THE LAST DITCH

Friendly greetings to all American friends of non-totalitarian persuasions. Have a great Fourth guys. Totalitarian Americans won't want to celebrate today anyway.

Because for all their current problems and despite the current leadership of their federal government, the United States are still – at heart – the home of the free. Consider this remarkable video, for example. Whether you agree with it or not, ask yourself this; is there any well-organised group in Britain that could put out something of this quality along these lines?

When there is a well-funded organisation called "Britons for limited government", maybe we can start planning our own celebratory barbecues.

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.”
