THE LAST DITCH

Link: The Remittance Man: Richard Hammond.

Well said Remittance Man.

“Steve Irwin and Richard Hammond. High priests of the real man’s “fuck you” to the safety nazis. Long may their spirit reign.”

Ask yourself the question, would you prefer to meet Steve Irwin or Richard Hammond for a beer, or any employee of the Health & Safety Executive?

It’s a no-brainer, isn’t it? Even allowing for the fact that Steve had, and Richard has, a head start in that neither would try to extort a bribe from you.

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.”
