THE LAST DITCH

Old soldier takes first MP to court for being 'lazy' | Mail Online.

To me, the most interesting aspect of this story is that the judgement against her was made in her absence. She simply failed to show up in court! She must be fairly neglectful of her correspondence to have missed the letter before action, court summons etc. Yet she is obviously capable of efficient processing of paperwork when making expense claims.

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.”
