THE LAST DITCH
Over at Blogpower HQ, I have suggested a new initiative; namely inviting other Blogpower members to write pieces on our blogs as “Guest Authors.” So far reactions have been mixed, but I will give it a try and see how it goes. I am sure we all have slightly different readerships and this idea might introduce at least some of our readers to other Blogpower blogs.
I have started to issue invitations, so watch this space.
Tom, it’s a great initiative – it’s just that some are a bit reticent and a bit fearful of what will be written. Will they have unleashed a storm of f–s and c–s on an unsuspecting readership?
I myself am issuing three invitations per week. So, to start the ball rolling, one is coming your way right now and to Mr. Eugenides and Lady Ellee. Might as well start at the top.

James, the software enables the blog owner to hold a post for approval, so there’s no need for anyone to be nervous. Any clues as to a topic you would like me to cover? I think it would be particularly interesting to see our own type of topics covered by other Blogpowerers in their style. So by all means set me some homework!

Just go for it, Tom. I’ve seen it. Do I have to actually post it myself or are you able to do that?

I can post it. It’s not finished yet. Thanks for the encouragement!

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.”
