What is so Good about Democracy? What’s wrong with ‘Libertarianism’? And who has the right to review what? https://t.co/hlQiRlPGWI — PolitiTweet.org

My first time on BBC TV in some years. Sign of a change or will someone be punished for this? https://t.co/CEl6t4DzO4 — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 .@peterbdoran What military action was taken by Russia against Ukraine before the US-supported putsch in Kiev in 2014, which overthrow Ukraine's legitimate, elected Presidnet by force, and installed a government pleasing to Washington? Why is my point 'ludicrous'? — PolitiTweet.org

1/2 @peterbdoran. There is something in this, as France undoubtedly financed, armed and militarily suported the American 'revolution' in revenge for her losses in the Seven Years War. Yorktown was won by Rochambeau and de Grasse. — PolitiTweet.org

My Daily Mail colleague Sue Reid *did* go to the asylum courts, as I'd have told @benpbradshaw if he'd stayed for an answer. They don't help his case much: https://t.co/mEjJAuTUa6 — PolitiTweet.org

Please do, but for the Brest-Litovsk issue you would do well to read the relevant chapters of Adam Tooze's brilliant 'The Deluge' . — PolitiTweet.org

.@edujdw And perhaps I wouldn't. My very experienced colleague Sue Reid, a reporter of huge experience and tenacity, has done this, as it were, for me and for you, and you will not like the result: https://t.co/mEjJAuTUa6 — PolitiTweet.org

.@edwardlucas I asked you how many countries had held a vote on the matter. The answer is two. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

We did ,.@greenwoodaxes, but not for about sixty years. It's not really comparable to our crazed interventions in Iraq,Syria and Afghanistan, though I certainly accept that ther absurd intervenbtion in Libya was an act of an enrmous folly with a huge effect on the migrant flow. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@patanna. Can you please tell me exactly when I said that? I wondered why, if they are refugees, they pass through so many safe countries before arriving here. Surely a refugee is fleeing *from*, not going *to*. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@BillboBagginsX asks a good question. The BBC is so biased on so much that I do not think I have been on BBC-TV for at least 2 years . It is fascinating that I have been allowed back, so enraging all the leftists who are now exploding in rage and abuse at my appearance. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

I did not backtrack @JamesWo28141187 . I resisted the attempts by a Labour MP to misrepresent my position. The obligations we acquired while intervening in Afghanistan are a special case, which obviously doesn't apply to, say, an Albanian. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @eggyfishmas: @Haggis_UK Peter is a repugnant person. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@film_quiz. I don't know about 'must', but it would make sense. If you wish to assert that someone is a refugee you cannot then insist that, once that person is safe from what he flees from, he has an unrestricted choice of which country he lives in. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@bowfinarse 1. I did not say that they *have* to settle in the first safe country. I wondered why they did not do so if they were primarily seeking asylum. 2. I did not say they came here to seek benefits. Try again. I also prefer my brother to you. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Why would that follow @yuvalmi? Once someone arrives here by this method, it is very dfficult to remove him. These decisions do not confirm that theoperson seeking to come to this country is in fact seeking asylum. Just that it cannot be proved he isn't. — PolitiTweet.org

@m.@andyblueskyz . The thing about the USA’s close neighbours is that they all know very well,from the history of the region, that they can’t step out of line;No need to invade. But if China staged a putsch in Mexico City and started arming Mexico, what do you think would happen? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Nor can I offhand @andyblueskyz, but they did back a violent putsch against Ukraine’s elected President in 2014, which is another method they sometimes use. — PolitiTweet.org

@. Jonny_b69 . Who do you hope to fool in this crude way? As you well know, wind power is intermittent, unpredictable and unreliable. Another snapshot could just as easily show the opposite. — PolitiTweet.org
