Dominic Lawson toys with outrageous possibility, which is after all not much odder than the truth: ‘Agent Truss: mission achieved for Labour’ https://t.co/PLCLdSMKbs — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you @alexnazaryan for the most hilarious hostile misunderstanding of the week. It reminds me of my own teenage Trotskyism. — PolitiTweet.org

I didn’t mention your words,.@popovaprof, let alone twist them. i just emphasised *my* openness to debate against people who disagree with me. Details, Details. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

You’re engaging in hostile unresponsive sniping, not debating, @popovaprof. You can’t conceive it possible that there is a legitimate case which differs from your own. Major western broadcasters are suppressing debate. It is astonishingly rare. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

You mean @johnobrennan2 that you disagree with me. Academics these days! If the professors are like this, what will their students be like when they have finished with them? Still, by 2080, *everyone* will have a first class degree. Hurrah. — PolitiTweet.org

@popovaprof. What a strange thing to say. I seek negotiations to end the war. These will eventually take place, and both sides will concede points. I think sooner, as I have seen a bit of war and think it a duty to work to end it. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

They are hugely relevant @popovaprof. Yanukovych could have been removed by lawful, peaceful means and Ukraine could still be undivided, there could be no war and thousands now dead or refugees could be alive and at home. Why did the mob leaders *prefer* lawless violence? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@popovaprof, we could learn from each other. I think you are afraid of debate, having spent too long among allies, dismissing any other view as Putin apology etc. it is astonishing how little reasoned discussion is taking place on this vital subject — PolitiTweet.org

@davidrobjant. On what basis do you accuse me of bad faith? Are you incapable of civilised disagreement? — PolitiTweet.org

.@b_50000 Bilge. Apart from a couple of encounters on BBC Question Time when I've pointed out that she is a Liberal Democrat, I have often been rude about Ms Truss, who I think absurd. Try this for example https://t.co/lRCA8Hw05C — PolitiTweet.org

1/2!Prof Richard Sakwa of the University of Kent explains the events which led to the Kiev Putsch in 2014. Crucially, a peaceful and lawful dealwas available. The mob *preferred* a violent overthrow. Why? https://t.co/drYWTa5Ekw — PolitiTweet.org

PETER HITCHENS: 'Blood donation is a rare example of pure unselfishness in action, which has nothing to do with markets or gain or even enlightened self-interest. People just give blood because they want to help others, and for no other reason.' https://t.co/8aluM2Z5CN — PolitiTweet.org

'It was Titmuss's argument which took me for the first time to a blood donation clinic, half a century ago, when I was a revolutionary Marxist. And it still keeps me going there, as often as I reasonably can, now that I am a conservative Christian.' https://t.co/8aluM2Z5CN — PolitiTweet.org

I am not a ‘contrarian’ .@popovaprof. I disagree with you because I think you are mistaken, not for the sake of it. — PolitiTweet.org

@popovaprof Ah, well, I * am* a fan of debate, the best route to truth. It’s always productive if both parties are prepared to be responsive, and willing to learn. Alas, I find very few fulfil these conditions. But here I am, if you are ready to take part. — PolitiTweet.org

In what way countered .@popovaprof? I don't want a list, but if the facts he adduces about the putsch have been in any way shown to be incorrect, please tell me *where* this is shown, preferably with references. I already know his position is not fashionable, like yours. — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 @popovaprof Thucydides’s first law of international relations: “They that have odds of power exact as much as they can, and the weak yield to such conditions as they can get.”. It may be sad, but it is true. You live in Canada, you must have noticed your neighbours. — PolitiTweet.org
