THE LAST DITCH

A busy chap

Saint George – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

I wish my readers a happy Saint George's Day. George is the patron saint not only of England, but also – if Wikipedia is to be believed – of Aragon, CataloniaEthiopia, Georgia, Greece, Lithuania, Palestine, Portugal, and Russia, as well as the cities of Amersfoort, Beirut, Bteghrine, Cáceres, Ferrara, Freiburg, Genoa, Ljubljana, Gozo, Pomorie, Qormi, Lod and Moscow. As an Englishman who is a grateful guest of Russia living happily in Moscow, I therefore have much celebrate.

Have a good day all. If you are English, do try to forget for a day all those under the patronage of Saint Andrew who oppress you so sorely. That dragon too, will one day be slain.

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.”
