Link: ‘Post votes down after fraud probe’. 20,000 postal voters have disappeared in the wards where the "banana republic" voting scam was detected. That’s an indication of the scale of the scandal. It’s probably about how many were forged or stolen by ZanuLabour in Birmingham. As we know, it hasn’t…

Link: The Home Counties boys who planned murder | Uk News | News | Telegraph. This gentleman speaks directly to Toynbee, Blair and all those other Guardianistas who seek to excuse crime and terrorism by reference to its "social causes" Omar Khyam’s uncle told the Daily Telegraph: "You read in…

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
