Only a benevolent dictator can save Oxford. Any fool can preserve the ancient colleges, but their verdant setting is in grave danger: https://t.co/vodi3DUzLy via @spectator — PolitiTweet.org

.@mrschmitzo. It is not in my back yard. It is in the nation's garden. As it happens I think there are far too many students as it is. Please see https://t.co/vodi3DCYmY — PolitiTweet.org

.@areid602. We had no allies and were bound by no treaty. We certainly had no interest of any kind (then as now) in who controlled Ukraine. Our national security interests were unaffected. There was already a balance of power, which the war overthrew. — PolitiTweet.org

And so we turned out to *be* a peripheral power, after going bankrupt and slaughtering the flower of its manhood on boneheaded offensives. — PolitiTweet.org

.@maddold52 There’s nothing stopping you. Beliefs, which are personal, untestable opinions about the unknowable, are a simple matter of choice. If you wish to believe, do so, and act as if you do. If not, not. But ‘can’t’ in such matters usually means ‘don’t wish to’. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @DavidTBTaylor: @polytixs @ClarkeMicah Time for a rethink of that. — PolitiTweet.org

.@alkalifisher Liberals who favour mass immigration have this odd conceit that a law designed for a different world can alter the obvious truth - that refugees flee *from* danger, and migrants travel *towards* what they hope will be a better life. How is France dangerous? — PolitiTweet.org

For its Christmas issue, ‘The Spectator’ asked some contributors ‘What gives you hope?’ This was my reply. https://t.co/28BUhXEYeU — PolitiTweet.org

@mrmarkhadtings. They have the *freedom*to do so. But I have the freedom to say that, in that case, they are not refugees fleeing from danger, but migrants seeking to improve their lives. Who can blame them? But it is not the same thing. — PolitiTweet.org

.@barbara69023365 I wasn’t trying to be well-received. I was trying to say the most important thing first. Anyone (who has no responsibility) can urge better pay for popular groups. But those damaged by Ms Cullen’s strike also need defenders. — PolitiTweet.org

.@leftfootfwd. In what way dd Ms Cullen 'shut me down'? I rather thought that I dismantled her attack on me. See https://t.co/J93hp2qdVG beginning at 18 minutes 25 seconds. My initial remarks on strikes, which annoyed Ms Cullen so, can be heard at 12 minutes 14 seconds. — PolitiTweet.org

.@osaemk The question was 'What are they fleeing from in France'? This is not in any way an answer to that. If they didn't cross the Channel, they'd have no need to pay the smugglers who take them across, would they? — PolitiTweet.org
