.@pc_angry. Easy to say that now, but the contemporary evidence clearly shows he was unconvinced.Please read : President Zelensky's doubts about intelligence claims of an approaching Russian Invasion a year ago https://t.co/sMaZEefVeG — PolitiTweet.org

Just after 11.00 AM on .@talkradio and .@talktv I hope to join .@iromg Mike Graham to discuss the unceasing crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Please explain why the asking of a question justifies this abuse. The real Tumnus was courteous, intelligent and had an independent mind. — PolitiTweet.org

2/2?.@andreaswirz2 Also,this is rather plainly not an opinion, let alone a claim of expertise. It is a request for information, more or less the opposite of a claim of knowledge.. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@andreaswirz2. Thank you . It was and is my job to question official ‘intelligence’ claims. A lot of people now claim to have known the invasion was certain. But only Putin knew that. Zelensky was among many who were unconvinced. — PolitiTweet.org

.@williamclouston .@ edwest . But how has it taken everyone so long? What good will it do now? Whereas the defeat of Cameron in 2010 would have given the country an actual chance. — PolitiTweet.org

Gosh . @chris1966 . Such faith! One of my many GPs misdiagnosed me so badly that I nearly had to undergo a needless operation, cancelled at the last moment by a proper doctor. Not by any means the only prob from that quarter. — PolitiTweet.org

Really . @TheSeventhSeal1? Perhaps he would have been a better version of himself. — PolitiTweet.org

.@w_poulos, I have to say that you are on to something here. I am still feeling guilty about it, but I did enjoy the passage about Christopher's 'unpopular opinions'. — PolitiTweet.org

10,000 have now watched this recent conversation between me and Robin Aitken, former BBC man, now scourge of the Corporation's bias. You may join them here: https://t.co/pkHIkBYA7u . There are quite a lot of interesting moments in it. — PolitiTweet.org

Why did this interesting survey become so hard to find in summer 2020 : https://t.co/60BjfFgL6I? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@mortibois No doubt (though the reasons given for such masks are quite different from those advanced for covid masks) . And is that a scientific view ? Take a look at this, which all but disappeared from the web in 2020: https://t.co/60BjfFgL6I — PolitiTweet.org

This thoughtful survey (now *very* hard to find) https://t.co/60BjfFgL6I on mask wearing in dental surgeries, is an interesting answer to those wh ask ( as they do) if masks don't work, why do socytors wear them in surgery. — PolitiTweet.org

I don't ignore it @barbatosalv, though the temptation to ignore *you* and your tedious obsessive pursuit of me is great. I said it some years ago when it was true. Now it isn't. When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do? — PolitiTweet.org

'It's so easy to take controversial positions in a country where opinion is so bland and conformist'. My conversation with BBC scourge Robin Aitken : https://t.co/pkHIkBYA7u — PolitiTweet.org

Robin Aitken to me 'You are one of the country's best-known cultural commentators' . Me 'Well, most-disliked, anyway' . From this conversation between me and the Scourge of the BBC: https://t.co/pkHIkBYA7u — PolitiTweet.org

.@realhumptyb. They do, though. Britain (nuclear-armed since 1952)was defeated by Nasser at Suez in 1956 and by a bunch of gangsters, cigarette smugglers and protection racketeers in Northern Ireland in 1998. And were Korea, Vietnam or Iraq victories for the USA? — PolitiTweet.org

Robert Kaganis enjoying a bit of a vogue at the moment, see https://t.co/NieGFANPMh . People of his faction were left pretty isolated by the Iraq war, but now they are influential again. Think on. — PolitiTweet.org

.@janinethechef1 . Much credit goes to @privateeyenews for pursuing it, and the Daily Mail took it up in strength. But, like so many things,it was based on an inability among many to believe that an *official* body could be totally wrong. This still happens, as we see. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@ianmulcahy3. Actually, the initial government propaganda, just after shop reopening , was *opposed* to mask wearing (I know because I kept some of it in printed form, and was amused to see that it later disappeared from the web) . There was a gap. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

3/3 .@watforddogs. But of course it wasn't (compared with, for example, Sweden). It clogged up the NHS rather than saving it, and wrecked the national economy. FYI, I did not vote to leave the EU, or take any part in the referendum campaign. I advocated the Norway option. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

2/3 .@watforddogs. next there is crude argument from authority: For you a high official *must* be right, and criticism or doubt (even if based on the work of dissenting experts) are automatically wrong. This might work if the UK response to Covid( had been a huge success. — PolitiTweet.org
