You Don't need No stinking Self-Defence

Boy, 14, and accomplice 'kicked man to death after he found them burgling a house'

Bailed to murder: Gang of teenage hoodies kicked former soldier to death for £5 they wanted to spend on booze and drugs



Taking into account the routine nature of the scenarios above, With dogmatic confidence the Powers that Be will still proclaim you wrong to suggest that the victims in these cases should have been armed with a gun, can of pepperspray, or even a club. After all, should weapons be legally available to carry by the law abiding, feral youths like this would have surely been carrying them to murder and obtain small change.

Or, is it that these hyped up wild animals, rather than commit calculative murder, see a chance to satisfy their sadistic urges and flex their muscles for the rush instead? Would effective weapons legally available for defensive purposes mean we'd have a shot victim or several shot thugs?

I'm curiously speculative as to whether any of these undeserving, press adorned anti-weapon zealots could honestly look into the eyes of one of these victims and say that had they have been armed with a weapon, things would have been worse? Would they proudly proclaim a rape victim as a model citizen for not carrying a groin-taylored dagger and instead laying down and giving in? After all, according to them there is "No possible excuse" for carrying a weapon and jail should be awarded to you should you dare to not comply.

I seriously wonder if asked whether they'd choose between a pistol or a mobile phone when confronted by an AIDs ridden crackhead, they'd proudly accept the later?

The slimy truth is, they have the audacity to demand that we do.

How Much ?

Bankers -- take your wealth and expertise, and...

I hope when you read this your jaw hits floor as hard and quickly as mine did...

A Financial Services Bill will offer tough new powers to City regulators to tear up bankers' contracts if they include excessive pay and bonus deals.

In an upbeat podcast on the Downing Street website, Mr Brown said Britain had a "bright future" ahead of it after the economic difficulties of the past year.
...
Chancellor Alistair Darling said the Financial Services Authority would get new powers to stop bankers pocketing big bonuses.

There would also be powers to cancel pay packages which rewarded undue risk-taking.

Legislation to be unveiled on Wednesday will also enable the FSA to require banks to renegotiate remuneration packages which breach its pay code.

Banks that continue to offer unjustifiable sums face being fined by the regulator.

What to say? This is simply mental. Even if we ignore the fact that this will not avert any future financial crisis there is still a shed load of things wrong with this.

First, it's just one big up yours to anyone working in the banking sector. They could have only made it worse by saying, "Take all your money and expertise and .... ... to Singapore with Jim Rogers..."

However, what is much more worrying about this is the precedent it sets. If the Government can set the wages of Bankers what's to stop them doing the same for other private sector workers?

Well, if we look at all the other precedents breeched by this Government -- for example RIPA -- nothing at all.

Seriously, if you have a decent amount of capital behind you and some skills just leave this country. Because I think they're just hitting nails into the coffin for fun now.

Operation Health Freedom

Here are a couple of interesting videos from the Campaign For Liberty's "Operation Health Freedom" on why socialised, state-run health care doesn't work.

First, another video from Dan Hannan who is once again up to his 'dirty, un-patriotic tricks'...

And second the excellent Andrew Napolitano of Freedom Watch fame...

Chris Mounsey LPUK At Libertarian Alliance

LAConf09, Chris Mounsey: "The UK Libertarian Party" from Sean Gabb on Vimeo.

Fight for Liberty Today

One of the main aims of the LPUK over the next 12 months is to convert ourselves from an online talking-shop into a real-world, campaign based, political party.

Now of course this is going to be quite a task given the resources at our disposal and the opposition we face. However, we are already making good progress towards this goal.

Gavin Webb, the UK's only Libertarian Councilor, has put together the website freemancampaigns.com to help Libertarians easily produce campaign material so they can organise in their local area.

Also in the South East we have already run our first campaign day in St Albans and we have many more planned.

So, how can you help us fight for liberty? Simple, you can give us one of two things. You can give us your time or a little of your money.

If you have time available and you live in the South East join our activists group and help us organise our campaign days. Or if you live elsewhere in the UK join freemancampaigns.com and start organising with your party branch in your local area.

But if like many of us you are very busy you can donate just a few quid to help us run our campaigns. For example -- for every £200 we raise we can print over 10,000 flyers or more than 5,000 newsletters which will help us promote the Party and libertarianism. Donations can be made on our website or you can transfer money directly to our Acc. No. 92635313 Sort Code 40-28-20.

If you can spare a little of the above you will make a big difference and helps us Fight for Liberty Today.

Brown -- can a Prime Minister be more out of touch?

It's quite clear that of all the statists from around the world we could have running our country we have the worst.

Brown is now so out of touch that even his fellow statists think he's nuts after he announced his transaction tax plan...

Although officials later insisted that the UK was not wedded to the idea of a transactions levy – often termed a “Tobin tax” – the prime ministers’ intervention sparked an unusual degree of criticism from the G20, where delegations are increasingly irritated by his attempts to browbeat them into new policies.

Tim Geithner, the US Treasury secretary said: “A day-by-day financial transactions tax is not something we are prepared to support”, while Dominique Strauss Kahn, the head of the International Monetary Fund repeated his long-standing position that a Tobin tax is “a very old idea that is not really possible today”. One G20 official sensed there was no ripping enthusiasm for Mr Brown’s ideas across the G20.

But even more odd was Brown's statement that...

"It cannot be acceptable that the benefits of success in this sector are reaped by the few but the costs of its failure are borne by all of us"

This clearly shows Brown has absolutely no grasp of reallity. Given that it was he and his Government that bailed out the banks and made sure we all bore the costs of their failure.

I'm just wondering what he'll do next. Maybe he'll come out as a flat-earther.
