@coreysherrif. Let's revisit this remark after the Lying-in-State has begun in London. — PolitiTweet.org

.@hordealone, would you like to make that false accusation directly, using your own actual name? Or are you just another lardy poltroon, willing to wound but fearing to strike, bold only when hiding in your mother's basement and under a pseudonym? — PolitiTweet.org

Every blasted war enthusiast should be taken to see this picture. The joyous man in the middle of it with a flower in his rifle is the son of the artist, who died in the war. The sad grey-haired woman on the left is his mother. — PolitiTweet.org

This very moving painting hangs above the concourse in the Paris Est railway terminus. It shows soldiers on their way to die in August 1914, parting from their wives and children. https://t.co/OMn1sjGMbf — PolitiTweet.org

@zathripieleg. How can I possibly be explicit? I will not be setting the terms. AS it happens, my own ideal outcome would be a federal Ukraine on pre-2014 borders in which civic nationalism replaces ethnic nationalism and Russian speakers get a better deal. — PolitiTweet.org

That is the most beautiful piece of sarcasm I have seen for weeks, @sp_duckworth. — PolitiTweet.org

@rscowler. What are you talking about? — PolitiTweet.org

If they had had some eggs they would have been able to have had some ham and eggs, if they had had some ham @vabanquespieler. Actually we owe Germany's 1918 defeat to Trotsky. Fear of his Red Army caused the Germans to keep large formations in Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Also @chrisdyork it's mistaken to say I suggested Ukraine should 'sue for peace' or (as the Banderite war enthusiasts claim), that I called for 'capitulation'. My view has always been that there should be a negotiated peace, backed by the great and medium powers and the UN. — PolitiTweet.org

From the 46th Psalm, which we sang at Morning Prayer today - as well as ‘God Save the King’. https://t.co/YuMKRjO6yF — PolitiTweet.org

More Imperial German war propaganda, raising money for more https://t.co/rRKpuBGHlr of many fascinating exhibits in the excellent history museum in Strasbourg ( now in France, but under Berlin rule 1870-1918) https://t.co/YImUd2kGOJ — PolitiTweet.org

‘We’re beating them!’ German war propaganda from (judging by the tank) 1918. I love old war propaganda. It helps us to judge the modern equivalent. https://t.co/oAVO2a7eOE — PolitiTweet.org

@chrisdyork, and like all 'very simple' things, it's crude and lacks thought. Have you ever studied history, or indeed looked at contemporary media coverage of past wars? — PolitiTweet.org

That is pretty much what it says @AdbenmorrisB. — PolitiTweet.org

@Cathari53751411 There's always an *excuse*, but is it a reason? Imagine the harm such outfits would do to themselves by such disrespectful behaviour. — PolitiTweet.org

Yes, I was thinking of Lincoln, oof Robert Kennedy and of course of Winston Churchill. I was amazed when I heard this opportunity was not being taken — PolitiTweet.org

Well,quite. But asking questions of authority these days has become very difficult, especially if time is short. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you @the_canzuk_kid. I fear he would simply rather be able to claim that public pressure had made him do it. — PolitiTweet.org

@mccoistandy . Please tell me what these time constraints are. Even a slow train can travel from central Edinburgh to central London in six hours. What would be lost in comparison to what would be gained? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

I think it a great pity that the late Queen’s body will be flown from Edinburgh to London rather than conveyed on the Royal Train. Many thousands would line tracks and stations to see her pass. — PolitiTweet.org

@teubenw62956441 The survival of law and freedom in any country depends upon individuals continuing to support and defend them, just as arbitrary power is restrained when individuals govern themselves. This is what the Crown actually embodies. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Quite so. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Perhaps, .@jimmysecuk. I’d be the last to know. But maybe *you* are the one suffering, unawares, from some eclipse of the senses, as you use the defamatory and insulting word ‘lie’ without appearing to know what it means. — PolitiTweet.org
