There’s something in what you say .@everythingj4ck . I have long thought that economic crisis, such as we now face, would place grave strains on a society already in deep trouble. — PolitiTweet.org

@doorhamer60. You are confusing two issues. The Human rights convention is a weak *protection* against state power. But is a strong *weapon* in the hands of political judges.. — PolitiTweet.org

But @algerninsidney, that’s just the point. Christianity *was* a virtually universal belief, in large parts of the world. ‘Human rights’ is not and will never be. Like replacing a palace with a shed. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@titusxgroan Really? But the people have never agreed these ‘rights’ , an elite project largely the work of Eleanor Roosevelt.And the government can cancel them at will. So no, you see, it is not a trader. It’s the truth. They don’t exist. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

But I make no such claim for my so-called freedoms .@shaun_hutchings. They are merely codified and precise legal limits on power. But they arise out of laws with Biblical origins, and from the rule of law over power, which cannot exist without a recognition of divine authority. — PolitiTweet.org

No .@H2STApocalypse American law has the same Christian and Biblical foundation as English law, on which it is based. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

No , .@jprnyct, common law is an interpretation of exsting law, which is, you'll find, largely from the Bible. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@dougalpollux I do not know what 'natural rights' are. The whole ides of a 'right' is baffling to me. Law as I understand it takes sides over torts and crimes, punishing or discouraging in different ways those who commit them. How do 'rights' fit into this? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@afterthought_01 Why? Powerless people have no easy access to the courts to pursue arguyments about what each clause means or which is observed when two conflict. . Why should 'Human Rights' favour the weak? On the contrary, they are a tool of the strong. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@algernonsidney. This may possibly be poetry. I am not qualified to say. But it is not reasoned argument. There is no objective basis for the existence of 'human rights'. They are just composed of judges all the way down. That's all — PolitiTweet.org

@G1nrummy I didn't blame it on sourdough, though I do think Oxford's pseudo-intellectual classes, with their cat-milk coffee and vegan bacon, have failed to support traditional shops in the Covered Market. I suspect the Covid panic struck the fatal blow. — PolitiTweet.org
