Link: Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Reid on the attack in missing terror suspects row. How long are we going to allow John Reid and his like to get away with such political scams? THEY introduced control orders; a form of house arrest. Having taken these shocking powers they…

Link: TUC at Warsaw Jobs Fair. Brendan Barber, TUC General Secretary, said: “It’s vital that Poles and other migrant workers know their rights before they come to work in the UK. Otherwise they risk becoming sitting ducks for employers who delight in making money out of exploiting vulnerable workers.” After…

Link: Freedom and Whisky. David’s observation is interesting. Three of the top ten websites in the would-be Socialist Peoples’ Republic of Scotland are not merely conservative, but libertarian! Maybe it’s because Scots live in such a monochrome political culture that libertarians stand out like blood in the snow? Those sites…

Link: Amazing Mars picture show planet’s ‘dramatic climate changes’ | the Daily Mail. I read this while half watching some dimwit environmentalist on Sky News saying we must stop flying so much to prevent climate change. Obviously that’s where the Martians are going wrong.

Link: Machine-gun the rioters, Blunkett ‘told’ prisons chief – Britain – Times Online. Would this man have ever known high office if he were not disabled? Blunkett is a useless man who has traded on sympathy for his blindness. But blind people, like sighted people, can be good and bad;…

What an ignorant, vulgar, condescending little man. I detest Labour with all my heart because I grew up in a Labour rotten borough; know how arrogant, condescending and corrupt the Labour “Movement” is and have experienced the education system it designed in order to preserve its underclass voter-base by denying…

Link: Security Beefed Up At Cedar Rapids Public Library | The Onion – America’s Finest News Source. Absolutely spot on. If you don’t get the joke, you are either a Muslim (or a New Labour) fanatic, so who cares? H/T The Croydonian

Link: Tim Worstall: What’s Going on?. People often confuse law and justice. Not all laws are just. Not all justice is lawful. Since Labour came to power, we have had a lot of law and very little justice. They have, on average, criminalised one new activity per day in office.…

Link: Choice Cuts: The Cost Of Belief. John East has made a grim, but interesting, calculation of the death toll of Muslims in conflict since WWII. Read it. You may be surprised.

Winter began today in Moscow. I went out with just a sweater for warmth and was given many disbelieving stares by well-wrapped-up Muscovites. By the time I had walked a mile or so, I realised they were right. This is a picture of the nearest church to my home, silhouetted…
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 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…
