THE LAST DITCH

underdogs bite upwards: So many queens

If you are conservative, old-school liberal, or libertarian spare yourself the trouble of trawling the blogs today. If you are a blogger of that persuasion, spare yourself the trouble of posting. Just link, as I have, to today's post on Underdogs Bite Upwards.

Leg-iron of that parish is the blogger who brought us the term "the Righteous" to describe those modern Britons whose demented certainty brings them, endlessly interfering, into every corner of others' lives. Not for the first time, he has told it like it is. So much so that, frankly, the rest of us can take the day off. Do go read the whole of the passionate piece leading to this peroration

"The true coward is the one who will take no risk at all. The one who
will not desert but who will hide behind others when the fighting
starts. Those are the weaklings who run the country now.

If you vote Labour, you are one of them.
"

And, by the way, if you recognise yourself in this description then, as Leg-iron robustly says,

…if any passing Righteous wish to take offence, be my guest. I don't like you anyway

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.”
