    Unfortunately, we cannot help to contribute to the quest, because it is password protected. Likely a Libertarian Grizzly Bear from the Yukon.

    Maybe it’s an unfortunate person stranded on a desert island with nothing but a laptop computer and a satellite connection.

    A Submariner, perhaps?
    I once visited BT’s Network Operations Centre at Oswestry. They showed connections to various “Other Licensed Operators” as being somewhere out in the Irish Sea & the Atlantic.

    Thanks for identifying yourself, Ian. It has been bugging me since I first noticed. And thanks to the other commenters for their interesting wrong ideas.

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.”
