.@slstrm_dsgn As my old friend Christopher Booker tirelessly pointed out before his death, the 'Swiss Option' had involved decades of detailed negotiation(from Switzerland's position of strength) and ccould not and would not be replicated. It's a fantasy. — PolitiTweet.org

Really, .@Cityunslicker? I seem to recall that once the Leave campaign was taken over by Tory careerists and free trade fanatics who had always before then been Remainers, that nothing short of a hard departure was considered. — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 .@suwillow . Before you or anyone else mentions Martin Bell, he was elected only because the Labour and Liberal Democrat Parties stood aside to make way for him. They would not do that for me. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

1/2 .@suwillow. In this country, the two zombie parties choose the candidates for safe seats, and the electorate (which votes tribally rather than rationally) obediently confirms their choice. Our system never elects independent candidates. If I stood for office, I would not win. — PolitiTweet.org

More than four years ago I urged that Britain should take the Norway Option over the EU. Many will, I think, come to wish we had done so. https://t.co/VKz27KpVEW via @MailOnline — PolitiTweet.org

Today just after 11.00 AM I hope to join .@iromg Mike Graham on .@TalkRadio and .@talktv, to discuss the perpetual crisis, and perhaps the destruction of grammar schools which is partly to blame for it. — PolitiTweet.org

.@Kevinmo83240038 It is strange, but I think people were already so unreasonably scared by that stage that they simply didn’t want to know. — PolitiTweet.org

12.000 have already watched this interview https://t.co/lAeic0uyqq of me by @prwhittle since it was released this morning - on the destruction of grammar schools and on the Tory Party's long dance of death. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you .@kharamills — PolitiTweet.org

.@BlairBarley I plan to see it. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@suastusa That it did not avoid mass death ( see Sweden, which did not panic as we did, and suffered less than we did, for evidence) and that it was a wild over-reaction, like a man burning down his house to get rid of a wasps' next. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@PGroenhuysen . But I did. See for example https://t.co/0NqhCY94Da I did not campaign for Leave, nor vote for it, but urged the Norway Option. I got rather less support for that than I got for my stance on the Covid panic. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

I am not a Tory, .@MartiniHenrie, as about half a second's research would have revealed. . The book is very rude about the Tory Party's failure to defend grammar schools. — PolitiTweet.org

Can you be specific about what and why .@lyndalouis63? Otherwise people might think you were engaging in mindless abuse. — PolitiTweet.org

.@Constantine_121 I hope to do so, if anyone orders it from Blackwell's and asks for signed copies. In the past the arrangement has worked well. 01865 792792 — PolitiTweet.org

It's a point of view , .@lanc1102. I prefer to rejoice in redemption. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@lunabella128. Do you have testable evidence to show that this would have happened had we adopted Sweden's policy (where it did not happen)? Or do you just prefer panic to thought? — PolitiTweet.org

.@Blendello 1. Who thought it would be as high and as rapid as it is (me)? 2. Who says the wild over-reaction of most governments was effective in achieving its stated end? Like a man setting fire to his house to get rid of a wasps' nest. — PolitiTweet.org
