2.@oldcockle. Most ‘cycle paths’ are intermittent painted lines, or bits of pedestrian pavement strewn with glass, undulating with dropped kerbs, where you lose the right of way at junctions. Like most cyclists, I can generally cover half a mile faster than any car in traffic..l — PolitiTweet.org

.@oldcockle I’ll nominate you for a sainthood. I don’t believe I’ve ever held up a long line of traffic, but I’ve certainly been gratuitously hooted, viciously cut up, shouted at, and also held up by oversized motor vehicles clogging tiny streets. — PolitiTweet.org

Isn’t it, .@oldcockle? I mean what do cyclists have to complain about? It’s really weird. — PolitiTweet.org

@davidricks41178 . Really it is because the eurocommunist cultural left now believe they are in charge, and see the USA as the arsenal of progress.. — PolitiTweet.org

.@smeeghee. It grieves me to have to tell you that WW2 is not the only war in history, nor the only model against which subsequent conflicts should be measured or examined. — PolitiTweet.org

.@contrahitch99 . You mean , here is an article you agree with. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Quite so. .@londontheatre1. Mr Panetta, for some reason, has not been called a Putin apologist or accused of parroting Kremlin talking points, as I would be if I said this. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@wojinald. I am not quite sure of your point on Transnistria, but Chechnya is actually part of the Russian Federation, Heidi Taglivini's report for the EU showed that Georgia started the 2008 war and, again, what's your point on Crimea? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Well, .@clemmowjoe, I am sure we are all most grateful for your definitive verdict on the life and work of the late George Kennan. When do you plan to retire as UN Secretary General? — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 .@britaingrates As for countres that didn't join NATO, I haven't seen any major Russian threats to Ireland or Austria. In fact long years of peace passed before most of E.Europe joined NATO. See https://t.co/uQpbkWbBZx — PolitiTweet.org

1/2 .@britaingrates . As I say, there's only ever been one referendum on the subject(in tandem with one on EU membership) in Slovenia. I'd welcome any evidence of popular support. — PolitiTweet.org

On Benjamin Netanyahu. https://t.co/qX61ivfAMe I sort of suspected he might be back. And, for all his many faults, I think he is misrepresented. — PolitiTweet.org

Like seeing an actual unicorn , a British police force present in the streets and *enforcing* a law. Whatever came over them? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Oh, .@londontheatre1, I apologise, I misunderstood you entirely. Actually two to one (I'd put it at more like three to two myself) was a very good result after years of utterly one-sided coverage of this issue. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

And yet .@DavidRicks41178 few protest when businesses high-handedly announce that they 'cannot' take cash, and proponents of the 'cashless society' get an easy ride from media and the political class. We need to copy the French and make it illegal to refuse cash. — PolitiTweet.org

@johsonlevant. I think *parts* of it are the word of God. Much of it is not, being legal statutes, prophecy, poetry, history etc. Much of it is obviously the word of man, see for instance the 137th psalm, vv 8-9. I tend to leave other people to believe what they wish to believe. — PolitiTweet.org

.@circenm1 No point in persuading by technique alone. Those who are won over by these slick methods swiftly drift away again. Proper rational persuasion will always be tough, slow, hard and dispiriting. And sometimes thse persuaded do not admit it for years afterwards. — PolitiTweet.org
