The silly sod got his arse handed to him by Dr Beorn @waitmanwbeorn.com when he tried to lecture one the world's experts on holocaust history about... holocaust history.

Chemical weapons, holocaust history...to his credit, he's a polymathical twat.

And drugs, don't forget drugs. If public school teaches these folks anything it's that they're never wrong about *anything*!

And the meaning of the criminal term "County lines" with @barristersecret.bsky.social. And WW2 aviation history with me, where I'm not wholly inexpert...

Interestingly, one thing he has absolutely not mastered is "how to reply in a thread".

Shitchens vanity-searched then QT-ed me upset over something that someone else implied he had said, and when I explained that reality, he didn't even apologise.

Everyone has to apologise but him. He is never going to apologise ever

His finest hour?

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah Even during the two great wars, theatres, pubs, churches remained open, people were not confined to their homes. And there was no question the Germans were attacking us. 7:37 PM · May 5, 2020 Al Murray @almurray May 5, 2020 The blackout, Peter.

I always suspected Hitchens would, in fact, fight the invaders on the beaches, the landing grounds, in the fields and in the streets, in the hills etc.; it's just that he'd be mounting his defence in Normandy, in 1944.
