A glorious example of rule by fuckwits.


Like he said. 

It leads one to muse optimistically; is there coded into the software of the Universe some redeeming rule that the competence of a state varies inversely with its size? In which case, might Tim’s jocular cry to “hang them all” not prove counterproductive? 

It’s that rare bird, the competent state employee, we must truly fear. The more fuckwits in its ranks the better, surely?

    Completely correct – the competence of the State is indeed inversely proportional to the size.

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.”
