THE LAST DITCH

Channel 4 – News – Your nominations please….

Channel 4 is calling for nominations for its Political Impact Award 2009. I suggest we all nominate Damian Green MP. We must all at least hope that the scandalous abuse of executive power to humiliate a political opponent (and intimidate public servants into concealing government cock ups) will have the most serious political impact of the year.

Please follow the link above to find out how to make your nomination. I have already submitted mine.

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.”
