I thank you for your kind intention .@aylmer51. How does one find these things out? Where are these wholly obscure rules explained? Please don't fob me off by directing me to Twitter support etc. It's not there. — PolitiTweet.org

1/2 What threat are you thinking of , @seibtnaomi? Palmerston and Gladstone, two of our greatest national leaders, very cleverly avoided getting into wars with Prussia, despite being told it was a threat. If only Asquith had done the same in 1914. — PolitiTweet.org

Nothing wrong with it .@oflithu. English is not Latin. 'But' and 'and' often work very well at the beginning of a sentence. The test of good English is how it reads out loud, not whether it conforms to some Latinate 1930s grammar manual. — PolitiTweet.org

How does one 'traffick in defeat'? .@falstaffbloom? Surely there has to be a choice between defeat and victory, implying a fight in progress whose outcome is in doubt. — PolitiTweet.org

Not the faintest chance .@JollyYeholiver MPs are chosen in private by party machines for safe seats, and that choice is then confirmed by voters, voting tribally. Independents do not get elected. Individual MPs are also among the most powerless beings on the planet. — PolitiTweet.org

.@martywin1. It is the most famous and widely-accepted definition of faith in Christian Scripture (Hebrews XI. 1). I wouldn't presume to speculate on what Muslims believe. — PolitiTweet.org
Martywin @Martywin1
@ClarkeMicah @spicypadtha1 That's an interesting definition of faith. Do you believe Muslims have faith in that sense, or just believe?

Please give examples of the bad writing ,.@frazzlethom. I am always anxious to improve. But I am not sure it is long enough to be tedious. https://t.co/buGKbQYthO — PolitiTweet.org

@ClarkeMicah I didn't like it because it was badly written and a tad tedious.

1/2 AS you well know, Mr Benjamin, I was not thinking of you becoming what you so archaically call a 'schoolmaster'. Indeed, it might be no bad thing if you did. I know of few schoolteachers who speak to huge halls full of uniformed young men. — PolitiTweet.org

@ClarkeMicah 'How I Changed My Mind'. I called it growing up.
Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah
.@davidjfoord. I cannot think why, as I harbour no such feelings. I think you made it up out of thin air because you hadn't anything interesting to say. I'd be happy to be proved wrong. I just don't see any reason to believe that I will be proved wrong. — PolitiTweet.org
David Foord @DavidJFoord
@ClarkeMicah This is starting to read like you resent Carl for not being entirely pessimistic and simply giving up.

I've many times explained this. I think there's a passage in 'The Cameron Delusion' or perhaps 'The Rage Against God' . Try this https://t.co/EKQiYYoXPX No, it was not a sudden revelation. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm all in favour of faith in God .@spicypadtha1, but I do not even see *how* anyone can have faith ('the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen') in *himself*. — PolitiTweet.org

It is him lecturing me, not me lecturing him, .@lovelymates. I really don't care if people choose not to accept my advice, which I only offered when pressed to do so. I But I do get cheesed off when accused of being some sort of national traitor, by persons newly out of school. — PolitiTweet.org
