But , @thickleyp, you say it is in the GCSE curriculum. Can I see it?

If you don’t withdraw this slander, I will block you, taytay . You have till 9.00 BST, tomorrow, Thursday.

Stick around.

taytay Peter Hitchens tonya what makes you think that? I think Peter Hitchens is reading the room and plausibly seeing a very worrying uncontested

.@boozenboard. 'If we had some eggs, we could have some ham and eggs. If we had some ham'. Or alternatively 'With a ladder and some glasses, you could see the Hackney Marshes, if it wasn't for the houses in betweeen (Chorus :'in between!' ).

A lie lasts forever.@doirehendrix But I noticed ALASTAIR CAMPBELL doing his outraged maiden aunt act about Tory dishonesty, and thought it might be worth reminding him of this episode. The broadcast itself is a nasty piece of Bolshevik-style agitprop. But the lie is astonishing.

.ALASTAIR CAMPBELL at one minute 8 seconds into this youtube.com/watch?v=vLf6lo… April 1997 Labour broadcast, the subtitle says the Tories will 'abolish the state pension'. This was quite untrue. I think you were quite near the top of Labour's election machine. Did you approve?

.ALASTAIR CAMPBELL What about Labour’s totally false claim, made in the ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ broadcast in 1997, that the Tories would abolish the Old Age Pension. Cleverly, it was done as a subtitle rather than spoken out loud. Did you approve?

I just don’t know anything about it and feeI I should admit it. I’m the same with the London Mayor. . @track7778. Would you rather I pretended??

.tonya whom have I ‘sold my soul’ and what do you think I have got for it? Ask yourself if I am in the habit of doing such things before making such an accusation. All I get out of this is a lot of stupid arguments with obtuse people. I could have sat it out. Why didn’t I?

.Matt. Then they need a different name for it. Bill of Rights is a list of restraints on government, not a series of abstractions allowing judges to make up the law.

.@thickleyp. DeepFake, surely? What is this from?

I completely agree Peter Hitchens

.@angl0phil. It is so simple. I am not proposing that anyone should vote *for* the Tories. They should vote *against* Labour in the way most likely to defeat Labour candidates in the seat where they live. In ur system a vcote for Reform will be a vote for Labour. Don't do that.

He changed because he needs to collect his gerontocracy pensions at the expense of the young of this nation so he can live in relative comfort & wail like some Boomer Denethor and demoralise others till the end of time. Society has progressed past the need for a Peter Hitchens.

Well, there you are then.

.@willflockley. No. I do not think Reform (except perhaps in Clacton) have any chance of capturing seats. In general, vote for whoever is most likley to defeat Labour, where you areif it is even a possibility). It's not complicated.

.@whambo99. Shifts in values are driven by shifts in power. Actually there are large parts of the world where the Blairite social agenda is still rejected.

.Cannabis Europa. You might mention that I shall be there (3.50 PM uesday25th) to oppose marijuana legalisation in debate with @tweeterreynolds. .

Lots of people. I mock those who deserve it. .@iancollins14373. I often mocked David Camewron, now Lord Slippery of Tripoli, because he also would maunder about a 'British Bill of Rights'.
