To add to my burgeoning parental pride, Miss Paine the Elder, already a Cambridge graduate, has earned a masters degree with distinction from the University of London. I fear I may burst.

    Huge congratulations. The Misses Paine are obviously taking forward their inheritance.
    V sorry Mrs Paine wasn’t there, but who she was lives on in your daughter.
    All good wishes.

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.”
