We are in the final approaches now to the Blogpower Awards ceremony next Sunday. Normal service will soon be resumed at this blog, for good or ill. I thank my readers who are not attending, or who find the whole Second Life (SL) thing a bore, for their patience. I…

Link: The Devil’s Kitchen: A Second Life. DK over at Devil’s Kitchen was kind enough to give the Blogpower Awards ceremony a write-up. He makes a very fair point about virtual alcohol. I find it’s best to have a beer myself in RL (Real Life, in SL-speak) while signalling what…
THE LAST DITCH
Your blogger
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.”
