THE LAST DITCH

Link: The Thomas Paine Society – An Introduction.

Tom_paineI never thought I would be a member of any organisation that had Michael Foot as its President and Tony Benn as its Vice-President, but (in my real name) I now am. Still, it’s hard to dislike people who treasure Tom Paine’s memory, however politically misguided they may be.

By all means click "Application Form" to download a PDF which, sent by quaint old-fashioned snail mail and accompanied by a cheque, will allow you to join me, Michael and Tony as members of The Thomas Paine Society.

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.”
