Profli gate is an apt and woderful coinage! Not sure about some aspects of the article , though. You’ll know which, Tom, as I’m one of your favourite breed – a guardianista.

Still? Even after the Welsh back home voted Tory? Your lot have destroyed the country, its Triple-A rating is on the line; Brown’s reduced a G7 nation to a credit rating below McDonald’s and the French and Germans are using the EU “regulators” finally to kill the golden goose of the City.
Surely enlightenment is dawning by now, Welshcakes? Stop cooking for half a day and read something other than the Guardian, please.

I’m sorry, Welshcakes. You and I are close in many ways but on this, sadly, Tom is right and I couldn’t have expressed it better. We’re not having a go at you personally, far from it. It’s just that the guardianisti really need to wake up and see, in fact, what they have subscribed to. I doubt if they can because everyone’s so entrenched in party political positions.

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.”
