Introduction
Greetings to all on this rather dispiriting
Empire Day!
Here, to entertain or instruct, is a fairly
complete listing of Libertarian Alliance
publications from the past few months.
I am
pleased to say that our
Blog has now been joined by several
other contributors, and that it is now
easily the most active and intellectually
rigorous libertarian blog in Britain.
Persistence aside, we have achieved this in
a number of ways. First, we insist on good
writing. Second, we insist on writing at
length. Third we make a point of not
moderating comments unless they seem likely
to get us into trouble with the authorities.
The result is comfort in diversity.
This
can be seen to best effect, perhaps, in our
extended symposium on the Legacy of Margaret
Thatcher. Here, comments range from the
savage to the eulogistic. She was always a
divisive figure among libertarians, and it
would have been ridiculous not to let this
be reflected in our coverage. This drew wide
attention. My own essays on her were
republished in newspapers all over the
world, and one of them was reprinted by
The Independent.
I have grouped essays roughly in order of
theme, though This should be seen as a very
rough grouping.
If you want to contribute to our Blog as an
author, do contact me. Otherwise, feel free
to comment on any of the published essays.
Frequently, the comments are at least as
interesting as the main posting. This is
partly because we tend to attract
intelligent and fluent commenters, and
partly because, as said, we hardly ever
moderate what comments are posted.
As ever, I give some attention to the novels
of Richard Blake. He is England's only
libertarian novelist published within the
mainstream. You can buy any of his books by
following the links on the right sidebar of
our Blog.
Otherwise, do feel free to make a financial
donation to our efforts. The Libertarian
Alliance is a unique institution in England
and within the libertarian movement at
large. We are outspoken on issues where
other people duck for cover. We receive no
corporate support. Our budget is so minimal,
I no longer strain credulity by revealing
it. Please add to it! Go
here to donate.
