Doctors and nurses work tirelessly to keep the victims of covid alive. Peter Hitchens sits back in the safety of his cocoon to spread disinformation from his bunker to keep the dangerous delusions of the gullible and credulous alive
@ClarkeMicah
Errr well... most aren't contagious. And why does Peter Hitchens assume everyone who died *with* flu also died *because* of it. But with covid he questions the cause, preferring to blame it on underlying conditions caused by un-godly and debauched lifestyle choices?
@ClarkeMicah
Hitchens wrong as ever. New Year celebrations in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland long pre-date the Soviet Union. Rational/tolerant Christians see it as a way of diverting wild celebrations/partying away from a more holy & reflective Christmas period
@ClarkeMicah
Peter Hitchens never fought against anything. He merely incited others to do so. They are the ones taking the risk and continuing the fight
@ClarkeMicah
Hitchens must've thought long & hard about how to admit he's had the jab (thus not losing his job with a national tabloid) without losing half of his supporters (anti-vaxxers). So he *pretends* he was somehow coerced into it when he could easily have refused had he any principles
@ClarkeMicah
@badidas1984
Peter Hitchens capitulated to the government's vaccine programme in order to keep his job with a pro-jab newspaper. Simple as that
@ClarkeMicah
This is the same Peter Hitchens who calls for authoritarian measures to Prohibit cannabis, restrict the purchase of alcohol, close down Sundays, outlaw fireworks, ban New Year's Eve and crowd the streets with 'proactive' police officers badgering everyone with an 'ello ello ello'
@ClarkeMicah
I'm not sure Peter Hitchens understands what giving blood is all about. It's not about looking virtuous in the eyes of god and all of his credulous Twitter disciples. Giving blood is about saving lives, not spreading a virus that is deadly some, especially those requiring blood
@Credula11
@ClarkeMicah
Haha! Charlatan Hitchens spent the month prior to invasion casting doubt on Western intelligence and claiming Putin would only invade Ukraine if he were mad (in which case Putin would not need an excuse to do crazy things)
@ClarkeMicah
@MichaelRosenYes
Indeed not. Peter Hitchens' father *worked* for an empire that murdered millions by starvation and brutality and was revered by Hitler (his favourite movie being Lives of a Bengal Lancer)
@ClarkeMicah
Peter Hitchens supported the 'freedom' of bigoted Christian cake makers to refuse to serve homosexuals. But Peter Hitchens demands this shop keeper serves maskless covidiots who might be spreading death. Peter 'arbitrary' Hitchens makes it up as he goes along
@ClarkeMicah
It's not just that Peter Hitchens took the vaccine (for the wrong reasons), it is that he claimed defeat on behalf of everyone who opposes government covid policy, even denying the existence of many of those who are actually doing something, for example -
@ClarkeMicah
Note to the Daily Mail & General Trust. One of your columnists is knowingly lying. Peter Hitchens is entitled to hold an opinion, but not when he contradicts himself for spurious ideological reasons (eg an attempt to shift attention away from Lineker's criticism of Tory policy)
@ClarkeMicah
@brakey7
Yes. Peter Hitchens has no idea, not being an expert. And yet he feels entirely qualified to dismiss expert opinion that is inconvenient to his ideological prejudice. And being an arch-monarchist, will Pedro be following Her Britannic Majesty's example?
@ClarkeMicah
But when Hitchens is presented with reams of evidence the force field of prejudice surrounding his skull repels it. It would be nice if PH provided evidence (rather than anecdote) of his own rather than referring to the opinion of dubious experts that he doesn't understand
@ClarkeMicah
Meanwhile, Hitchensgrad politburo propaganda is once again exposed for the lies it is
BBC News - Marianna Vyshemirsky: 'My picture was used to spread lies about the war'
@ClarkeMicah
One...last...time. A positive test result indicates an infection. Ergo, being infected causes a positive test result.
Only in totalitarian Hitchensgrad is science/language redefined to suit the narrative of the supreme ruler; not that Chancellor Hitchens would allow testing
@ClarkeMicah
Here's the point about belief in god. The moment you *think* about it,you see how absurd it is. If anyone proposed it now, the majority would laugh. Used to be the status quo, when the unthinking automatically sided with it. In this and so many subjects, thought was unpopular
@ClarkeMicah
This isn't some harmless theoretical debate on quantum entanglement. There is a contagious & potentially deadly pandemic, and Hitchens isn't just arguing against the wisdom of lockdown, he is denying the seriousness of covid. Dissent can be good (EG suffragette's). Not over covid
@ClarkeMicah
Hitchens just doesn't get it. People could go to work/school and 99% might get ill and recover, or show no symptoms. But they will pass on COVID-19 to the elderly/the ill, many of whom *WILL* die. Amazed someone so 'morally' opposed to assisted dying should approve of a mass cull
@ClarkeMicah
@GoingMedieval
Churchill and Roosevelt collaborated with Stalin too. It's called realpolitik. Putinite Pete is this year's winner of the gutter rag hack version of the Razzies. There was no competition
@ClarkeMicah
@CountDankulaTV
Peter Hitchens could dig for England. Hitchens lied about Mark Meechan being a neo-Nazi. That is the point. And in doing so Hitchens has managed to besmirch dog owners and people with tattoos everywhere. The irony is it is Hitchens who is inventing neo-Nazis that don't exist
@ClarkeMicah
To most people who don't have the choice to work from home, but must go to work at 8 in the morning without being able to appreciate the song thrush heralding the dawn. Hitchens does not speak for the majority of workers who really appreciate that extra hour of light at day's end
@ClarkeMicah
Whereas in Hitchensgrad infection rates would not be published at all. The state tried similar denial-tactics in Brazil before they followed Peter Hitchens' lead and got vaccinated
BBC News - Brazil Covid: Deaths plunge after town's adults vaccinated
While Peter Hitchens spouts Kremlin propaganda and war crimes-denialism from the Oxford Borough of Hitchensgrad,
@johnsweeneyroar
reports on reality from Ukraine. I won't reproduce the horrific pictures here. Just go to his feed and support a real journalist who shames Hitchens
@ClarkeMicah
This should be all about immigration policy, but Hitchens is deliberately trying to distract attention away from the valid point Lineker was making. Gary's only mistake was to compare Tory immigration policy with the Nazis. He should have chosen the 1930s Daily Mail
@ClarkeMicah
@InCytometry
In Hitchensgrad, opinion becomes fact, and fact opinion. It is great to see a cloud of derision and incredulity now surrounds every idiotic view Hitchens posts on Twitter. 'Prescription drugs should have no serious side effects' is right up there with 'smallpox isn't a virus'
@ClarkeMicah
It is the fact Hitchens (writing for a pro-jab paper) never mentioned the vaccine that made his opposition to masks and social distancing so meaningless and disingenuous. In reality, having the jab is a far greater symbol of conformity and subservience to gov than wearing a mask
@ClarkeMicah
*****MARCH 2020*****
WHO:'โThere is no specific evidence to suggest that the wearing of masks by the mass population has any potential benefit.'
@ClarkeMicah
Let's face it, if Russia were invading France, Putinite Pete would be claiming our neighbour was a Marxist state with a population full of communist and neo-Nazi extremists, and a nation, culture and people that had nothing to do with 'us'
@ClarkeMicah
Hitchens expects to have complete freedom on Twitter to say what he likes, whilst hypocritically policing, censoring, redacting, and micromanaging his blog to 1) make it appear he has more support than he actually has, and 2) dishonestly making it appear he values open debate
@ClarkeMicah
No-one is disputing it now. But it is Peter Hitchens who is denying what happened to socialists and communists as Hitler's power increased. Same thing happened to homosexuals. Now, it is time for the Daily Mail and General Trust to prevent Hitchens from spouting Goebbelsian lies
@ClarkeMicah
'Hated' is Hitchensgrad newspeak for 'seen as wrong, dishonest and misguided by the rational majority.' Comrade Pyotr may want to nationalise the entire private sector creating monolithic state monopolies, but without a trade union in sight. Don't be fooled by this uber-Marxist
@ClarkeMicah
@a_webb
Peter Hitchens has decided its all over. Covid deniers and anti-vaxxers must now go home and accept defeat, just so Peter Hitchens can jet off to the sun
@ClarkeMicah
@MatthewStadlen
As always with the deeply-prejudiced Hitchens, it is *who* is saying it, not *what* is being said that matters. Cocooned in his middle-class bubble, the covid unbeliever Hitchens can incite dissent, safe from the dangers NHS, care and low paid workers have to face every day
@ClarkeMicah
Whatever the faults of the Iraq invasion (and they were legion), the intention was regime change via intervention. With Ukraine, the West is giving support to a sovereign democracy. Whereas Putin invaded for imperial gain (which is the lesser wrong of the three in Hitchensgrad)
@ClarkeMicah
Shop workers aren't usually within a high risk category. But Mister Hitchens is infamous for asking the wrong questions. Interesting to note. Those most extreme in claiming face masks are an attack on their freedoms are most keen to restict the freedoms of everyone else (eg LGBT)
@ClarkeMicah
@MailOnline
Doesn't it strike Peter Hitchens as very odd that the only people he ever defends or has anything nice to say about *are* the 'nasty ones'?
@ClarkeMicah
@HieronymusScott
To Peter Hitchens, opposing the government over covid was just a game. To most of his followers, it is a genuine cause. Hitchens can no longer take a credible part in the cause
@ClarkeMicah
@LeadenPall
@MichaelRosenYes
I'm not sure why Mister Hitchens is so hung up on Gary Lineker. Whatever Mr Lineker's meaning or intentions, the parallels between the Tory govt's intentions to resettle channel migrants to Rwanda and Nazi resettlement policy in 1930s (not 40s) Germany are clear
@ClarkeMicah
I've no wish to ban the Daily Mail. We need a self-parodying little-Englander publication to undermine Christian conservatism. But it must be defunded. Let's build a new Daily Mail and General Trust without the traitorous anti-British Putin apologists
@ClarkeMicah
@michaelgove
@piersmorgan
As with Julian Assange, Peter Hitchens (claims) to hate Donald Trump the man in order to hide the fact he agrees with almost every substantial policy ideal Trump has ever uttered... including covid-denial and ideological hatred of *seeing others* in masks
@ClarkeMicah
@wallaceme
When Peter Hitchens lost the vote at the end of a debate on relaxing cannabis Prohibition, Putin Puppet Pete claimed, 'I may have lost the vote, but I won the argument'. This rotten traitor does not belong in the modern UK. Here's where he'll be most at home...
@ClarkeMicah
In Hitchensgrad, morphine is Prohibited because of its dangerous side effects. Far better thousands of terminally ill patients (denied the choice of assisted suicide) suffer months of agony so as to set the right example to the rest of society (and suffering always pleases god)
@ClarkeMicah
But that isn't Mister Peter's primary purpose for opposing cannabis. The tunnel-visioned cherry-picked anecdotes are chosen to camouflage a puritanical moral hatred of people getting high or doing things that he personally does not like or does not interest him. Classic Mail hack
@ClarkeMicah
Peter Hitchens is now turning the NHS and its doctors, nurses & support staff into the enemy, thus inciting the spread of death. This monstrous alt-right demagogue must be silenced in the same way as Donald Trump has been marginalized for inciting violence
@ClarkeMicah
Hitchens opposes people contacting the police to inform on other people recklessly flouting the social distancing laws and risking the lives of others, but supports stool pigeons snitching on their neighbours when it comes to imbibing a naturally-occuring herb in one's own home
@ClarkeMicah
@maggiewillrise
Putinist Pete - "Iโve never argued that Putin should be rewarded"
The immediate ceasefire Haw-Haw Hitchens demands would indeed reward Putin with large swathes of Ukrainian territory
@ClarkeMicah
@piersmorgan
For an alleged Christian, Peter Hitchens sure 'despises' a whole load of people, including those on the alt-right who are his ideological bedfellows. By Pedro's logic, an umbrella works during the Indian monsoon, but is absolutely useless on a rainy day in London
@ClarkeMicah
@EveSimmns
@BarneyCalman
Those who think marijuana legalization will be a good thing should watch this excellent Hitchensgrad politburo public information broadcast (also available in colour with subtitles and commentary by Hitchensgrad Supreme Leader Putin Puppet Pete)
@ClarkeMicah
Golly gosh, what a coincidence! The KKK โcrossโ symbol 100 years ago in London, Ontario, now seen in England's Christian places of worship
@ClarkeMicah
@SandraWeeden
When someone who writes for a national newspaper accepts the vaccine, it equates to a 100% endorsement of government covid policy, no matter how much Peter Hitchens tries to dress up his capitulation to Boris and Matt
@ClarkeMicah
@KeirGiles
Rather than pay to listen to Haw-Haw Hitchens, it would be simpler to make a donation directly to Putin's war effort. Besides, every argument Putinist Pete puts forward can be found in Russia's state media foc. Here's a taster of Moscow's Oxford correspondent
@ClarkeMicah
Hitchens hates modern/liberal/secular Western society. Therefore, being a misanthropic reality-denying clockwork-contrarian comes naturally. It is also the only way he can vent his frustration at a democratic capitalist and diverse culture in which hardly anyone shares his views
@ClarkeMicah
@MichaelRosenYes
Has it not occurred to Peter Hitchens that it is the 'utopian measures deployed against covid' that have helped prevent this pandemic from being a far bigger killer than it has thus far?
@ClarkeMicah
As if. Peter Hitchens couldn't wait for the slightest excuse to capitalise on Matthew Perry's death. But it has completely backfired. Dozens more people have learned who Peter Hitchens isn't
@ClarkeMicah
@DR0481
The debate was between the hard right Hitchens and the slightly less right wing Hodges on a very right wing radio station listened to by a range of right-wing, conservative and oddball libertarians. Boris Johnson's bowel movements are of more importance than who won the debate
@ClarkeMicah
Only the other day, Peter 'hypocrisy' Hitchens ranted at a bemused Alex O'Connor "I'm bored with talking about drugs". Yet here he is promoting his own 'weedy' pamphlet and expecting everyone to swallow his propaganda without being challenged by evil Marxist 'druggies' like...
@ClarkeMicah
Hitchens simply has a moral hatred of people getting high. All of the 'concerns' about the health consequences of drug use are a deception to camouflage his moral outrage. Therefore, Pedro is being very dishonest about (1) his motives, and (2) his reefer madness arguments
@ClarkeMicah
@KennethJolivet
Attempt to see through the Hitchensian smokescreen. Main reason Hitchens took the jab is to preserve his job with the pro-jab/Tory Mail on Sunday, a paper that shames those who refuse the vaccine, as evidenced on its front page, whilst thinking he could keep his 'maverick' status
@ClarkeMicah
@jdportes
Hitchens lives in a fantasy world of Edwardian make believe. What he wants to see is 80% of the population trapped in aircraft hangars manufacturing match boxes and filament lightbulbs, while the 'better people' dictate policy from opinion columns. Anything less is a 'collapse'
@ClarkeMicah
Please attempt to see through the Hitchensian smokescreen. The only reason Peter Hitchens took the jab is to preserve his job with the pro-jab Mail on Sunday, a newspaper that shames those who refuse the vaccine (as evidenced on yesterday's front page)
@ClarkeMicah
Oh you poor deluded fool. Who does 'Mr Hitchens' think he is kidding? Pedro seems to be confusing 'germs' with 'Germans'. The measures to combat a communicable disease are completely different to a wartime footing when social contact in factories and pubs was essential
@ClarkeMicah
@CountDankulaTV
He means it's as daft as calling John Cleese a neo-Nazi for taking the piss. Mark Meechan should sue the Mail on Sunday for defamation. And Peter Hitchens himself should be arrested as a traitor
@ClarkeMicah
@CorrectingO
Had to happen. Hitchens applies his infamous parenthesis touch to the word 'pandemic' as if to airbrush it out of existence along with 'dyslexia', 'addiction', 'evolution', 'Tony' Blair, 'Boris' Johnson, 'Sir' Richard Branson. As the Americans say, Pedro's as nutty as a fruitcake
@ClarkeMicah
@PunkOpaque
Peter Hitchens - "I am uninterested in *opinions*" says the opinion columnist who excuses his 'misleading' misinterpretation of the Danmask study by characterizing it as an 'opinion'
@ClarkeMicah
@deb_cohen
Strange thing about conspiracy theorists like Mister Hitchens, is the bizarre mixture of paranoia coupled with naivety that fuels their insanity. When they discover that governments may not always be entirely honest about their actions and motives, it's as if the sky has fallen
@ClarkeMicah
This article does nothing to support Peter Hitchens' denial of reality. 99.99% of scientists agree that left unchecked there would be a huge spike in coronavirus cases that would overwhelm the health service resulting in the additional deaths of many people with other conditions
@ClarkeMicah
So what? Does Comrade Pyotr expect the people of the Western world to rise up against their governments because the US supports those Ukrainians who oppose Russian dominance? And since when has Putin Puppet Pete recognized international institutions and law?
@ClarkeMicah
@VoxPolitical
Peter Hitchens is a dishonest coward. He will write an article that clearly implies something. But when challenged he squirms 'I never said that'. Haw-Haw Hitchens has done this a hundred times before
@ClarkeMicah
@CountDankula
Making a technical error on Twitter is a bit different to falsely accusing someone of being a neo-Nazi in a national newspaper
@ClarkeMicah
Matthew speaks for most:โThe loss of Peterโs wonderful brother, the great [author] Christopher Hitchens, still reverberates โ an unmatched raconteur, writer, arguer, and bon vivant, and the world mourns Christopher still, more than a decade after his brutal death from cancer.โ
@ClarkeMicah
@ErolycM
Peter Hitchens wants to 'stop living humans being turned into corpses' by allowing Putin to 'turn Ukrainians into living corpses' (simply because Haw-Haw Hitchens does not want his cosy middle-class existence in uptown Oxford disturbed by the plight of mere 'foreigners')
@ClarkeMicah
Peter Hitchens has spent the last 20 years demanding a Stalinist state crackdown/restriction on everything from cannabis to Sunday trading and fireworks to swearing in public, but now his cosy little existence has become inconvenienced he pretends to be a champion of liberty
@ClarkeMicah
@miffythegamer
Promoting the same 'distilling power out of fear' conspiracy since failing (dismally) to become a Tory MP in 1999. Just watching RT News, which could just as easily be the anti-West Peter Hitchens show
