THE LAST DITCH

The Blogspot Last Ditch Archives: The opening shot

Today is the eighth anniversary of my first post on this blog. Since then, there has been a whole lot of expostulating here against the British State and its wicked ways. I am not sure the first post received even a single hit. If things have livened up around here since then, gentle reader, it is all thanks to you.

    Also it would be nice to think more people were catching on to some of the state’s inherent (what a lovely useful word ^_^) faults.

    Well done, Tom. The sphere would be poorer without 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.”
