.@roberts57121387 I have no idea, I rarely use a car in Oxford. I do not support these schemes, and think people should be persuaded out of cars rather than bullied out of them . But I also suspect many people overuse cars for journeys that could be done without them. — PolitiTweet.org

.@mirkomiguel On the contrary, I think everyone should realise that he may one day become a refugee, a prisoner or a slave. None of us knows his future. I am in favour of accepting *genuine* refugees. Abuse of the rules by economic migrants undermines this. — PolitiTweet.org

.@doonhamer60. I ask again. Did you support any or all of the idealistic western interventions which created the crisis: Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@doonhamer60. No, I am disputing your logic. They left their countries of origin for country X because they were refugees.They seek to leave country X to come here because they are migrants. It is so simple, only a dogged determination to ignore it could keep you from seeing it. — PolitiTweet.org

[email protected] doubts it. But I would not be a refugee.I’d be a migrant,seeking entry to a new country.That country should be entitled to decide whether it wants to take me in:You’re obscuring reason with emotion:Do you back the stupid emotional wars which create this problem? — PolitiTweet.org

.@kwitie . It’s not really that sort of book. I needed to point out that grammar schools don’t need to@follow the exact pattern of 1944, but that’s all. It is above all the story of what happened. I have no proposals.They won’t come back . There were hardly any technical schools. — PolitiTweet.org

.@casscout, high, and the capacity to do so remains small. Equally important is the use of carbon-based (usually gas) fuel to keep generators 'spinning' so that they can immediately use wind when it is available. — PolitiTweet.org

.@stevemayman Alas. The hatred for school selection by ability is an irratioal dogma in this country, promoted by 'socialists' yet hurting the poor and benefiting the wealthy. — PolitiTweet.org

.@liamch91 Such a foolish waste of hard work and taxpayers' money. How could they have *known* it would never be needed. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@chimewhistle. It is pure dogma. The Net Zero objective and the Green preoccupaton in general, have replaced the old class war (now outmoded) as the main engine of thought and action on the revolutionary left. Sexual revolution has much the same purpose. — PolitiTweet.org

Shock news. Wind often doesn’t blow much in cold weather. What ‘extra coal-fired plants’ are they talking about? We blew most of them up, being so sure we would never need them and they were so wicked. https://t.co/rN25qBLht8 — PolitiTweet.org

.@L94813802 You can import coal-fired pants from China. The Lanzhou ones are the best . But whatever you do, do not buy Soviet surplus nuclear pants. — PolitiTweet.org

.@lusirick. Fantastic find! But of course Lukashenko is neither the Russian State nor Russian State media, and indeed is generlaly viewed as a bit, er, unstable, which presumably is why @francis_scarr felt he could not use him as evidence for his claim. — PolitiTweet.org

Note that @Francis_scarr , who is here trying to substantiate a statement that Russian state broadcasting predicted (in February 2022) a victory over Ukraine in three days, neglects to note that this clip is from April 2021. — PolitiTweet.org
