No, @mcfarlbob, but the old layer of grizzled old scribblers who have been out in the world and have their own views has largely died out. Others will naturally fit in with the consensus. — PolitiTweet.org

@xpc518d. I have not said that current laws are 'unenforceable'. On the contrary, I repeatedly point out that Japan and S.Korea enforce such laws and we could too. I say that they are not *enforced* by absent, politically correct police. I am amazed that this is not clear to you. — PolitiTweet.org

From another of the arguments @simongwynn hasn't had with me. This was a reply to his assertions about the 2014 putsch. I've been aunbale to find any response from him. — PolitiTweet.org

One of the arguments .@simongwynn says he has not had with me. — PolitiTweet.org

@Philmitchellftw Thank you. In fact I advocated the Norway option long before the referendum. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Yes @simongwynn, he was worse. You just absurdly maintained that corruption in Ukraine (which you appear to attribute to Yanukovych alone, hilariously) justified its descent into lawlessness. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

I find it silly .@simongwynn. It really isn't painful. I also tend to find it among people who are losing arguments with me and are seeking an excuse to duck out of them. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

I tried to get @simongwynn to explain this extremely odd tweet. He made an excuse and left, so I have to assume he cannot. As I recall, there was much coverage in 2014 of the Pravy Sektor's involvement in the Kiev mob. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@simongwynn. I do it to everyone who engages me. It is the way I use twitter. It doesn't hurt you. Why then use it as an (unconvincing) excuse for ducking out of an argument you fear to lose? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

There is no other fella, @simongwynn, so I suspect you prefer prejudice to knowledge and so daren't argue, but continue to hold firm views. In which case, do you think you could block me? I am running very low on electrons. — PolitiTweet.org

.@paynenotes1 . How? When I was in Dunfermline and Rosyth on the last referendum day, I found strong and enthusiastic support for secession, among under-40s, much more scepticism from over-60s(think about it) . But absurd to pretend SNP does not have strong support. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@c0nmurph I still think the best book I've read in years is 'The Deluge' by Adam Tooze, a marvellous ground-breaking history of the real nature and outcome of World War One. Best read *after* Barbara Tuchman's account of how that stupid war began, ' The Guns of August' — PolitiTweet.org

@policy_uk. No, it s written with style and verve. If you want to know what impenetrable means, then try (for example ) Harold Macmillan's 1930s tract 'The Middle Way', or some of the Marxist stuff I used to plod through in my teens. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@simongwynn. I genuinely have no idea what you are talking about. I suspect you have the same prob, but as it is you doing the talking, it is more of a worry for you. Do you want to have another go? — PolitiTweet.org

.@christinehbroom I don't believe the question has been tested for some time.I was in Scotland during the last campaign (mainly in Fife) and have the impression that without Gordon Brown's intervention the vote would have gone in favour of secession the last time. — PolitiTweet.org

@simongwynn. You've shown no sign of it. I have factually demolished your absurd attempt to excuse the 2014 Kiev coup, and you have made no effort at rebuttal, nor have you conceded your error. These are the invariable marks of an unserious timewaster. — PolitiTweet.org

@policy_uk. I did not mind the detail. In fact I craved it. It made the ideas come to life, when you saw how he approached them in practice. It is also merciless in its setting out of his flaws and misdeeds, as a good biography must be. — PolitiTweet.org
