I have set up this back-up account .@HitchensReal , after experiencing weird problems with my main account .@ClarkeMicah. These problems resolved themselves but I thought I should be prepared. So here I am. As proof of authenticity, I have followed this account and no other.

.@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.

@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 ?

I did not say this. I said I failed to persuade Lord Gove that leaving the EU was a good policy. Hence my amazement and dismay when he popped up at the head of the 'Leave' campaign . One of many reasons why I took no part in the campaign and did not vote.

@TrishHodkinson Peter Hitchens who he said persuaded Gove to the leave side recently said on BBC any questions that he always wanted to stay in the single market and still did. How many of the 17m wanted more than Starmer is now trying to negotiate?

"Separately, at least one other journalist, @ClarkeMicah has recently reported their own disputes with Cheshire Constabulary over access to Letby-related material." See here: dailymail.co.uk/debate/article…

Wistful @ClarkeMicah piece on the ridiculously delayed repoening of the Oxford - Cambridge railway line, which even Dr Beeching wanted to keep open but Harold Wilson closed anyway. dailymail.co.uk/debate/article…

.@nrorman . No. I said I had *failed* to persuade Lord Gove to favour leaving the EU . Hence my surprise when he became one of the leaders of the Leave campaign.

In 1931 the future Archbishop William Temple told worshippers to read the words of the last verse of this hymn, silently and then ‘if you mean the words even a little,and want to mean them more, sing them very softly’ . The whole congregation of 2,000 whispered that last verse.

No. And it is not a necessary part of the 'infrastructure of modern life';. It is an artificial imposition introduced in undebated panic in time of war, and not since considered . I only ask you to consider it .@123db_geek.
Norm D Plum@123db_GEEK

@HitchensReal So are you saying your account has been hijacked and you really are not as petty about daylight saving? It's just a part of the infrastructure of modern life. Take the daylight nobody uses in the morning and give it to all in the evening. It's not a big deal.

.@kynohy . I learned this by heart when I was about 11. My twentieth birthday then seemed impossibly distant. Now I cannot say it, as, of my threescore years and ten, seventy will not come again.

@123d_geek. How has it 'convinced' you of that? Please explain, using facts and reason.
Norm D Plum@123db_GEEK

@ClarkeMicah This thread has convinced me you really are an idiot who needs attention. What is wrong with this country that this is the quality of our media commentators?

@GBNEWS “The police cannot unburgle you. They cannot unmug you. They cannot unstab you. A policeman after a crime is not much use.” @ClarkeMicah has been warning the role of police officer has gone from preventing crime to being a “paramilitary social worker”. x.com/ClarkeMicah/st…
Peter Hitchens@ClarkeMicah

I have been saying this about the politicisation of the police ( and their withdrawal from their proper tasks) for so many decades that I am weary of it. Why has the supposed 'right' in this country taken so long to grasp that it is so?
