THE LAST DITCH
One response to “I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot”
-
Living out of the UK, the 5th of November is meaningless. It is nice to be reminded however about links to history. I was a little envious of my brother taking his family to a Guy Fawkes Bonfire. A cultural event that my young kids will likely not experience. At this time of year in Australia, there are total fire bans, so I doubt if the concept would take off, even if there was interest.

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.”
