3/2 .@popovaprof. Did you have anything to say about the presnce of Brennan in Kiev, or the cabinet-making by Vicky Nuland? I seem to have missed it, if so. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

2/2 .@popovaprof It failed because Parasyuk, one of the mob leaders, publicly rejected any deal that kept Yanukovych in office, a stance that won the support of the mob, and you know the wording of that rejection. Surely that is 'due to Maidan'? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

1/2 Speculation @popovaprof. I expect Yanukovych had made plans for flight for *months*. Why should Lukin have signed it? He was a witness. The signatories were Yanukovych, Yatsenyuk, Klitschko and Tyagnybok. — PolitiTweet.org

@popovaprof Or you could say @mcfaul is stll in the estabishment and Matlock, who isn't, can speak more freely. George Friedman of Sratfor also favours the putsch explanation. — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 @ppopvaprof. The US could have put its weight behind the deal brokered by Sikorski and others, for early elections etc, which was then rejected by the mob. But it left that to EU politicians, and when it failed, Washington did nothing. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

1/2 Then @popovaprof why was the CIA director, the actual boss, in Kiev around then? Why was the US official Victoria Nuland deciding the membership of a new Ukrainian Cabinet? And why does Jack Matlock, former US Ambassador to Moscow under Reagan, say it was a US-backed coup? — PolitiTweet.org

@dominiquetaegon. Surley Labour and the Tories are the two parties *least* likely to make any difference. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

No @dominiquetaegon, it is the donation rules , state aid and the broadcasting rules, and voters' pathetic tribal behaviour, which keeps the dead parties alive. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

The two-round system just allows people to let of steam in round one and return to the elite parties in round two. Like by-elections. @dominiquetaegon — PolitiTweet.org

.@edwardlucas I'll record that as a 'no'. How do you *know* what Twitter does and why it does it? What source supplies indepndent information on this? Why would twitter care so much about such a thing, when it is so lax about so much else? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@edwardlucas .You *may* be right. In the absence of knowledge anything's possible (though, as say, I know of people whose decisions have been mysteriously overridden without their knowledge or permission) But I ask again, have you ever lost 400 followers in a single night? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@wrightconal. Of course they do. But (in my case in 2020, after about nine years on twitter) I began to experience, for the first time, strange mass culls. And my followers reported having their some of decisions overridden. I think this matters .@barereality — PolitiTweet.org

But the Supreme Court can. And the Constitution can, so that laws made by Congress can be struck down. That is a major difference. — PolitiTweet.org

But @nigel_farage, you helped save the Tory Party . If you hadn’t, we could have replaced it long ago. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Please engage seriously @calvinribinson. Yes, the liberal elite dominate in many areas, because Labour governments have installed them and Tory governments have accepted this. How many times must I say that a Tory collapse is a precondition fur a new party? 500? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@edwardlucas 400? In one night? Concentrated around significant totals? For my first eight years on Twitter I never experienced it. It began in late 2020, I think. — PolitiTweet.org

2/2.@edwardlucas. Those affected are in no doubt that their account was altered without their knowledge. It only started during Covid;It usually happens a lot as I approach a significant total,a number ending in 500 or 000. Have you ever lost 400 in a night, as I did yesterday? — PolitiTweet.org

1/2.@edwardlucas Not at present, as it is a few weeks since anyone reported this happening, and I don’t keep records, but the next time anyone informs me it has happened to them I will pass it on to you. — PolitiTweet.org
