.@shimla321. I said the Nazis were left-wing racists. As it happens, German Communists collaborated with the Nazis on occasion, and then there was famously the Nazi-Soviet Pact. Racial bigotry of various kinds is not unknown on the left. — PolitiTweet.org

2/3 .@aaronsbarge. You’ll also recall how Orwell had to flee for his life from the Spanish Communists. But my basic point is that killing other left-wing people dies not of itself show that you are not left-wing. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Yes @stephensbounds. You say that now. But when Stalin was in power he and the USSR were widely admired on the left, see especially the Webbs. The current general recognition of his evils is quite recent. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @politics_pussy: @ClarkeMicah @LouiseRawAuthor Stalin started a purge of German Communists 😐. Very left wing. https://t.co/4KZTnHs0p6 — PolitiTweet.org

.@gabrielmilland. Stalin was left wing. He built *lots* of concentration camps (how can you not know this?) . His only problem with refugees was with people tryng to get out. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Yes, .@cjsnowdon, I noted it with appreciation at the time. And now do so again. — PolitiTweet.org

Or perhaps the Britannica has become yet another fortress of conventional wisdom, as it struggles to survive in the age of Wikipedia, which is certainly such a fortress. Is the idea of a controversy entirely unknown to you? .@TammRehgallag — PolitiTweet.org

.@bickers1983. I am most interested. What is this 'depravity' of which you write? Which facts do I disregard? How have I 'warped history'? There's a lot of stuff here. — PolitiTweet.org

.@corrigan_barry. I doubt very much whether your sleep pattern is disrupted by the clocks returning, each autumn, to their truthful position. Why would it be? Nobody forces you tp get up later — PolitiTweet.org

.@henry_tilley, what have I forgotten to mention? — PolitiTweet.org

You obviously haven't read it, .@tencents, so here's another chance. What, in this article, is untrue? : https://t.co/jk2Sh2uRwI — PolitiTweet.org

You joined a mob, .@tencents77. You must be so proud, requiring as it does so much courage, intellect and character. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

What is, .@monty_dodge? Why? I bet you haven't a clue. Have you been robbed of your powers of communication, or did you just join a Twitter mob and expect to do without consequence? You must be so proud, doing that. — PolitiTweet.org

Hitler's general Heinz Guderian, and Stalin's man Kombrig Semyon Krivoshein enjoy a joke as they watch a joint Nazi-Soviet victory parade (over Poland) in Brest Litovsk, 1939. Gosh, don't they look happy together? https://t.co/AS5D2bz2w0 — PolitiTweet.org

Most people's minds boggle over time change and don't even know which way the clocks go until the night before. If you *do * know, you know that putting clocks forward to 'Daylight Saving Time' means weeks of pointless imposed jet lag . Abolish it. https://t.co/zwTC2uybnR — PolitiTweet.org

@DanielaNadj I got on very well with Tony Benn in his final years, owing to our joint love for English liberty. We accepted that we differed on many matters, but on that we were absolutely unshakable. I still treasure the time I visited him at his Holland Park house, — PolitiTweet.org

More intellectual heavies join the fray. — PolitiTweet.org

It's taken .@OscarJ43943261 *all day* to come up with this. And he's so proud of it, he exposes it to public view. The world is sometimes sadder than it first appears to be. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

And now the real heavyweights join the fight, dust-covered and blinking from hours in the library. Thanks so much, .@joehutch. You can't imagine how much I appreciate your help. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@HairyCooIII Do you think I say the Nazis were left-wing because I think that would make them *less bad*? My goodness, you are a teensy bit slow, aren't you? That is *your* problem, not mine. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

That's not about *football* , @ryanherman15. It is about the stupid violence which has so often accompanied it. — PolitiTweet.org

What do you recommend , @krishnannayar1? I think Kershaw's pretty unbeatable myself. But I'm always open to suggestions. — PolitiTweet.org

OK .@tjc1974, let's do it. Where is my article in error, and how? (Warning . You'll have to actually read it first, which I doubt very much that you have done). — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Dingbat prize to @queen_viper, who praises @fascinatorfun for attacking my article without having read it (I do nto use the argument she cites in the article, as you would also know if you had just read it ). You joined a mob. You must be so proud. — PolitiTweet.org
