RT @Iancollins14373: @ClarkeMicah Peter, now might be an appropriate time to remind @DrHilaryJones of his complete disregard for your view… — PolitiTweet.org

I use the telegraph as shorthand for the many Tories known to me who made their peace with the Blair revolution. — PolitiTweet.org

And maybe not. As a Wykehamist, he probably has not thought much about grammar schools. — PolitiTweet.org

Next Tuesday evening, 10th January at the University of Buckingham I hope to speak about Russia and Ukraine. https://t.co/VpVHCSXWTS — PolitiTweet.org

.@AlisonH73216123 The Leninist revolution collapsed because it failed.Blairism (actually Eurocommunism) arises from the Left's realisation in 1968 that Gramsci had been right & the Soviet system would never work. So they re-engineered the revolution,& the Daily Telegraph loved it — PolitiTweet.org

I do not advocate a Utopia .@oggmus. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Category error, @costakeith3 . In fact the Victorian era saw the rapid spread of the belief in equality of the sexes *and* of what moderns would call the ‘repression’ of bad language and other expressions of coarseness and abandon. I would call it self-restraint. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @ramy_abousetta: This needs to be read by anyone who is even remotely interested in the future of Britain. Such a well articulated pie… — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Not I, .@nicyooyak1 I am just saying the same thing over and over again. Mr Benjamin is still not paying attention. I am fast running out of electrons. — PolitiTweet.org

Imaginary, .@robertchallis? There has been no change in the cultural and moral status of the western countries? Nobody campaigned for it? — PolitiTweet.org

.@truth_realism . Not sure why you ask this.But you might benefit from reading my 2004 book ‘The Abolition of Liberty’ . Nobody doubts that bad things are happening. The question is what if anything can be done about them. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

I have no idea. The revolution has happened, and in the nature of revolutions, has destroyed the modes of thought and speech which might permit a counter-revolution. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

This is right. But the freedom of dodgy billionaures to give to parties, plus state aid need to be ended , and broadcasting rules need to be reformed. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

In your pedantic opinion @Bb28967338. English is a living spoken language, not Latin. It has no rules of this kind. My meaning is clear and the construction is not ugly. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

5/5 I don't mind that people are so naive & ill-informed that they think the Eurocommunist Cultural Revolution hasn't happened or can be reversed. But I do mind simultaneously being called a defeatist by those deluded in this way, *and* being asked to cheer them on. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

4/5 . So here's the paradox. I saw, in New Labour, and in Cameron, a huge revolution I could get nobody else to see, and watched it win without opposition. Now I am asked to join in a supposed battle which took place, and was lost, years ago. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

3/4 I still can hardly bear even to meet some of them again (some still cannot grasp the Chernobyl-sized scale of their error in legitimising Cameron's Blairite takeover of the Tory Party). I stood on my small hillock and watched a giant catastrophe, and nobody even noticed.... — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

2/3 If you think it gives me any pleasure to conclude that conservatism is powerless, you are terribly mistaken. When I still thought there was some hope, and a viable plan of action, I was reduced to speechless fury by the response of those I thought should be my allies. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

1/2 Mr Benjamin, how can I give them advice, when I have none to give? All I claim to do is to explain how we got here, and to tell the truth about the present. And, as you see, the second of those can lead to tiresome misunderstandings and tedious quarrels. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@selisann. There is *nothing* wrong with first past the post. That is why the left so want to abolish it. Please read https://t.co/xebCp9oncj — PolitiTweet.org

It's become a habit .@aylmer51. It may be needless, but , unless you can tell me different, I'll continue to assume that it is also harmless. I'm astonished by the things people 'know' about Twitter, what you are supposed to do and not do. Yet there's no reliable manual. — PolitiTweet.org
