@louisebagshawe. Please do not tell lies about me. It is morally wrong. My Response to Allegations that I am an Apologist for Syria and the Assad State - updated and reinforced https://t.co/wKpRzEBRjr — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

More to the point @JoelKel26748550 I have a 20-year record of unmixed hostility to the Assad regime. My then MP actually had to correct another member in the Commons for making a cliam similar to the one made by @louisebagshawe. https://t.co/wKpRzEBRjr — PolitiTweet.org

@louisemensch. You have, once again, completely lost me. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@druemichael. Yes, my late brother was on the side of the poor oppressed minority that wanted to invade and bomb Iraq. We are related because we have the same parents. Is there anything else I can help you with? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@ericowensdc Can you give me a source for that Putin quotation? As for the abuse (and oh how tediously unoriginal it is) am I 'grossly inferior' because I did not support the Iraq invasion or because I did not believe in the existence of Saddam's WMD? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Louise Bagshawe, that real-life character form the World of Wodehouse, is back, as I live and breathe, though udner the less wonderful name of @louisemensch . When have I defended Mr Assad' s regime? Please give referenced direct quotation. (Silence falls around Bagshawe Towers). — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Ah. Most succinct @tbm48091 . But I have seen rival inerpretations. I take it you think the tedious apparatus of democracy, elections and so forth,should be dispensed with when you don't like the elected government? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@ukurbanite. Who denies it? Outsiders (not just Russia) have been meddling in Ukraine since independence in 1991. It's called 'civil society organisations' and 'people power' etc. E.g. https://t.co/96HTFMWZ4M — PolitiTweet.org

Yes, @xsovietnews but you are not me, and I am not you, and there we are. I am not sure which of us should be more relieved by that. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

What are they, @roblevo? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@tbm48091 Oh, and there was I thinking that Ukraine was a proud law-governed democracy which changed its governments by lawful election and observed its constitution. Obtuse of me, plainly. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@bobski0322 But a negotiated peace is not capitulation. The USA has more or less fought Russia to a standstill in Ukraine. I am concerned about the poor Ukrainians who are dying and being driven from their homes in this needless conflict. — PolitiTweet.org

@terrychristian Name me any senior figure at the BBC who is *not* left-wing. See https://t.co/QEpXOLyGEX What housing and education have to do with it, I have no idea. Many left-wingers are rich and attended private schools. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

This tweet from @johnsweeneyliar does not make sense. Why would this experience of 1991 have any bearing on my views on Ukraine now? Sweeney is just boasting about being under fire. — PolitiTweet.org

@curtainsilicon. I absolutely do not see why. Did you actually read what I wrote? I would add that war reporters describe, but cannot explain, and are indeed in a very bad position to try to do so. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

No, @theron_russell, it's a plain, accurate account of events without propaganda content. Zelensky campaigned and won on a peace ticket, honourably tried to implement it and was prevented by Poroshenko and the Banderites. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@CandidePeel I am indeed the most tremendous coward. I never seek to visit war zones, have only ever done so unintentionally, and hurry away from gunfire etc when I blunder into it. War and violent death are terrifying and horrible. Does this attitude make me in some way bad? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@DigitalFantazia I *think* this must be one of the stupidest tweets I have ever seen, and that is a stiff competition. 'Never been to Ukraine' and 'closet communist' are especially good. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Plenty of other people manage just fine @mattbrookes3. I suspect 'he's not engaging in good faith' is your way of saying you lost the exchange. BVettr luck next time. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

2/2 @Daniel91452575 Or of course his opponents in Ukraine could adopt that country's alternative method of removing a lawfully-elected President, a violent mob putsch, backed by the USA and some oligarchs. If I were Zelensky, that's what I'd worry about. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

1/2 @Daniel91452575. He's the elected president, and his Constitutional authority comes from that election (in his case with an overwhelming 73% of the vote). Voters can chuck him out at the next election if they don't like what he then does. That is democracy. — PolitiTweet.org
