Make a Start

Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don’t dare express themselves as we did. Sophie Scholl 9 May 1921 – 22 February 1943) Every year I make a point of marking the death of a twenty one year old who actively and openly campaigned against the German State , she was executed by guillotine for High Treason at Stadelheim Prison in Munich. Such moral courage few of us have. She was silenced but her words live o

Appetite for engagement

While the U.K. is a de facto Police State , Switzerland which is this party’s Constitutional model is resisting the arbitrary state Swiss referenda still thriving amid Covid measures Domhnall O’Sullivan In this week’s democracy briefing: as the Swiss government announces new Covid measures, campaigners have been collecting more signatures than ever to challenge them.

Hiding behind the flag

What is is it about the Conservative Party that it zeros in on having the most inept as it’s leader? Cameron the ‘green ‘ blue one , May the wannabe Thatcher, and Boris the wannabe Churchill. We elect parties to stop the other side winning , let’s not pretend it’s because we love the policies of the party we vote for , it’s the least worse option for ninety percent of us under our ‘political system’ Plus if you are in a ‘safe’ seat if you oppose the incumbent you may as well

Governments aren’t there to play God

When 7UP first came out in 1929, it contained added lithium. A new study in the British Journal of Psychiatry has led to calls for the government to add it to drinking water in an effort to reduce suicides. Growing numbers of people have been taking their own lives due to the effect of measures put in place to combat Covid-19. In effect, the government is considering taking measures to combat the effects of other government measures. Who’d believe you if you made that up? Lit

What Fresh Hell Is this?

National ‘emergencies‘ always bring forth ever greater erosion of freedom. War, Pandemic or Terrorism are the usual excuses for authoritarian government to up the ante. When the mindless are begging for everybody to obey police state diktat, sorry, belay begging, replace with demanding. I never thought I’d see in my life time police forces setting up road blocks demanding to know where you have come from and where you are going. We have a tradition of local police forces that

Johnson no longer has any credibility

This is probably the moment that the Johnson Administration fell apart , not the departure of Dominic Cummings, but the resignation of Sir Alex Allan who found that Patel had breached the Ministerial code over allegations of bullying and swearing at her staff, but Boris tried and failed to get him to tone down his report. Priti ‘PR’ Patel is one of those politicians that has brought this country to its knees. She goes nowhere without her personal photographer. Everything is a

Blair Government was Incompetent

Boris sporting his beloved Union Flags behind him has gone public believing that devolution has been a disaster, yesterday the First Minister of Scotland imprisoned two and a half million Scots because she can , and the Welsh First Minister has been putting Wales through a super lockdown because he can too. There is the added complication of the American President Presumptive getting involved with the Good Friday Agreement because ‘He is Irish’ Like so many disasters this lac

Tory Boy

There was once in the days of satire a revolting character called ‘Tory Boy’ on Television , well this under-educated chump has grown up (well he is out of puberty at least) and is running the country or rather ruining the country. This little twerp has a different ‘career’ path to ninety five per cent of the population. He has often attended a public school and has never had a job or met a ‘real person’ other than to throw bread rolls at in a West End Restaurant. Even the La

The days of the least worst have to end.

Donald Trump or Joe Biden? On the 3rd of November, millions of Americans will go out and vote for their next President. If those two septuagenarians are the best America has to offer, then all I can say is: God Bless America! In many cases, those poor Americans will end up voting for the one they think is, not best, but least worst. But this piece is not about America, it merely illustrates the problem we also have in the UK. First past the post systems limit choice, yet this

J’accuse

“J’Accuse…!” was an open letter published on 13 January 1898 in the newspaper L’Aurore by the influential writer Émile Zola. In the letter, Zola addressed President of France Félix Faure and accused the government of anti-Semitism and the unlawful jailing of Alfred Dreyfus, a French Army General Staff officer who was sentenced to lifelong penal servitude for espionage. Zola pointed out judicial errors and lack of serious evidence. The letter was printed on the front page of t

The Elizabeth Ages

As a young man I watched the battles between the last vestiges of dinosaur socialism as displayed between militant trades unionism most notably the NUM and the dynamic new brand of conservatism that became known as Thatcherism. A solid belief in the virtues of capitalism and free markets. Could I have foreseen the consequences of those battles then, I would have made the decision to leave the United Kingdom and seek opportunities abroad as a young man. The seventies were a mi

The True Cancer in our society.

In Matt Hancock, Boris has found a true dictator of the very worst kind. When asked about the continuance of cancer treatment during a possible “second wave”, all people got was a veiled threat as he said “It is critical for everybody to understand that the best way to keep cancer services running is to suppress the disease; the more the disease is under control, the more we can both recover and continue with cancer treatments”. Cancer kills an average of 450 people every sin

All Is Not (Yet) Lost!

Given the circumstances, it is not difficult to see why some libertarians may struggle to find a way out of our current predicament. When one is not only faced with a government’s continual abandonment of liberal free-market principles, combined with its introduction of draconian laws and a move towards authoritarianism, things are starting to look increasingly bleak. Apart from a few rebellious Tory MPs, it seems that the majority of our elected representatives are more than

Onwards and Upwards

Dated 27th August 2020 After months of inactivity and focussing on internal matters, the Libertarian Party has stuck to its principles of protecting individual members by adhering to its Constitution. In doing so, they have reversed the slide into populist nationalism and remain committed to devolved government away from Whitehall and Westminster. Draconian measures taken by the current government has placed the country into massive debt and ruined the lives of millions. In t

Date: Monday 15th April 2019 Former Conservative MP for Stroud, Neil Carmichael is joining Change UK and plans to stand for the party in the EU elections.

Where is our Cromwell?

It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place. The country needs to be rid of most of the sitting elected “representatives”. That last word is in inverted commas because in no way are the representing anyone but themselves. Under our unwritten constitution, it seems they are sovereign and responsible only to voters who, all too often, find themselves voting for the “least-worst” candidate. Our First Past The Post system is no longer fit for purpose. Incre

Parliamentary Representative Democracy is now dead and buried.

With days to go an MP whose constituents voted 70 – 30 to Leave has forced through a bill through the Commons and Lords and gained Royal Assent making it Law that we cannot Leave the EU ‘without a deal’ The implications of this are fairly straight forward Parliamentary Representative Democracy is now dead and buried. Cooper is not a representative, she has defied the will of the people who sent her to Parliament. Her personal integrity was laid bare in the Expenses scandal, w

LPUK Challenges electoral status of “The Independent Group”

ISSUE DATE: Friday, March 15th 2019 The Libertarian Party have written to the Electoral Commission to query the electoral status of the “Independent Group” in Parliament. The group have registered as a limited company, but not yet as a political party. Libertarian members were dubious about the use of the “Independent” naming, when the group clearly is not. Libertarian Treasurer, Brian Vickery, wrote “I have been asked by a member of the party to seek your guidance on the sta

Parliamentary Representative Democracy has died

Date: Tuesday 26th February 2019 It was a slow, lingering death, with the patient being kept artificially alive long after it was able to function, but the Libertarian Party Chairman, Andrew Withers, has declared Parliamentary Representative Democracy dead. Cliques of MP’s who have sold their soul to the EU are forming ‘parties’ that do not even bother to register with the Electoral Commission. Recent announcements by Britain’s two largest parties have spurred the Libertarian
