I have been tagged by Tin Drummer to do my own version of this, so here it is.

1. Vote Labour
2. Convert to Islam
3. Give up hope that England will restore habeas corpus
4. Carry a British ID card
5. Return to live in England unless my hope (see 3 above) is first realised
6. Drive a Toyota Prius
7. Appear on a reality TV show
8. Eat snake (my wife has, but I really couldn’t)
9. Shake Tony Blair’s hand
10. Accept the “science” of climate change until the “scientists” explain why they have suppressed references to the mediaeval warm period

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.”
