THE LAST DITCH

Link: Iain Dale’s Diary: EXCLUSIVE: Sir Ian Blair Says New Terror Attack Could Lead to Internment.

This seems to surprise Iain. It does not surprise me. This blog began because I felt I could not be silent about the police state that Labour seems determined to build. I am still waiting, anxiously, for the Tories to show some concern or even some understanding of the nature of the threat.

Sadly, Iain is the most prominent Tory to do so, so far.

    Still waiting for the opposition to start opposing instead of a desire to become part of the ruling elite.

    Oh I think Cameron is very tough with his core vote, he is very big when it comes to the “blue rinse” brigade. Suicide nutjobs are a bit more controversial. You see there’s an election to win, there’s an image to create. We don’t want to upset too many of those electors in the middle ground and outright condemnation (you remember those, the ones without the “but” phrase at the end) might not be touchy-feely enough.

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.”
