The USA might want a proxy war in Russia. But what are OUR aims in Ukraine? https://t.co/rh4Ul2RmP9 via @mailplus — PolitiTweet.org

RT @suprememercian: I think the key bit here is that we generally only execute criminals, not the entire population — PolitiTweet.org

.@yakleftie You speak of China as if it was a civil society rather than what it is, an iron-bound despotism which locks up dissenters. If the Chinese state feels it suits its aims to mine and burn coal, it will do so. It may also make some greenish statements to gull the naive. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

No doubt you do .@yakleftie, but bravery involves rather more than that. I think the term is overused, myself. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Please explain, .@dr_duran. I want to be sure I understand exactly what you mean. — PolitiTweet.org

.@essex_otis. I have never heard of any major mask mandate in this country which was imposed only on the unvaccinated. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Very possibly. Bernie's brother lives in Oxford. — PolitiTweet.org

3/3 .@aaronbastani I urge you to read my book 'The Abolition of Liberty'. One of its main points is that societies which effectively punish wrongdoing after due process tend to be much more free for innocent people going about their ordinary business. https://t.co/sSgc6qATnU — PolitiTweet.org

2/3 .@aaronbastani. If the state had been as interested in examining the *evidence* for compulsory masking as I am in examining the evidence against an accused person before convicting and punishing him, it would never have manadated them... — PolitiTweet.org

1/3 .@aaronbastani. Even the most ferocious advocates of the death penalty don't suggest just killing everyone. It's a penalty, imposed only on those convicted of an especially heinous crime, after a fair and open trial before an impartial, independent jury. — PolitiTweet.org

Almost 100,000 have watched this intervew of me by @AaronBastani since it was released on Sunday night. You might like to watch it too. Here it is https://t.co/XLZ6PAMhbR — PolitiTweet.org

And you also imperil yourself by trusting too much in them , .@djneils98 . Cycling in big city traffic is complicated, and often requires civilised self-assertion which outsiders, who have only ever ridden in Toytown, might not understand. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@djneils98 Have you never encountered a vehicle signalling an intention it does not in fact fulfil or worse. I was knocked off my motorbike in, oh, 1968, by a van signalling right which turned left. Since then I have paid more attention to road positioning etc. — PolitiTweet.org

.@yakleftie What has Ms Thunberg done that has been brave? What danger has she courted? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@chris1966. No doubt, and this was surely very brave. But the thing is that the whole net zero policy in Western countries is negated by the continued expansion of coal use in China and India. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@trainfanmatt Actually, my guess is that the PRC would handle Ms Thunberg with cunning and delicacy. But we are not very likely to find out , are we? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@BruKli_USA . Could you be very kind and explain this tweet? I have the impression you think it very witty and cutting, but I cannot for the life of me see why you would think that. And if it isn't those things, what is it for? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@johnmellis. To prevent what? A takeover of Europe by an incompetent, corrupt economic dwarf? Kagan's actual words: 'to insist that the [Russian] invasion [of Ukraine] was entirely unprovoked is misleading'. See https://t.co/ykDvkKDMLJ — PolitiTweet.org

Has Ms Thunberg @GretaThunberg protested against coal mines in the People's Repubic of China? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Time to remember. One of the interesting statements made by people qualified to make them, which ought at least to make people *think* about the Ukraine war. See also Jack Matlock , on the 2014 Kieve putsch, and neocon militant Robert Kagan on whether Russia was provoked. — PolitiTweet.org

Ah, ok, well you did address it to@l me so you’ll have to forgive me for getting it wrong. There is a light-controlled pedestrian crossing *immediately* to the left of the junction, which greatly complicates its use. — PolitiTweet.org

@mozzman, I have no idea. It was safer for me to go ahead of him rather than wobbling about waiting to find out if he was indicating correctly. And so it proved. Many drivers indicate incorrectly. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Crikey., @jprnyct, I have been negotiating that junction at least five times a week for 20 years. If you are really interested, why not visit it some time, and you’ll grasp its complexities, too boring to set out here. — PolitiTweet.org
