Government regulations are never necessary. Not only do they not work as well as natural market regulations, they always have ugly unintended (or secretly intended if you’re of a cynical bent) consequences. If you take a simple example like food hygiene in restaurants, the market could easily take care of this and eliminate all environment safety officer’s jobs [...]

Brilliant but frightening analysis by Stefan Molyneux on the Greece/EU currency crisis:
And some Ron Paul thrown in for good measure:
Still think government is good? Argue your case on the forums!

Winston Churchill said that democracy is the worst form of government except for all the other forms that have been tried. So why don’t we try freedom instead?
Here is Ryan Faulk on the inherent barbarism of democracy:
This video also ties in nicely with the challenge of Sharia law and democracy.

Those who read this site regularly know how I feel about government advertising, so it’s of little surprise to discover that the Government is now officially Britain’s biggest advertiser:
The Central Office of Information spent £207.9 million on advertising last year, more than any other organisation, according to Marketing magazine.
The next biggest spender was Procter and [...]
Here’s an interesting quote from “The Department of Communities and Local Government”:
“The Budget commits the government to delivering radical freedoms and flexibilities for local agencies. All local councils in England will benefit from the removal of at least 10 per cent of the current National Indicator set”
Constantly Furious sums it up perfectly, and made me actually [...]

Government goals and quotas sound like a good idea to increase productivity, and I’m sure the bureaucrats who come up with these arbitrary figures are well meaning. In order to bribe their constituents for votes they have to come up with something. However, as usual in politics, well meaning acts have unintended consequences. A case in point:
Another [...]
I pretty much ignore mainstream media as best I can, but occasionally when I’m driving I will listen to the radio, and when I do, I am bombarded by retarded government adverts. If they’re not warning you to take a rest when driving, they’re trying to scare you about the dangers of drugs. The other [...]

David Cameron has described his party’s platform as “bold and radical” but in actuality, it is a load of wank. To illustrate, let’s take a look at the “six themes” they are planning to contest the election on:
Act now on debt to get the economy moving
Get Britain working by boosting enterprise
Make Britain the most family-friendly [...]
I have come to believe that a limited government, of the kind argued for by many libertarians, is a dead end. I’m talking about the people who argue that a government’s sole functions should be to provide national defence, policing, and the courts. Some also include things like the roads, pollution roads or even fire [...]
