Don’t be too down in the dumps. I don’t comment here much but I regard this as one of the best blogs around. Your post ‘Ceremony marks Menezes death’ was superb. Agree with every word – so perhaps the country you love isn’t quite dead yet.

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.

He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that
