CIA and Mossad and pedo elite are running some kind of sex trafficking entrapment blackmail ring out of Puerto Rico and caribbean islands. They are going to frame me with a laptop planted by my ex gf who was a spy. They will torture me to death.

I don’t care how you feel about it, Mr Benjamin. Isn’t this a bit grandiose for one so coarse? ‘Patrimony’, forsooth. https://t.co/T2dOWuO0vf

Mr Benjamin, there are many reasons why the enemies of conservative

Mr Benjamin, there are many reasons why the enemies of conservative, Christian and patriotic ways of life *have* won. I've written books about it. I thought it was beyond dispute that they *had* won long ago. I am amazed that you think that you are some sort of Hereward the Wake. https://t.co/nZcm7AjbHx

I assume nothing , Mr Benjamin. Stop pretending that I am expressing some sort of weird class prejudice

I assume nothing , Mr Benjamin. Stop pretending that I am expressing some sort of weird class prejudice, which I am not. I *know* what you said to a certain woman politician. So do you. No wonder you now seek to change the subject. https://t.co/VrEhDdYkUZ

That’s not the choice, Sardine, old bean. The coarse crudity of people such as you is one of the reasons Britain long ago sank beneath those waves.

That’s not the choice, Sardine, old bean. The coarse crudity of people such as you is one of the reasons Britain long ago sank beneath those waves. The idea that you are its defender is a stretch. https://t.co/wkDEt1Emz7

No danger of any such invitation, Sardine old chap. But what makes you think your crude crowd-pleasing helps to save a country(now alas no longer in existence) based upon restraint? https://t.co/zdP9qKE98C

It is my view that the last chance

1/2 .@mattchr83. It is my view that the last chance this country had to act against the cultural revolution was the 2010 election, when patriotic conservatives could and should have refused to endorse David Cameron's Blairite takeover of the Tory Party. https://t.co/WnWQPlqqnF

I do not know what you were doing at the time...

2/3 .@mattchr83. I do not know what you were doing at the time, but I made this case from my highly privileged position for several years before the election, with all the vigour I possessed. I sought help from apparent allies and it was invariably refused. https://t.co/WnWQPlqqnF

I tried to lead, Sardine, old chap

1/2 I tried to lead, Sardine, old chap, for several years before 2010, when real change was (in my view) just still possible. The people whose support i sought did not simply not follow me.They met my warnings with blank incmprehnsion and often actual hostility. https://t.co/2AYA1CfHPA

My problem was and is that what I sought to save was a law-governed Christian civilisation

2/2 My problem was and is that what I sought to save was a law-governed Christian civilisation, based on moral restraint. The crude weapons you are happy to use were and are not available to me. If you fight with such things, you may win a victory - but for what cause? https://t.co/2AYA1CfHPA

For years a giant cultural, moral, religious, social,economic & political battle raged all around you.

.@colinbottom. For years a giant cultural, moral, religious, social,economic & political battle raged all around you. The good side lost 12 years ago. Now you appear on the deserted field with your halberd and shout defiance at the victors.They're not there;they rule the country. https://t.co/gBxlO0VMTK

Oh. Sardine old chap, and what words have I put in your mouth? There is not much room there, given what it is already full of. https://t.co/2AYA1CgfF8

Oh, I thought your fantasy...

Oh, I thought your fantasy that you are the saviour of the country is pretty heavily implied in these words of yours for a few tweets back 'I love the idea that we'd rather watch England sink under the waves than use coarse language.' Happy to elaborate if you can't see it. https://t.co/kK1SHfQyR0

People start asking about the Sardine thing

.@johnhundeslit The 'Sardine' is a mockery of Mr Benjamin's grandiose chosen twitter handle 'Sargon of Akkad'.The coarseness refers to an episode in which Mr B used words I won't repeat here to a woman politician with whom he was having an argument. I'm sure you can find it. https://t.co/Ay2AcM14ec

The use of certain weapons and methods destroys the cause for which they are used.

No , .@sandwichbad, we are not. I'm amazed that in a society in which millions have read or watched the Lord of the Rings, so few understand its simple, timeless point. The use of certain weapons and methods destroys the cause for which they are used. https://t.co/SVB3YoQ5Ka https://t.co/Dtka8IgpNb

For not above the millionth time...

.@MattChr83 For not above the millionth time. I am not suggesting that young people leave this country to seek a better, or equivalnet society. I am suggesting they should get out of a failing state before it is too late to do so. https://t.co/9S2M2qDZpy

It has fallen

.@Jordan54941136 It has fallen, and will fall, further thn any other major modern civilisation. Too many believe Britain is in some way protected from catastrophe, that order and freedom will survive, that the currency will continue to hold value, etc, because it is Britain. https://t.co/y176bQ2zK5

You know nothing about me , Mr Benjamin.

You know nothing about me , Mr Benjamin. So how you can say 'Everything about you is posh', I do not know. Plenty of posh people are coarse. They are not opposites, or mutually exclusive, as you absurdly persist in trying to suggest. https://t.co/6Zu0TxqDlx

I'm just not that into you

I don't blame you, one could hardly go looking for wisdom in me from your position. However, I am looking for wisdom from you, and you met me with a barrage of hostility. I don't see how abandoning England is what we should do, even though the hour is dark.

Well, if you really think I'm so much wise

Well, if you really think I'm so much wiser, take it from me that a sincere and full public and private apology for your 'rape' remarks, made without reservation or condition, would make you a better and a wiser person and a more effective campaigner. https://t.co/mpsDk1SNyk

Harry

.@HarryLotusEater 1. a political opinion can't be equated with a public insult of Olympic coarseness. 2. I long ago (1975) resigned from the organisation in quetsion, and have publicly and fully regretted my past positions. This is not a parallel. I have addressed his points. https://t.co/oiFkO0BAhA

You two need to meet and talk. You have far more in common than this dispute indicates @ClarkeMicah @Sargon_of_Akkad and you should be on the same page. https://t.co/ft9ZA3toMk

Connor 1

.@con_tomlinson. Sigh For seven long years after 2003, I set out (in a national newspaper), explained and urged a solution, namely that patriotic conservatives should desert the Tory Party,help to destroy it &replace it. Sorry you didn't notice. You and about ten million others. https://t.co/f6RgKLdI7L
— Peter Hitchens (@ClarkeMicah) January 2, 2023

Connor 2

2/2 .@con_tomlinson For all I know you weren't born then, But in that case, shoudln't you have the anners to *check* before informing me that I never suggested a solution. https://t.co/f6RgKLdI7L
— Peter Hitchens (@ClarkeMicah) January 2, 2023

Connor 3

3/2 @con_tomlinson. I suggested it daily, I corresponded with readers, I argued with them on the telephone, I broadcast it, I made speeches, I wrote a book. It would have worked. And in 2010, everybody I'd tried to persuade voted for *David Cameron*. *That* is when I gave up. https://t.co/f6RgKLdI7L
— Peter Hitchens (@ClarkeMicah) January 2, 2023

Connor 4

4/2 .@con_tomlinson. You have no plan, no means of achieving whatever it is your hero urges. You think that a big mouth makes up for tiny fists, and that not understanding what is going on makes you braver than those who do. Do all those things if you like; just leave me alone. https://t.co/f6RgKLdaid
— Peter Hitchens (@ClarkeMicah) January 2, 2023

Connor 5

.@con_tomlinson But I didn't 'advocate for alternative parties' I advocated the active destruction of the Tory Party,when it could have been achieved, and when there was still time. Had it collapsed in 2010, as I urged, a proper new party could have been created. Now it can't be. https://t.co/zdeWTd6rUh
— Peter Hitchens (@ClarkeMicah) January 2, 2023

Conoor 6

.@manicguitarist. Then you are unperceptive. The whole conversation is based on the claim by members of Mr Benjamin's youth movement that I have betrayed a great cause by shameful surrender. That is quite a rude thing to think or say about anyone. https://t.co/tT3w9fvEN9
— Peter Hitchens (@ClarkeMicah) January 2, 2023

Connor 7

.@con_tomloinson You sound like a Trot with your 'the glimmers of populist hope we had were suffocated by the international hegemony reasserting itself'. For me, all I have is internal emigration. You already know what I think you can do. Why keep asking? https://t.co/xofX0oJjgq

But then Hitchens does tell us to flee?

.@leonrusse11. For the thousandth time. I am not urging them to better themselves, or maintain their existing condition . I am urging them to get out while they still can. To go away from here, not towards anything else. Sigh. https://t.co/hpuHIeQyMY
