THE LAST DITCH
BBC News – Today – Europe 'living in fantasy' over crisis.
The tone of the interviewer's voice as Terry Smith of Tullett Prebon tells her (among other home truths) that there have been no cuts and that the public sector must shrink dramatically is music to my ears.
Something tells me Mr. Smith's career as a BBC pundit is over.

You are correct, he will not be invited back.
I heard a brave attempt from someone called Melissa Kite on the Any Questions programme on Friday night. While she wasn’t exactly libertarian she attempted to tell the truth a few times. Here is a lefty response to one of her attempts on that show (she called the Nazis socialists which elicited actual jeering and ridicule from the host David Dimbleby and the audience).

I am truly staggered by the extent of BBC bias sometimes but it is refreshing when a somewhat normal person gets onto a show and isn’t cowed by the atmosphere.

Tom’s defence of Melissa on my blog is provoking equal hilarity.

The wicked leftist fuckwit will have little to laugh about soon when the arrogant states of the world can’t pay their bills even with all their thieving, borrowing and bogus fiat currancy.

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.”
