THE LAST DITCH
I have just enjoyed a lunch with some of my profession's "good eggs" in the City. After an hour of gloomily exchanging notes on our (and our clients') businesses and the government's approach to the crisis, I asked what investment recommendations they could give my readers. After a pause, one replied;
Ouch.
I trust the lunch was convivial. 🙂

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.”
