2/2 .@noomie525257 I travelled a couple of years ago from Beaune to Avignon by non-TGV, via the loveky Rhonbe Valley Again, slow, infrequent. Not a patch on the 1970s service on the same line. — PolitiTweet.org

1/2 Which lines are you thinking of @noomie525257? The lines out of the Gare 'D'Austerlitz towards Toulouse have slow,infrequent services.From Montparnasse, Paris to Chartres is abt every two hours. From the Gare de l'Est towards Basel via Troyes is a shadow of what it once was. — PolitiTweet.org

.@18tintaweb. Travel on France's non-TGV or branch railway lines and they are sad and neglected. France is also a much larger landmass than GB, and super-fast trains make a real difference on long routes. We are smaller, and our distances shorter. — PolitiTweet.org

.@crimlawuk . Since you ask, Britain declared war in 1939 to defend the independence of Poland, which we had guaranteed (Poland ended the war in Stalin's empire after years of misery under Hitler), and to retain our status as a great power (which we lost). — PolitiTweet.org

If not for the rights of refugees, democracy and the rule of law, why did we fight WWII?

This interesting development underlines the need for the Foreign Office to rescind its oppressive and lawless sanctioning of Graham Phillips - punishment without trial or jury, in violation of our constitution. Graham Phillips: A correction https://t.co/DPC1Ms8HGi — PolitiTweet.org

Right, .@kipdipshipblip so you were in favour of the Iraq war, thought Blair was wonderful, voted Tory in 2010 and 2015 and support rail privatisation. I feel for you. — PolitiTweet.org

Here is my critique of .@dcsandbrook's recent sermon on Ukraine. Mr Sandbrook refuses to respond to it, and his friend .@holland_tom thinks this refusal to engage is amusing. This is the state of our History Industry. https://t.co/essuigE1tE — PolitiTweet.org
