I knew defending unpopular causes against conventional wisdom involved some conflict and misrepresentation.But nobody told me it would involve having to grapple with the invincible ignorance of @Louisemensch and @johnsweeneyliar.They don’t even notice when they lose an argument. — PolitiTweet.org

I didn’t @jprnyct . @louisemensch is auditioning for the job of chief prosecutor at the Show Trials, when they eventually happen. It is interesting that so many people have learned nothing from history. — PolitiTweet.org

@jcelisjones. Well, as we both know perfectly well that you cannot come up with any examples of these errors, it is you who are wrong, so may I suggest that, at the very least, you stop bothering me. — PolitiTweet.org

It is quite evident to anyone who was brought up in the previous system. There is plenty of information, but very little knowledge, just as there is a lot of building but not much architecture, and much writing but hardly any literature. — PolitiTweet.org

Yet @commentsopen, the British constitution got rid of the fool Edward VIII. The US constitution permitted the re-election for a second term of the absurd GW Bush. Also the British system, having undergone major reform, does not place anything like so much power in one person. — PolitiTweet.org

@LabourPatriot @ClarkeMicah Followed by 'Putin is far too much of a pragmatist to do anything so foolhardy'.

In any case @carnivalist2 , I made no predictions at that time. I was sceptical of the predictions of others, as were many people including President Zelensky. — PolitiTweet.org

Yes, .@labourpatriot. I remember President Zelensky taking that view and trying to calm such speculation. How could he of all people not have known better? I mean, since their Iraqi triumph over WMD we all believe what US intellgence claims. — PolitiTweet.org

Two things that seem to need restating. A lie is halfway round the world before the truth has got its boots on. And the first casualty of war is truth. Everyone used to know these maxims. The modern web generation appears not to know or understand them. — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 @madbabyedmor. They use the word because they dare not use specific, objectuve terms such as 'obsolete'. They would have to prove such a statement true, whereas 'antiquated' is subjective as well as pejorative. — PolitiTweet.org
Ed Karten 🏴☠️🇺🇦🍿🇨🇦 🕶🇵🇸🇶🇦🇾🇪🇬🇧🇳🇱🍿 @MadBabyEdmor
@DrManacles @ClarkeMicah And not a synonym of “old”, pejorative or not.
Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah
1/2 @madbabyedmor. What other *objective* meaning does it contain, apart from 'old' ? Salesmen and reformers are always saying old things are 'antiquated' when they mean that they want them replaced, to their own commercial or political advantage. — PolitiTweet.org

@scott4freedom. I defend constitutional monarchy all the time. I am just amused by the way Americans think their 18th-century monarchy is preferable to an advanced constitutional monarchy such as ours. — PolitiTweet.org

@ClarkeMicah @pawn_en_passant Why bring GW and Trump into this? Why not simply defend the monarchy?
Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah
What will I understand. @daiztoms? That the US Constitution is not a monarchical one, when it is? The powers of the US President are excessive, and Congress and the Supreme Court have spent 200 years trying to restrain them. — PolitiTweet.org
