Link: How to make my child feel like a black sheep – Comment – Times Online. I am so sick of Trevor Phillips. The man has never done an honest days work in his life, moving without pause from student politics to allegedly “grown-up” politics. He is a parasite, living…

Link: Supermarket giants could make couple’s dream ‘a nightmare’ | 24dash.com – Communities. I have discovered a site which bills itself as “News for the British public sector and beyond.” It’s a little like falling through the looking glass. Consider this story. Tesco “kindly” allow an elderly couple to use…

Link: How we left the Church behind… « Birmingham University Conservative Forum. Out of curiosity I had a look at the Birmingham University Conservative Forum blog. BUCF is the successor to the University’s Conservative Association of which, many moons ago, I was first secretary and then chairman. I have found…

Link: ‘Grammar schools should never have been closed’ minister admits | the Daily Mail. I have waited for this admission of the obvious for 30 years, since my own education was trashed by the mad ideologues of the British Left. Can I now sue? How infuriating that it comes (albeit…

The left of the Labour Party is right, to precisely this extent. The Government would be wrong to make an exception to the Sexual Orientation Regulations, which come into force in April, for the Catholic (or any other) Church. If a law is necessary and correct, it must apply to…

My only excuse for taking this test is that I am ill, in bed and bored. What will your excuse be? You Are: 40% Dog, 60% Cat You and cats have a lot in common. You’re both smart and in charge – with a good amount of attitude. However, you…

Link: As A Dodo: The Home Office 1782-2007. I have no plans to write a full Blogpower Review (I have just enough strength left to fulfil my commitment to do ten) but I just want to say that one of my favourite blogs at the moment, in or out of…

As I predicted, New Labour is using the Celebrity Big Brother hoo-ha as an excuse for the compulsory re-education of the masses. Compare and contrast with this story about maths and English standards in our schools. We should have no doubt about New Labour’s “educational” priorities. Just as it sees…
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

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…
