I could listen to him talk for hours 💯

@HitchensReal I’ve never heard that definition of an intellectual.
English
.@andrewbrophy3. 1/2 Usually it is a covert term of abuse, suggesting the person so named is abstruse, obscure, long-winded and tries to display superiority by using complex words.
Andrew Brophy@AndrewBrophy3
@HitchensReal What is an intellectual then ?
English
🚨AN APOLOGY
I said in my video that the team who are top of the league at the split will, ‘more often than not’, be given a home game in the final fixture.
I was WRONG.
It’s even worse than I thought.
In the last 16 seasons it has happened 15 times.
For season 25/26 it will read:
Top At Break - Hearts
Last Game - Away to Celtic
A disgrace.

@PaulDHeenan @ClarkeMicah @AndrewBrophy3 I was raised a devout Catholic, and my father has never missed a week of mass in his life from what I can tell, nor did my grandparents and so forth. But it all seems like one big in/out club to me. I'll doubt I'll ever return. Too many unanswered questions for me.

Catholic and Reformed is the generally-accepted designation. I have some Protestant tendencies, beyond doubt. Why do you care,.@andrewbrophy3?
Andrew Brophy@AndrewBrophy3
@ClarkeMicah You’re not a Protestant are you though ? Are you not an Anglican ?
English
Can't see how that follows, .@andrewbrophy3
Andrew Brophy@AndrewBrophy3
@HitchensReal @andrewbrophy Well , fair enough. If an intellectual in this society is to mean anything, then a frequent broadcaster, author, and commentator who speaks and writes critically of society is an intellectual no matter his protestations to the contrary. ( No pun intended).

This week, Chris and I take listeners to 1928, the heyday of the Weimar Republic. How golden were the Golden Twenties? How did the Nazis consolidate despite humiliating elections? How did ordinary people feel?

probably voted upon by people who never saw or can't remember the 1970 semi-final between Italy and West Germany ...

.@andrewbrophy. I may be public, but I am not an 'intellectual', as is evidenced by the fact that I couldn't care less about theology. I just couldn't. I am more interested in steam engines. I am a jobbing scribbler. You worship God as you wish, and I'll do the same.
Andrew Brophy@AndrewBrophy3
@ClarkeMicah Because you’re Peter Hitchens, you’re a public intellectual, I’ve read many things you’ve written, I’ve listened to you speak many times, I find you likeable and interesting. Surprised you’ve got Protestant tendencies. Do you tend towards Calvin ?

@to10186 @ClarkeMicah @TimGuile Why would I want to burn anyone at the stake ?
And the Oxford Martyrs were executed for praying in their own language were they ?
English
@AndrewBrophy3 @ClarkeMicah @TimGuile How did it "escalate"?
Peter Hitchens has often mentioned how he cycles past the Martyrs Memorial in Oxford.
To many protestants, it remains important to remember how people were tortured and executed for praying in their own language.
Can you not accept that?
English
.@timguile. I am not a Roman Catholic, for reasons I have many times publicly explained, so please don’t badger me in this sectarian way . I have attended mainstream RC services out of interest, and found them as banal as modernised C of E services. The Latin Mass, for different, does not appeal to me.
T J Guile@TimGuile
@ClarkeMicah @giles_fraser Or try a Catholic Church Peter? Lots to choose from in London with amazing history, architecture and wonderful people.
English
@to10186 @ClarkeMicah @TimGuile That escalated ! 😄
You can believe anything you like my friend. But faith, hope, and love are not time-limited.
And “ medieval” as a pejorative adjective is so passé, while the less said about “ hocus pocus “ the better.
English
@AndrewBrophy3 @ClarkeMicah @TimGuile Do you want to go back to burning people at the stake, as well, Andrew?
You're welcome to your medieval hocus pocus if it makes you happy, but just acknowledge that we've moved on a bit in the last 500 years and that other people are entitled to their own beliefs.
English
No, .@andrewbrophy3 I don’t , which is, oddly enough, the main reason I did not say that I thought so. I just prefer my prayers in ( good) English.
Andrew Brophy@AndrewBrophy3
@ClarkeMicah @TimGuile I’m sure you don’t mean to suggest that the Mass in Latin is banal Peter, do you ? What do you think of the Orthodox Divine Liturgy ?
English
@MhairiHunter Complacent or what ? When is the SNP going to act, and react, like a proper electoral political party ?
English
Always worth remembering that only 45% of Glasgow households have access to a car or van. Most of us living here don't drive. You would never know that listening to Labour politicians. They only care about motorists.
English
@GeorgeFoulkes “ a diddy underground”?
You really are a sad man George.
English
Also no rail link to Glasgow Airport, poor uncoordinated bus services, poor link between Central & Queen Street and a diddy Undergound while cities in Europe the same size are developing new tube and tram lines. Where is the vision for transport in SNP run Glasgow?
Pauline McNeill@pauline4glasgow
This is how the SNP view Glasgow they don’t see it as a metropolitan city strategic to the west of Scotland economy. Penalising drivers coming to the City would be damaging to it. Glasgow has already lost shoppers to Edinburgh. No Vision.
English
@GeorgeFoulkes What a perceptive analysis by a man who is right up to date with the modern political Zeitgeist. He was the Greta Thunberg of 1983
English
It's not difficult Paul.
They are no longer a real green party which is why Robin Harper left and they expelled other real greens.
They are a nationalist front to game the Holyrood electoral system & get a number of nationalist nutters on to support the SNP
Record Politics@Record_Politics
Anas Sarwar needs a plan to combat the Scottish Greens if he is to turnaround the election, says @PaulHutcheon dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

@MhairiHunter Is it not the other way around ? 45% don’t have access ?
English
@MhairiHunter @TeachInGlasgow @GetGlesgaMoving Of all the people you know who live on “ The Southside” , how many with children transport their children regularly on the “ very good” bus service ?
English
@TeachInGlasgow @GetGlesgaMoving It's patchy. Bus services are very good where I live in the southside but poor elsewhere I know. Hopefully franchising will resolve that.
