Jimmy Carr is morally right

[WARNING: The following article contains images that some people may (and should) find disturbing. If you don't want to see fairly graphic images then stop reading now or scroll down with a soft touch] David Cameron has described Jimmy Carr as “Morally wrong” for allegedly paying  as low as 1% on his income taxes thanks [...]

A Bastardised Attack Against Libertarianism

NB, I am not Davy. Not exactly sure what prompted it, but good golly is George Monbiot not mincing any words about his thoughts on Libertarianism over at the Guardian. Sadly, all we get is a horrible collection of misrepresentation, straw-man arguments, demagoguery, and outright misunderstanding of basic Libertarian principles. Let’s take this a bit [...]

In defence of sweatshops

Another great lecture from Learn Liberty. The issue of sweatshop labour is a favourite of lefties and liberals everywhere. Little do they realise when they protest sweatshops that they’re destroying what little opportunities the poor in third world countries actually have.

Wikileaks and ‘America’s secret backing for rebel leaders behind uprising’

NB: I am not Davy The revolt in major Egyptian cities is continuing to expand and gain momentum as tens of thousands of protestors, inspired by the events in Tunisia, demand freedom (“hurriya”) and the removal of Mubarak’s US-backed autocratic regime. It seems that the possibility of a transition from the Mubarak era to a [...]
