Congratulations to "The Real Machiavelli" for bringing us this story of how our great nation rewards the families of its heroes. If you have a blog, please link to him. As Prodicus (to whom a tip of the hat) says;

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.”
