THE LAST DITCH

Link: An Englishman’s Castle: The Prison Walls close in.

The Englishman’s Castle is my first blog of the week. I have no complicated Iain Dale style marking system. I make my choice in an entirely subjective way. In this case, the citation reads “for providing me with the delightful image of

“…wailing Cherie joining all those other Scouse women crying out their man is a good man, he never did it…..”

It hasn’t happened yet, but we live in hope. In the meantime, that image has the power to make me smile whenever I feel down.

Tom is a retired international lawyer. He was a partner in a City of London law firm and spent almost twenty years abroad serving clients from all over the world.

Returning to London on retirement in 2011, he was dismayed to discover how much liberty had been lost in the UK while he was away.

He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that

“…government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”
