YOUR Property, You Say? Think Again | Dick Puddlecote.

Watching Mr Clegg yesterday (and the editorialising about his comments on the BBC News) made me cry out in anger for the first time in months. Not because politicians have been behaving themselves, but because my life experiences had put their disgraceful manoeuvrings into context.

"Do these *******s know no limits?" I asked Miss P the Elder rhetorically and resolved to blog this morning when calm had returned. Mr Puddlecote has saved me the trouble. Please go, read him in full and weigh in with your comments while your right to do so remains to you.

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.”
