What stuff @mikeaaronhall ? How? You can't just *say* this sort of thing. You have to demonstrate it with referenced facts. — PolitiTweet.org

Does he ? I wouldn't know, @evolutionplants. It is of little help to him in this country, if so.And it is in this country that he has been lawlessly subjected to arbitrary punishment,without charge, trial or conviction. Free speech applies most of all to those you disagree with. — PolitiTweet.org

.@mikeaaronhall. I have been falsely accused many times, by people who cannot bear to see the expression of an opinion they dislike - but prefer smearing me to engaging in grown-up debate. I do not ask people to believe what I say. I rely on checkable, cited sources. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Never @maria_drutska. Were you hoping to offer me some instruction in this activity, as you plainly have *no* knowledge of recent European history? Thanks, but I'd rather stick to discussing the issue with people who know about it, and don't let prejudice cloud their perception. — PolitiTweet.org

Big Dope's claim that marijuana legalisation would end the illegal trade was always false, but now it is demonstrably false. Correct anyone who claims this now: 'The dark reality of legal weed in California' https://t.co/YEFNnVmy1b — PolitiTweet.org

@shaun_hutchings. I thought her behaviour was ridiculous, and I still do. If people go into public politics, they can expect a certain amount of mockery. Remember she later actually became a Tory MP. — PolitiTweet.org

Yes, a whole chapter in my book’The Abolition of Britain’ examines the use of TV and radio soap operas to pursue cultural, social and moral revolution. It’s so blatant I’m amazed more people don’t see it. — PolitiTweet.org

No. @louisrmensch, I did not say that. You made it up., — PolitiTweet.org

@kerr649, @louisemensch has never forgiven me for a long-ago column item in which I laughed at the way she wandered in and out of New Labour back in the 1990s, when she was still writing chick-lit. I actually agreed to meet her to discuss it. — PolitiTweet.org

@mingthemercil5 That's a 'no' then. Now imagine trying to do it when all your assets have been frozen. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

2/2 @louisemensch. Far more significant is that you take the side of arbitrary state power against the rule of law and due process. What exactly is it, in that case, that you don't like about the sinister tyrant Putin, a great enthusiast for the use of just such arbitrary power? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

1/2 @louisemensch . You have plainly not bothered to read the actual sanction announcement, which cites Phillips as 'producing and publishing media content' as the reason for the sanctions - and are relying on second-hand accounts. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@louisemensch This story gives in direct quotation the reasons given by the fcdo for sanctions against Phillips. They are quite interesting: https://t.co/E2QXwsJgeu — PolitiTweet.org

I have considered it. I simply record Phillips’s defence, attributing it to Phillips. — PolitiTweet.org

@jimmysecuk, Indeed, and it is noticeable that some of them are ill-informed. For instance, they think that other people are not allowed to disagree with them, or even think that opinions with which they disagree can be called 'lies'. I like to help to educate such people. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@louisemensch . With *you* on his side he has little need of help from me,whereas Phillips lacks support against those who attack his freedom. Also Phillips says the interview was done with approval of @cossackgundi , and that others have since interviewed him. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@jimmysecuk . This must be one of the most pathetically feeble responses ever recorded on Twitter. No doubt you think you do not *like* my column, though I don’t expect you read it. But this is simply not evidence of the lying of which you accuse me. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

He's not in anything @cathsach4bikes, he has been sanctioned. But in fact the announcement of the sanctions does not say that. Easily checked . — PolitiTweet.org
