The Irrepressible Peter Hitchens Is on Fire and Slapping Covid Bed-Wetters Silly

Editor’s note: I know I’m not getting anywhere near the bootlicking cesspool that is Twitter but Hitchens is a braver man than I:

Memory fades, but I think even the Greek colonels allowed *three* people to gather together without being rounded up.

Al Johnson's brilliant plan: like a doctor treating a pneumonia victim by amputating his leg. AS a result, the man has one leg, and still has pneumonia. When the sufferer eventually recovers from pneumonia, Johnson will say he has cured him. But he will still only have one leg.

Is this now a banana republic or a comic-opera police state? The combination of ridiculous and sinister is rare even in Latin America. Al Johnson should grow a droopy black moustache and get a pair of shades, for the evening when he announces his next set of bans. Heil Spode!

Do people not realise the meaning and origin of the word 'lockdown'. It is the confinement in their cells of convicts in an American prison. This is a country, not a prison, and we are not convicts. And this action is misguided and mistaken, Please watch https://t.co/Q9FmTDybID

Well, quite. When the opposition is actually urging the government to be more repressive, we're well on the way to East Germany. Erich Honecker, you must be cackling in your tomb. If *you* had confined your people to their homes, you'd never have heard the last of it . https://t.co/7ckvBjtjYj

Clown puts country under house arrest. Country doesn't care. So perishes one of the freest societies ever to exist in human history, amid giggles and bad science. And suckers who believe state propaganda. Govt has no idea what it is doing: https://t.co/Q9FmTDybID

I'm partly mocking Alexander Johnson's ridiculous, sinister government because I'm worried that tomorrow night he'll come on TV to tell me I am not allowed to mock the government. Unthinkable you say? How unthinkable was national house arrest a week ago?

So humiliating to have to confess to foreign admirers of British freedom that our liberties were suppressed by a clown, and the British people rolled over and accepted it. Lots of national songs now need to be rewritten.

Of course, "@shelaghfinlay *I* would never care for the vulnerable. Only nice people like you, who accept having your ancient liberties snatched away without so much as whimper, are the only people who care about the
vulnerable. (sarcasm warning here 🦄) https://t.co/5jAQYAEN2z

I cannot stop you becoming a serf, if that is what you want to be @manicmonkey5. I wish you joy of your new status. Some people enjoy being ordered about, as we know.But I'd be obliged if you would at least not try to tell me to be one. Here's something 👢 for you to lick. https://t.co/VDOD0j2eSU

Do you know, @degueldreknave, if that is what you think, I couldn't care less what you think. If you can't see that this is a moment of shame and decline, then I'm honestly not interested in you at all. https://t.co/QabSJDSTz9

Twaddle. Until tonight I was free to leave my home whenever I chose for whatever purpose I chose for as long as I chose, and go wherever I chose, a freedom I used to the full. Now all those freedoms have been extinguished. And by a clown. https://t.co/70O0TDeoO2

Then they are complacent fools, who do not deserve the liberty they inherited, and so will lose it for themselves and their children. Shaming. https://t.co/WtpSz8uCvP

I might add @annaamagdalenaa that quite a lot of people are dead because they fought to create and save the liberty you don't care a damn about. Why did they bother? Good thing they can't see us now. https://t.co/VFgAG5SaWT

But what is interesting is how many people attack me for attacking this blatant assault upon liberty. This is how you can tell the country is finished. And people used to ask me, they really did, why I urged them to get out while they could.

— Peter Hitchens (@ClarkeMicah) March 23, 2020

This is also true, but this shameful moment cannot pass without anyone even saying anything. https://t.co/iM83rpH2Xx
