It so happened I had the need to travel to Stoke recently. As a free man, it was my right to go there. Wasn’t it? Closing the door on my home, I had a fleeting thought that there were just three more instalments on my Council Tax for the year – then I got two free months. A few steps then, to the car which costs me £25 every month in Car Tax. Yes, I know I could find a cheaper car to run, but I have chosen this to cover both work and play. Some fuel is required, so I put a fe

West Midlands MEP Bill Etheridge accused the country’s law makers of “legislation for legislation’s sake”. His comments come as the Law Commission – the independent body that regularly reviews laws – began its review of so-called hate crime following a campaign by the Labour MP Stella Creasy. Ms Creasy feels misogyny should be listed as a hate crime, but misandry, ageism and also membership of certain sub-cultures, such as Goths, could be considered. The Libertarian Party UK

In amongst Theresa May’s rather Stalinist move, sending mental health assessors into schools, to diagnose mental illnesses in children as young as four was the appointment of the world’s first minister for Suicide Prevention. Just the thought of a government minister trying to stop anyone from ending their life is a thought that may well keep people from sleep at night. That it turns out said minister is Jackie Doyle-Price, who made a rather crass joke about running off Beach

In his intervention around the recent Tory party conference Jacob Rees-Mogg observed that “…the ever-mighty State wants control – and the easiest way to get this is by not supporting the Family. That way it creates more dependence and therefore a greater ability to interfere in people’s lives.” For the Libertarian Party the growing encroachment on civil liberties, family autonomy and the encouraging of family breakdown through perverse welfare and tax policies, is a grave con

Dear fellow libertarian, I resigned from UKIP on Tuesday and joined the UK Libertarian Party four days later. As far as I am concerned, I switched labels but remained true to my beliefs – for UKIP has left me, not the other way around. In its constitution in 2010, UKIP declares itself a libertarian party. That constitution is still in force. However, you would not know it from a UKIP leader advocating state ownership and control – which has to be paid for with higher taxes –

Cllr. Peter White, Town Councillor, Shropshire I had the privilege of campaigning with the Tax Payers Alliance in the Town of Shrewsbury on the  23rd of March. It’s always daunting to try and engage the British public because we are all so very busy and we aren’t afraid to say exactly what we are thinking. Drawing from my few experiences of engaging with the public I can tell you of one thing that is a constant in my conversations and the reactions that I have received from p

Cllr. Wayne G. Mills I wouldn’t have counted myself as an activist, or even politically motivated, but just a compassionate guy who cares deeply for the rights of people, to have a say in their lives and local community. Until recently that is! On May 7th 2015, upon my election to becoming a Councillor, that fuzzy warmth of reasoning led me into my first experience of local politics at the age of 49. In Earls Barton Parish Council we are 13 in number, with a sizeable precept

Dan Liddicott Midlands Region Coordinator and Young Libertarians Coordinator It has been said that those who forget their history are doomed to repeat it. While this is true of so many things, the cultural marxist revolution we are now experiencing is perhaps the most insidious of them. One of the most infamous movements of the cultural marxist revolution of the last century was kicked off in Peking University in 1966 at the hand of the Red Guard. In his book, The Cowshed: M
