@awclarke4. The nomenklatura ceased to exist 30 years ago, round about the time I left Moscow. I do not know who might succeed Putin. Putin himself was a deeply obscure person until Yeltsin lifted him to prominence. — PolitiTweet.org

@KRavnkilde British media and politics are suppressing dissent, most especially the BBC, where critical views on the UK war policy are virtually unherd. It is perfectly possible to support the right of self-defence without arming combatants or prolonging conflict. . — PolitiTweet.org
Kristian Ravnkilde @KRavnkilde
@ClarkeMicah So who's "suppressing dissent"? And why is supporting the right to defend yourself "stoking conflict"?

.@Nusoulwarrior It is not in dispute that Russia is a despotism (many countries are, including close allies of the UK and USA) . What is in dispute is whether free debate on the Ukraine conflict is possible in countries generally assumed to be free. — PolitiTweet.org

I think you're right @mrandmrswheatl1. No 'airport style security' either. But in 1965 the British people were presumed innocent. Now they're presumed guilty, and so must be treated as if they will dissolve into a shoving mob and bring bombs into the presence of the late Queen. — PolitiTweet.org

Oh dear. Do you actually know any real history @matsnier, or just a Harry Potter version of September 1938? The biggest appeasers of modern times were Churchill and FDR at Yalta in 1945. — PolitiTweet.org

@perrybullock. No, there is no law requiring referenda for *any* purpose in Britain. I would expect a few vague clauses in the Labour and Lib Dem (and perhaps SNP) manifestoes will be enough. — PolitiTweet.org

@ClarkeMicah would a national referendum be required to abolish the House of Lords and change the way MPs are elected?

3/2 .@bears_beats_b_g I sense you are young and certain and arrogant, as I once was. Let me warn you that conscience is slow, relentless and disturbing, and that the things you will *never* regret, in the long years I hope lie ahead of you, are gentleness and consideration. — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 .@bears_beats_b_g . Peace talks will come. They always do. And when they do, those who did not press for them, and those who resisted them, will have on their consciences all those men, women and children who, in the meantime, died for a mistake. — PolitiTweet.org

1/2 Well, @bears_beats_b_g the United States, which is the main power seeking a long war, has to be persuaded. Britain, and the rest of the medium-sized European powers, are the only people who can do this. — PolitiTweet.org

That is just silly, .@matsnier. Serious Russian reverses will almost certainly lead to the replacement of Putin by somebody even worse. What do you think might happen then, and do you have a personal bunker in New Zealand? — PolitiTweet.org

@bears_beats_b_g. Sweetie, are you a bit thick? I am urging that they should take place. Obviously they are not happening at the moment. That is why I advocate them. There will eventually be peace talks. Why not get on with it, before yet more people become corpses or refugees? — PolitiTweet.org

@johnyellowmead. Chamberlain had no real choice, as Britain's 1930s rearmament had not been for a European war, but for defence of the Empire and the Home islands. When he chose instead to pursue war, we had no Army to speak of, apart from France's. And we know how that ended. — PolitiTweet.org
John Yellowmead @JohnYellowmead
@UKJimInLondon @ClarkeMicah The point is that Chamberlain *chose* appeasement, Churchill realised there was no alternative.
