THE LAST DITCH
I am very pleased to have been voted the "Best Expat Political Blog" in the Witanagemot Club’s blog awards. Thank you to everyone who voted for me. It is a little encouragement in time of dire need.
And well deserved too!

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.
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.”
