Does nothing else matter?

Low traffic neighbourhoods – or rather “no-traffic” neighbourhoods are said to have the support of the public. Who do they actually ask for these surveys? In these, temporary road blocks are set up using bollards and wooden planters to stop vehicles and “encourage” walking or cycling. London Ambulance chiefs have reported slight increases in response times, although they say there has been no impact on patient safety. Well, they would say that, wouldn’t they? If there’s no im

Rash Decisions

Marcus Rashford is appearing on the front pages of newspapers as often as he appears at the back lately. His campaign for free child’s meals during school holidays has matched his goal-scoring exploits for Manchester United and England. It has brought him many plaudits and a good few opponents. Many argue that it is the job of the parents to feed their own kids. There is certainly a feral element who believe that alcohol and growing their tattoo collection come way above putt

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

Please Sir Can I Have Some More?

With the restrictions of tier three slowly taking over the North Labour Metro Mayor Andy Burnham dug his heels in to get more money for Greater Manchester from the Government. What he did for the people of Manchester was really to place them into further debt. The money that the people will be receiving is actually theirs which they have paid in income tax and other taxes such as VAT. What so many people fail to recognise is that this gargantuan debt will be passed on to the

What is this if not a national lockdown?

It’s a subject more divisive than Brexit. One side argues that life simply must go on, with a virus no more deadly than a nasty strain of winter flu. The others blame every rise in infections on those who “break the rules”. “Covidiots” comes the cry, though it is far from certain which faction it refers to. Meanwhile, the disabled are stigmatised for their inability to wear masks. As someone with a heart condition that leaves me breathless upon exertion, I myself am exempt. Y

Opportunism, China, Covid and Success

Opportunism is the ability to take advantage of a situation. You may not have created the situation. It may be an accident. But, you nonetheless exploit it for all it is worth. We do not know the origins of Covid: lab or outside; deliberate or accident; handled sincerely or covered up at least at first? We probably will never know definitively. What we do know are the consequences which include (in no particular order)… excess deaths from multiple causes a health delivery res

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,

The Fragility of Freedom

In March 1988, I boarded a plane bound for communist Prague, with a suitcase full of banned Bible commentaries and other theological books, a considerable amount of money, and the contact details of several Czech dissidents whom I had never met, written in code in the margins of the pages of a novel. This was the end of a long period of planning and preparation to attempt perhaps the most daring project undertaken by the various ‘underground universities’ operating covertly b

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

Suffer The Children.

In this frightful year of Covid-19 the Government has forgotten the children and in doing so has left many young children of both primary school age and high school age in a terrible dark and lonely place. In their crusade of authoritarianism thrust upon us, Boris Johnson and Matt Hancock have sown the very dark seeds of mental health issues and depression onto a generation of youngsters who should be full of life and happiness living life to the fullest. The forced closure o

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

Prohibition doesn’t work

Nicola Sturgeon’s continuously draconian Covid-19 policies have so often been the sounding board for Johnson’s Junta. As she announced Scotland’s pubs would be going alcohol free and have to close by 6pm, it should therefore scare every publican in the land. What happens in Scotland affects us more than we think. Who could ever think that the licensed trade would be asked to survive on non-licensed products sold in the quietest hours of their trading day? In restaurants too,

“Do as we say not as we do.”

In a statement yesterday the Prime Minister stated, in a major change in strategy, that instead of social distancing ending by Christmas this year, he said it will be more than likely be October 2021. The Government once again seems to be changing gear back into panic mode. After a relaxing of restrictions during the summer we are seeing the restrictions creeping back into our lives. Matt Hancock seems to revel in his daily time with the press. Nicola Sturgeon is trying to go

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

Time to remember we are human!

If one looks beyond the main Covid-19 headlines and at stories of how it is affecting the general population, one can see all kinds of human tragedies unfold. Empathy and sympathy seem to have been two of the biggest casualties of the war on the virus. As the general panic continues and talk of a second lockdown gathers pace, isn’t it time we remembered we are, first and foremost, human? Humans, by and large, are not solitary creatures and function best when they have the sup

Truth does not have an ideology

Julian Assange identifies as a market libertarian and is an admirer of Ron Paul. It is then a little surprising and also encouraging that much of his support comes from across the political divide. Support for his life long commitment to bring truth to the the people. To shine a light on what our government is doing in our name. To provide via WikiLeaks a source of of indisputable facts. Information that can and has been used to hold our government to account. There is a cert

A Libertarian Covid Strategy

Guest piece from Tony Brown, former political advisor to the EFDD group in the European Parliament. Better than most, libertarians understand multiple objectives. If you are libertarian, you pretty much always have at least two objectives. The first is whatever you wish to achieve but the second is the extension of freedom and choice: liberty. This makes libertarians better equipped than most to understand that Covid involves – and must involve – non-Covid objectives and deci

The biggest victim of Covid is our society

As the flu season makes its annual approach, one can already feel the tension in the air. Media outlets are all competing to create the scariest headlines imaginable, despite being seven weeks shy of Halloween, and government scientists tell us “It’s for our own good”. Very soon, the “Second Wave” of Covid will be on us, they say. Despite no upsurge in hospitalisations or deaths, our freedoms are again taken from us. Social gatherings of more than six are to be illegal from M

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
