The Libertarian Alliance: BLOG

… BE THERE …

Here are the details:

UKIP Rally, the Great Hall, Streatham Campus, Stocker Rd, off Prince of
Wales Road, Exeter University, EX4 4PZ

Saturday 8th March 2008 …. 

At 3.25 pm, Dr Sean Gabb, Director of the libertarian Alliance, will speak on the topic:

“National Independence is not Enough”

 Other speakers will include: Graham Booth MEP, Christopher Gill, Prof Tim Congdon, Lord Pearson of Rannoch, Nigel Farage, Lisa Duffy, Marc Glendenning, David Jones (deputy, the Estates of Guernsey) Roger Knapman, Trevor Colman, and Richard Heaslip. 

It will be interesting, nearer the time as is always the case (for the enemy chooses his moment well) to see if the Marxist Nazi “students” and “concerned academics” get this meeting either banned or at least a little bit “jostled”, using their “workers” and storm-students.

… “Jacqui” Smith, the INTERIOR-MINISTER (or should that be Die GeheimStatzPolizei-Führerin ….. ? ) …..

David Davis

…. does not realise it!

Here is a useful and well-thought critique of what’s going-on-down in the Interior-Ministry Home Office.

How can even STATISTS give jobs like jailer-in-chief to people called “JACQUI” ???? It makes you wanna-’avv-a-luff ….. They should be called “Gertrude”, or “Prudence”, or … oh, who cares? Whoever you vote for, the guvmint will get in anyway.

…. worse, in the short term.

David Davis

Libertarians of the world must be gnashing their teeth at the charade in Parliament yesterday, in which an amendment to put the Lisbon Treaty EU Constitution to a national referendum was lost. The entire political history and culture of the Mother Nation of individual freedom as a counterwight to tyranny (can you name one other for me?) is being obliterated. The MPs are voting to give away sovereignty leased temporarily to them, which is not their to give.

Here’s how they voted: (NB I have NOT listed the abstainers yet, which I predict would have made the vote closer if (most of) them had voted in line with their private beliefs or those of their electors!)

NB: Abstainers are now listed at the end of the post.

If he runs true to form, he will be emboldened. Expect even worse to come.
Posted by Tam on March 6, 2008 9:01 AM  3THE REAL PEOPLEQuestion to BrownMy Dad was a quiet and reserved gentleman who took up arms to preserve the life and freedoms of England for his future generations. My uncle spent 4 years in a Japanese prison of war camp and had his achiles tendons slashed for trying to escape (his life was shortened by that experience). Five of my other uncles also fought in the second world war for the same reasons. One of my Aunt got caught up in this aand became one of the ‘Tenko’ women and her only son was born while on the march.Why?That is why I will never forgive you.
Posted by Jill on March 5, 2008 9:11 PM  I have included sundry stuff attached to the bottom, to illustrate to readers around the world who may not be “au fait” with the local detail, how people feel about this matter.

And here are the abstainers:

LABOUR - Diane Abbott, John Battle, Ann Cryer, Paul Flynn, Neil Gerrard, Patrick Hall, Glenda Jackson, Ian McCartney, John MacDougall, John Prescott, Ian Stewart, Rudi Vis, Claire Ward, Tony Wright.
TORY
John Maples and Ian Taylor
OTHERS
Jeffrey Donaldson, Ian Paisley, Iris Robinson, Mark Durkan, Alisdair McDonnell, Eddie McGrady, Andrew Pelling, Clare Short.
24 MPs in total.

I hope these MPs will feel as much of a backlash as those who voted in favour of the treaty!
