So Hannan has finally admitted he was wrong to support Barack Obama.
This is better than nothing, I suppose, but then I’ve never been a big Hannan fan. He’s probably the best of a bad bunch, but he’s still a politician and he still speaks the language of politics. He essentially thinks desirable social outcomes can [...]
I find it hard to follow the global warming debate. Both sides seem to have a lot to say and working through all the evidence on both sides could take a lifetime. I tend towards the sceptical side, however, because it’s so politicised. In the past whenever I’ve seen politicians frothing at the mouth over an issue, [...]
The Devil’s Knife/Kitchen has an excellent write up on why the “coalition government” is just more lies and bullshit.
It also highlighted a quote from Tesco regarding the minimum pricing regulation that I hadn’t seen before:
Supermarket chain Tesco says it wants to see curbs on the sale of cheap alcohol during this Parliament.
Tesco has welcomed a [...]
I was going to do one of these for each of the three main parties, but as it’s election day already I won’t have time to do the Liberal Democrat one. With that in mind I present to you my analysis of the conservative leaflet that came through my door courtesy of, accurately named, Simon [...]
It seems there are several levels to the immigration debate, each seemingly slightly more rational and libertarian than the last:
Level 1: Hi, I’m an authoritarian racist and I believe that Immigrants are destroying the country! We fought a war so we wouldn’t have to speak German, and now these foreigners are coming over here, stealing our [...]
I keep getting stupid campaign leaflets through my door. I pick them up and am consistently amazed at how they manage to one up each other in the retard stakes. Seeing as none of these leaflets are remotely libertarian, and yet people all across my city (Cardiff) are getting them spammed through their letterbox, I [...]
Hilarious interview with “Lord” Adnois on his handling of the Icelandic volcano fiasco.
To paraphrase his position: “Government may have messed everything up, but we were doing the best we could… after all, it’s important that planes are safe. Act of god… Act of god… safety of passengers. Blah blah blah.”
There is absolutely no need for [...]
I’m typically pretty apathetic about mainstream politics but even I have to admit to feeling some goosebumps at the prospect of seeing the Sky election debate in glorious high definition!
Yes, you heard me correctly, for the first time in British TV history, we’re going to be able to watch our future leaders discuss the most [...]
N.B. I am not Davy.
I want to talk briefly about the Tory homosexual rights debacle that’s been floating around in the mainstream news today. I’m not one to rehash over the same points made by other libertarian bloggers, so instead I’ll approach it from a different angle. An angle that is more emotive, but that [...]
This story was published to the Mail Online on 01/04/2010 and yet somehow it appears to NOT be an April fools joke…
Her offence was to unwittingly sell a goldfish to a 14-year-old boy taking part in a trading standards ’sting’.
At most, pet shop owner Joan Higgins, 66, expected a slap on the wrist for breaking [...]
