Time for reform?

The United Kingdom has some of the most restrictive, contrived and authoritarian firearms legislation known to man. It’s time for this to end, before any more restrictions to what we may or may not own jump into the head of whichever fool happens to be Prime Minister at the time. As of 2016, there were 153,404 Firearms Certificate holders in the UK, alongside 567,015 Shotgun Certificate holders, and a mere 9,787 “offences involving firearms”, which also includes imitation fir

Cruel and unusual punishment

Before the last election I had a meeting with a former cabinet minister who was adamant that Assange had caused incalculable damage to British interests. These interests appear to be just sucking up to the US securi state. A senior US Officer has confirmed not one US intelligence asset had been compromised as a result of Assange revelations. The US was just embarrassed to the Nth degree. Despite not authorising his extradition on mental health grounds, on the 6th January 2021

Fireworks Ahead?

On New Year’s Eve, I had an early night, but friends of mine in completely different towns saw skies full of really expensive fireworks, more than they’d ever seen before in their life. Were the people setting these off obeying the rules and setting off hundreds of pounds worth of pyrotechnics for their own household’s benefit? Somehow, I would say that’s doubtful. Roads are similarly busy, with queues of motorists heading every which way – all on urgent journeys, no doubt. L

Covert Human Intelligence Sources (Criminal Conduct) Bill 2019 – 2021

The new Director General of MI5 Ken McCallum has laid out his stall in a very rare interview. He talked about the resurgent threat from the Russian Federation, the growing threat from China, Islamist terror groups and far right groups. As we saw with the attack in Paris last night there needs to be security services to try and stop these organisations and groups spreading their violence. The threat from the Russian Federation is increasingly important to keep a tight hold on,

Who Will Be Watching The Watchers? Revisted

On Tuesday we saw the Conservative Government and Boris Johnson announce new restrictions. We, in the Libertarian Party are perplexed at the current strategy that the Government is taking. We were thrust into lockdown with our freedoms taken from us earlier this year to “flatten the curve”. I wrote an article in April looking at the powers the Police have under the Corona Virus Act 2020. After a few weeks of a gentle lifting of the restrictions we now see certain ones being r

Guest Contributor: Tony Brown. Tony was a political advisor to the EFDD (Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy) group within the European parliament and its predecessor the EFD. It is unfortunate that Covid originated in China. A one-party totalitarian state, the Chinese do not hesitate to clamp-down and deprive their citizens of their freedoms with scarcely a second thought. This provided an example for the rest of the world and, with so many experts forecasting catastrophe

Migration – the new unmentionable subject?

Date: Monday 3rd December 2018 Next week’s UN Global Compact for Migration sets universal rights and conditions for migrants, but Bill Etheridge MEP has pointed out that if the paper is signed without changes, then even criticising migration would be criminalised. Louise Arbour, the former Canadian judge and senior U.N. official behind the pact, said “There is not a single member state that is obligated to do anything that it doesn’t want to.” To which Etheridge retorted, “If

Victims have rights too

West Midlands Libertarian MEP, Bill Etheridge blasted YouTube as it censored one of his videos, talking about victim’s rights. He called it the start of a “slippery slope”. Sammy Woodhouse was just 14 when she was raped in a grooming gang scandal, exposing the biggest child exploitation ring in the history of the UK. Arshid Hussain, originally from from Pakistan, is currently serving a 35-year jail term for his crimes. Sammy has waived her right to anonymity to speak out abou

Two-tier Justice

A new nationwide hate crime awareness campaign has been launched by the government leading to what critics call a two tier justice system. This now includes criminals motivated by hostility towards the victim’s race, religion, sexual orientation, transgender identity or disability. Age and even sub-culture clothing, such as goths or punks could be added to the definition. It is intended to lead to stiffer sentences for crimes committed due to one of the above reasons. Bill Et

Back To Basics Policing

Libertarian Party Home Affairs Spokesman, Dan Liddicott, has called for the category of hate crime “to be abolished” and for a “back to basics” approach to policing, as vital police resources are misdirected from tackling real crime to recording incidents which are not crimes. “Police are being taken away from their most vital work tackling real crime and wasting time recording non-crime incidents” said Dan Liddicott, Libertarian Party Home Affairs spokesman. “Consequently tr

Thoughts And Feelings Are Not Crimes

Dan Liddicott, Libertarian Party Home Policy Spokesman, agreed with Chief Constable Sara Thornton when she raised the thorny issue of hate crime and urged police to focus on burglaries and violence ahead of recording incidents that are not crimes. Dan Liddicott, Libertarian Party Home Policy Spokesman, said: “Given all that is expected of the police Chief Constable Thornton was quite right in directing policing resources to focus on real crimes. “Over recent years policing ha

A Government Failing To Protect Its Citizens

West Midlands MEP Bill Etheridge has claimed the current policing levels are insufficient to keep people safe. Recent figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show a jump in the numbers of recorded robberies (up 22%), sexual offences (up 18%), vehicle-related theft (up 7%) and burglaries (2%). Yet just 8.7% of reported offences resulted in criminal charges being laid – the lowest for three years. Birmingham, Britain’s second biggest city, has seen gun crime rates

Overhaul The Law On Self-Defence

Following two incidents yesterday, an unprovoked attack by a psychotic East European which I witnessed, and a colleague of a friend being deliberately run down in a road rage incident, I will be campaigning for an overhaul of the law on self-defence and citizen’s arrest. In the latter incident, the victim was deliberately run over after remonstrating with the driver of an Audi TT for dangerous driving. A paramedic from a nearby car and a GP visiting a nearby house, rushed out
