THE LAST DITCH

This brought back memories. At five to seven years old I was a devoted fan and Gil Favor (played by the late Eric Fleming) was my role model of choice. Of course, it was also the big break for one Clint Eastwood. Years later, for reasons too complicated to explain (it involved a lot of vodka), I led the assembled throng in a Warsaw restaurant in a rousing rendition of the splendid theme song – not realising that they knew it from the Blues Brothers rather than the TV show. It became a kind of theme song, sung at all the social events of my Polish team.

Thanks to Corporate Presenter for bringing it all back.

One response to “Head ’em up, move ’em out…”

    Thanks for the plug Tom. Somehow though, I seem to prefer the Blues Brothers version!

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.”
