THE LAST DITCH
Late last year I posted a graph of this blog here. The java applet to create these graphs is to be found here. There is something strangely fascinating in watching the graphic form. I am not tecchie enough to understand what the different elements represent and now I am puzzled that, although The Last Ditch now contains hundreds more posts and many hundred more links than it did last year, today’s graph appears simpler. Can any tech-minded reader explain why?
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.”
