Having a slow day @shaun_hutchings? I said nothing about a time limit. I was just drawing attention to the fact that @snickypoo49 had sent an indentikit response to my tweet about Lincolnshire Police, about two days after all the other identikit tweets I got on this subject. — PolitiTweet.org

.@snickypoo49. You mistake my point. Tweet what you like. But your claim to have just commented totally by accident on a tweet by a person you admit you'd never heard of is comically implausible. Likewise, you don't *have* to explain. We can all guess. — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 'President Bush proclaimed in Kiev : ‘Americans will not support those who seek independence in order to replace a far-off tyranny with a local despotism. They will not aid those who promote a suicidal nationalism based upon ethnic hatred’. https://t.co/WHUbsobGua — PolitiTweet.org

'Crimeans gathered almost 250,000 signatures which were technically enough to force a vote on their future. But they were told to shut up and behave by the newly-enthroned nationalist government in Kiev.' https://t.co/WHUbsosJwa — PolitiTweet.org

'On June 9 1990, Margaret Thatcher briskly batted away a question about opening a British embassy in Kiev. This, she explained, was as likely as Britain opening an embassy in California or Quebec.' https://t.co/WHUbsosJwa — PolitiTweet.org

'I used to wonder how educated human beings got us into the World War One disaster in 1914 Not any more. In the last 30 years or so, I have stopped wondering, and instead taken to worrying what idiotic thing they will do next.' https://t.co/WHUbsosJwa — PolitiTweet.org

'The idea that Russian dislike of Ukraine’s frontiers began with Vladimir Putin is simply not true. Two days after Ukraine’s walkout from the USSR, the then Russian President Boris Yeltsin complained about its borders.' .https://t.co/WHUbsobGua — PolitiTweet.org

Then what is it @snickypoo49. You must surely have come across the idea of a false choice at some point in your education. And again, why are you posting comments on the timeline of someone you not only don’t follow, but admit you have never heard of? — PolitiTweet.org

We are learning lots about you @snickypoo49 . : You are no good at logic, and you can’t explain why you have suddenly started commenting on the tweets of a person you admit you have never heard of. — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 @snickypoo49 what do you mean you ‘came across it’ today? Just like that, you just found a tweet I’d posted days ago? What would bring that about? Oh, yes, pure chance . Do not be silly. It is irritating. — PolitiTweet.org

False choice. There are many other positions between these two. It is not called ‘community policing’ and if it were, so what? Btw, you were supposed to post this tweet on Monday. Read the message properly next time. — PolitiTweet.org

The article is about 1991 @diykitepoche. It is hardly surprising that it has little to say about a man who was of no importance at the time. Are you able to think, or is your mind a binary good/bad switchboard? — PolitiTweet.org
