) that you, who taught in such schools , did such labelling? Or perhaps you were the one heroic teacher who refused to do this wretched thing? Do tell. — PolitiTweet.org

.@oldishbird1. How many? Can you give a source? The 1945 Labour govt did indeed ban Secondary Mods from setting public exams, but this was overturned in the early 1950s, after which thousands of Secondary Mod pupils took O levels(at a standard comps would not be able to meet) — PolitiTweet.org

@anthonystoppani. I am sorry that some left-wing teacher told you to feel this way. He had no business doing so. — PolitiTweet.org

.@philippullman It is you and your left-wing friends, who now support ruthless selection by wealth as the basis of education, who have always sneered at Secondary Moderns and told those who went to them they were failures. To promote your politics, you sneer at millions. — PolitiTweet.org

.@scotmum1 . I disagree. I am not sure that it helps Ukraine to deepen and lengthen the war taking place in Ukraine (though it may help the USA conduct its proxy war with Russia on Ukraininan soil , a separate issue). I hate war and wish to see an end to it. Surely you do too? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Really, @vytejok? Please provide evidence for this. Your country was not in NATO between 1991, when it regained its independence, and 2004. And it was not invaded. If NATO membership is the sole, precise reason for it not being invaded, how can that be so? — PolitiTweet.org

.@ChrisBa57027595 Forgive me, but are you disputing that there was a Nuland-Pyatt conversation? If not, what are you trying to say? Here is one of many accounts of it, chosen at random https://t.co/bU3YvIpEK3 — PolitiTweet.org
