@ClarkeMicah @WilliamClouston This is one of those areas I disagree with you.

'How much better this country would be if we had kept the grammar schools open and kept good schooling available to those whose parents are not oligarchs and millionaires' https://t.co/XO3cIGo3Tm — PolitiTweet.org
Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah
Think of the un-numbered multitude of men and women whose talents would not have been wasted if we had kept grammar schools . They would have fulfilled their potential in life and never have. It's just so miserable, such a stupid waste' https://t.co/XO3cIGo3Tm — PolitiTweet.org

"The left always defend comprehensive schools by saying 'But our children nowadays all have qualifications'. So they do. But those qualifications are Zimbabwe dollars". I discuss the destruction of grammar schools with @williamclouston — PolitiTweet.org

Modern politicians sit at their vast desks in offices the size of tennis courts and they do what their flunkeys tell them. They simply do not know what they are doing. I discuss the destruction of grammar schools with @williamclouston — PolitiTweet.org

@ClarkeMicah @DavidofEngland That book taught me more about how to think about history than any class I took in H.S. Or college.

Thank you @roddreher. Whatever people think, as J.S.Mill so rightly said, no good idea will suffer from being debated. On the contrary. It is *bad* ideas that suffer from being discussed. I suspect the proponents of the USA's Ukraine policy know this only too well. — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 @philippullman I would argue that Secondary Mods were often considerably better than the comprehensives which replaced them. They certainly are not the slam dunk argument that the pro-Comprehensive lobby likes to assume. — PolitiTweet.org
Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah
1/2 .@philippullman. The Secondary Moderns have been slandered and misrepresented for many years. My book deals with this, and I would also strongly recommend Dick Stroud's book 'Secondary Mod: Much maligned or monstrous mistake' which you may obtain instantly if you wish. — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 @dominicwaltond. How many millions live under US or Chinese influence to satisfy the security needs of those countries? Do you think you can suspend gravity or make water flow uphill? How many people are you prepared to kill or drive from their homes to achieve this? — PolitiTweet.org

1/2 .@dominicwaltond2 . 'Appeasement' is just a rude word for diplomatic deals we don't currently like. Churchill and FDR hugely appeased Stalin at Yalta and nobody cares because so many people in Western Europe got 50 years of peace and prosperity in return. — PolitiTweet.org

'It was the wrong sort of revolution'. Grammar schools actually benefited children from poor homes rather than helping to bring about an imaginary utopia, which is why the Left hated them. @williamclouston interviews me about grammar schools https://t.co/XO3cIGo3Tm — PolitiTweet.org

.@hughdellar. None of these things. I think that if the west threatens, for instance, to take back Crimea (something Ukrainian politicians increasingly speak of as desirable https://t.co/PqSAVqt90q ) the danger of a severe escalation is real. — PolitiTweet.org

.@Kes76150286 How on earth could it do that? Do you even know what CCCP stands for? Russia (which ceased to be Communist 30+ years ago) is so poor, weak and incompetent, it can't even take Kharkov. How is it going to capture the rest of Europe? — PolitiTweet.org

June 2008: 'The tanks and rockets on display were prototypes of machines that the Russian arms industry cannot produce in any numbers. The soldiers are part of a shabby, corrupt army that is not remotely comparable to a serious Western force.' https://t.co/SWkTtD6ryO — PolitiTweet.org
