Quite. Makes my point about breathalyser. — PolitiTweet.org

.@cjsnowdon has yet to learn rule one of surveys on the web. ‘Could’ also means ‘could not’. Watch out for those weak verbs. They are the conman’s friend, and the thinking person’s enemy. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

That’ll be ‘the science’ that closed down the country and precipitated our current bout of wild inflation .@cjsnowdon . That is to say elite groupthink plus supposition. — PolitiTweet.org

@cjsnowdon. Post hoc ergo propter hoc error. The 1960s experiment with permanent BST closely followed the introduction of the breathalyser and seat-belts. It was so unpopular it had to be ended early. — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 .@henrydbuckley As I recall I objected to your insinuation about me, contained in the use of the word 'conveniently'. You've admitted my interpretation was legitimate, and apologised. If you *are* sorry, best leave it alone. If not, too bad. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

1/2 .@henrydbuckley. You're the one who said 'My comment which began this exchange was poorly worded and left myself open to the misinterpretation and offence that you have intuited from it. I withdraw the comment and apologise.' — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@balticduke. I would guess so. But I suspect the Teenage Ukrainian Jingo faction, with its ignorant macho delight in faraway bloodshed, has little knowledge or understanding of such things. — PolitiTweet.org

.@pishpishcat. I have sometimes wondered. But the covid panic still seems so crazy to me that I can think of no position which he took in his life which would give me a clue. Also many people surprised me at the time, whom I thought I knew well. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Then why, .@xwingfella, would you need to say so on Twitter? Not caring would mean you would have no interest in entering into this discussion. You care. You side with this mannerless crudity. Well, now we know what sort of person you are — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@dessany2 . I am not remotely upset. I am laughing at you, you silly boy. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@xwingfella. I am neither 'whining' nor 'offended' . I just think it is wrong and ill-mannered to promote this image. You would too, if you were not blinded by partisan rage. It is obviously ugly and cheap. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@andy_dundon. I have no 'theory' that Sir Keir is a 'Trotskyist revolutionary'. I have stated the unchallenged facts about his political past and present here: https://t.co/WTgop3zHfP. You really ought to read it before misrepresenting what I say. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

All the time. Lies need to@be countered @ken_beckfoot1 , or people will think they are true. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Er, .@cub_bearson, I am not a communist. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@roydini25 Neither you nor anyone else should write untruths about other people on the internet. Lies of this kind damage the person who tells them , not their target. They also poison the wells of truth. Shame on you. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@nataliaantonova ⛔️🔀↘️↕️ The picture looks very like the Mother of God, holding a lethal weapon instead of the Christ Child. I doubt I'm alone in finding it lacking in proper reverence. Do you not care? You should. Calling me names and repeating slogans does not alter this. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@hillsided. Derek was the perfect voice for the Blairite cultural and moral left — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@nataliaantonova.🐢🔀🎼 I am not 'hassling' you. You published, on a social media platform, an image which I dislike. I doubt very much that you were unaware of that risk. I politely pointed out my objection. If you have no qualms about such things, why do you care? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

No .@andy_dundon. I *know* that Keir Starmer *is* a Pabloite Red-Green, and have said so in detail (unchallenged by him) . He is not a sleeper. Sleepers conceal their real nature. https://t.co/WTgop3RQtX — PolitiTweet.org

.@dessany2. Once again, the opportunity for long-distance amateur psychoanalysis, free at the point of abuse, is one of the chief joys of Twitter. Tell me, Mr Dessany, have you ever actually met either of us? I don't recall meeting you. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Goodness, . @SuzieWo20886208, how I miss those programmes with Derek, who has been much in my thoughts and prayers lately. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

That's very generous and reasonable of you, .@Casey88428138 . But a lot of this is not about the quality of what is said. A lot of my brother's fans know little of his actual work (and nothing of mine) , but simply see him as a champion of the atheist cause which they embrace. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@cliftonaduncan. Most kind of you. I should have thought it quite possible for a person to enjoy or benefit from work by both of us. But a lot of people on Twitter like to use my late brother to attack me, and I don't see why I (or anyone else) should put up with it. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

2/2 .@xwingfella .I suspect my brother's fanboys and sycophants revere him because his attacks on God make them feel free to pursue their personal desires with complete personal autonomy. To them this was much more important than small matters such as state lies or bloody wars. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

1/2 'Good' as in believing gullibly in WMD and supporting the stupidest war in modern history? Or was it something else .@xwingfella? If you are going to mock religious believers for naivety and claim to be an opponent of authority, these actions will look doubly foolish. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@setchp Don't bother trying to discuss this with him. He's off his chump. He has defined 'ban' to mean 'banned by law' and, as there is no actual decree, he could I suppose *just* argue that I am *mistaken* when I describe the film's unavailablity as a ban. But a *lie*? — PolitiTweet.org
