Today we were honoured with a visit in Second Life from DK of the Devil’s Kitchen. Despite claiming to have teleported directly to us on first arrival, he had – as you can see – done a pretty good job of setting up a suitably demonic avatar. What a stark…

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.”

I’m generally against more laws but would make an exception for this. Goose, Gander, etc. We should be using their…
I like it and agree. I’m not sure how many others would! 😎
That’s a modern “more law” approach — and certainly consistent with our Establishment’s current aggressive approach. However I don’t want…
