You Are a “Don’t Tread On Me” Libertarian You distrust the government, are fiercely independent, and don’t belong in either party. Religion and politics should never mix, in your opinion… and you feel opressed by both. You don’t want the government to cramp your self made style. Or anyone else’s…

You Are 56% Open Minded You are a very open minded person, but you’re also well grounded. Tolerant and flexible, you appreciate most lifestyles and viewpoints. But you also know where you stand firm, and you can draw that line. You’re open to considering every possibility – but in the…

Link: ‘One man dead after city shootings’. The social contract under which we surrendered our arms in return for state protection has broken down, because the state has defaulted. It has so arranged matters that only the criminals and its own henchmen are armed. Sometimes it’s hard to tell them…

This has been a tragic, humiliating week for Britain. The latest murder in South London coincided with a UNICEF report which suggested our children have the lowest quality of life in the developed world.

Link: Betrayal of a generation | the Daily Mail. The basic unit of a healthy society is not the State. It is not “the community.” It is the family. For the whole of my life, the Labour Party has been the enemy of the family. Any arrangement for the raising…

Link: The tiny airline spy that spots bombers in the blink of an eye | News | This is London. This is, to say the least, an unwise application of technology. Fanatics going, as they believe, directly to Paradise may well be no more stressed than an innocent nervous flyer.…
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.”
