@dorisjohnson The expression ' doing heavy lifting' has crept into many discussions where it does not belong, a bit like 'rolling out' and 'going forward'. You could say it was itself doing an obscene amount of heavy lifting. Could you put your objections in a less cliched way? — PolitiTweet.org

DorisJohnson @jorisbohnson

@admcollingwood @ClarkeMicah ‘The same basis’ is doing an obscene amount of heavy lifting here.

I have not expressed any doubts @gallagherkb1 . I have merely asked for confirmatory details of your very serious allegations against your teachers. Why do you think I doubt you? — PolitiTweet.org

Kevin Gallagher @gallagherkb1

@ClarkeMicah I wouldn't doubt for a minute your account of your education.... Why do you doubt mine?

It is very strange that the BBC thinks that a BBC news presenter is the ideal choice as chairman of 'University Challenge'.,Jeremy Paxman did not get the job because he was a BBC presenter. But BBC politics seems to have swallowed up almost every other aspect of life. — PolitiTweet.org

@tomstanners1 . Was it speculative? It did not strike me that way. But your failure to supply the time and place details I asked for is not encouraging either. I doubt you are my adversary, but I did not think you were tweeting in support of my view on marijuana. — PolitiTweet.org

Indeed @admcollingwood. Britain's 'interest' in this war is to be the fifth wheel in the USA's cart, as in Iraq and Afghanistan. Yet people who objected to UK involvement in those wars fervently support this one. It is fascinating to wonder how this has been achieved. — PolitiTweet.org

Perhaps you could point to the problems @JoshuaJohnLand2 . I agree that it is very hard to check your own typescript, and that as a result my blog has plenty of errors. But if you seek to be helpful, you need to say where they are. — PolitiTweet.org

@gallagherkb1. What was the name of the school? Where was it? In what way did the teachers treat you 'like failures' and how did they they 'ram this home'? . Can you at least provide the initials of those who did this and the dates between which it took place? — PolitiTweet.org

@robvertrcars. This stuff does make me laugh. Half the history of England is to do with London's constant pre-1603 efforts to keep Scotland (and Ireland) from forming alliances with the French etc. It is so not new. And we did it too. — PolitiTweet.org

@slstrm_dsgn It is vital to be conscious just how deep ignorance is, and how strong groupthink is, on this issue. By engaging with people in the grip of these things, I keep my own perceptions sharp and may help them out of the slough of despond into which they have sunk. — PolitiTweet.org

@gallagherkb1 . The state should prefer merit and talent to wealth. And it , and the country it rules, will benefit greatly by advancing talent and merit rather than by the current policy of confirming the power and status of wealth - which it follows now with your support. — PolitiTweet.org
