.@ashleymjbonnett . That is an interesting career path you have taken. Can you tell us about your life as a Conservative gangster? The phrase creates many amusing pictures in my mind. What, for instance, do you wear? — PolitiTweet.org

@comradevlegasov @ClarkeMicah "yes i was a trotskyist, now I'm a Conservative. But I have always, and will always, be a gangster."

.@owniki. How did it do that? The process of NATO expansion is described here https://t.co/uQpbkVUyXx . What and when were the tensions which NATO membership reduced, and by what measurement? — PolitiTweet.org
James Owen @OwNiKl
@ClarkeMicah @JimFraserUk It may have deepened tensions in Russia. It reduced them in Baltics, Poland and the like.

.@evolutionplants. You are not *disagreeing* with my position. You are too ignorant to know where to begin to do that. You are defaming me as a 'helper' of Russia, a nasty smear designed to damage me. Imagine if I said (as I do not) that *you* were 'the CIA's little helper'. — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 @iwearahalo The word 'contrarian',as you doubtless know, is an insult, suggesting that I adopt positions to attract attention etc. Why would I do that? The great majority of well-paid and secure media commentators speak and write conventional wisdom. Silly boy. — PolitiTweet.org
Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah
1/2 What a stupid, ignorant thing to say, . @iwearahalo. I write books in the hope that people will read them. Non-fiction books are about as lucrative, measured on an hourly rate, as office cleaning. — PolitiTweet.org

@myChronomy @ClarkeMicah @JimFraserUk He has a book to flog soon so he needs to be edgy and contrarian.

.@cadmiumgrey. I first heard that joke from the late Sir Geoffrey Howe nearly 40 years ago. He was pretty round, and I always think that the famous Round had a CMG and must have been quite like Sir Geoffrey. — PolitiTweet.org

.@jimfraseruk. I am not an 'apologist for Russian imperialism'. But I think that if any country other than sainted, holy, perfect, free, democratic, uncorrupt Ukraine adopted language laws such as those that it operates,Western liberals would rightly deplore those rules. — PolitiTweet.org

@johnsemenowicz One thing wrong with it was that it was not, as you mistakenly state, a treaty and so not binding. Not that such things often bother major powers. Britain is famous for its guarantees. Ask an old Pole, or a very, very old Dane. — PolitiTweet.org

@beaumorello The article long predates Putin's appearance in Russian politics. The author is a profound expert on Russia who was the British ambassador in Moscow during the Gorbachev years. You should read the article instead of trying to twists its meaning to suit your opinions. — PolitiTweet.org
