THE LAST DITCH

If I can’t be a great book, I am glad at least to be a funny one. I admired Douglas Adams, who was a Mac user with a child’s curiosity, a very adult sensibility and a relentless inability to take pretension seriously. Would that I could muster more than two of those four.


You’re The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy!
by Douglas Adams

Considered by many to be one of the funniest people around, you are
quite an entertainer. You’ve also traveled to the far reaches of what you deem possible,
often confused and unsure of yourself. Life continues to jostle you around like a marble,
but it’s shown you so much of the world that you don’t care. Wacky adventures continue to
lie ahead. Your favorite number is 42.

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.”
