THE LAST DITCH

My Way News – Class back on rise in UK _ but elite different.

Apropos the Sunday Times Rich List;

Philip Beresford, who assembles the list, told the BBC that "when I first started 25 years ago about two-thirds of the rich list were people who had inherited their wealth. Today, approaching 80 percent are self-made and that's really a legacy of the Thatcher years."

Can that be anything but good news to anyone but the envious? Can we stop rabbiting on about medieval injustices now please?
 
More freedom. More education. More opportunity. Less whinging. Less leftist teaching. Less poverty.

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.”
