THE LAST DITCH
A day off from politics. I am the guest of an old friend at this Heineken Cup match, having flown in from Moscow yesterday and driven Vittoria down from Chester to Swansea this morning. It was a beautiful drive on winding Welsh roads. Here's hoping for a match that's half as much fun.
Well wave to Liz (Finding life hard?) when you are there, for she too will be somewhere there in those crowded stands. It’s a small world.

Amid almost 19000 people, we didn’t spot each other. I am not quite sure how we could have done, as my profile picture is not an entirely accurate representation of me. I hope she enjoyed the match as much as I did.

How strange to think of us being in the same small place! From that photo angle it looks like you were in the ‘posh’ seats!

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.

“…government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”
