Our trillion-dollar-spending, multiculture-obsessed, political
leaders might do worse than be reminded of the colorful British
Victorian politician, Colonel Charles de Laet Waldo Sibthorp,
Member for Lincoln, from 1826 to 1855.
Sibthorp was probably the most passionate foe of government spending any Parliament has ever produced.
It was Sibthorp’s fate that his political career should coincide with the first beginnings of the Welfare State and the extension of the vote to the working classes through the great Reform Bill.
Sibthorp was a conservative of conservatives, a reactionary so far right as to be virtually in outer space.
