Guy Montrose out Jul 17, 2015

Guy Montrose out by Simon Gibbs • Jun 29, 2015 • The LPUK website has had a refresh and lists the following: Simon Walmsley – Acting Chairman Well hello Simon, but wait – no Guy Montrose? Enquiries on Facebook show Guy is taking a “break from politics”. Since Guy joined LPUK notably more had been done, but I always said he was driving down a dead end in which the party would be unable to accept TV interviews or rise to any degree of prominence. I was recently proved right on that, and perhaps the effect has been to put Guy off spending...

LPUK is getting through press officers Jul 17, 2015

LPUK is getting through press officers by Simon Gibbs • Jun 16, 2015 • The Libertarian Party has appointed a new Press Officer named David Parry, a poet and wiccan, effective this Thursday. Strangely, the website lists someone called Sean Clarke as in charge of “Press & Promotion”, but that was not David’s predecessor. The guy who wore that badge at Liberty League looked very different indeed. So many press people in so little time is a sign of trouble at the mill. Strangely David Parry is a (politically incorrect, or worse) “National Anarchist”. National Anarchism is a new one on me, but regardless...

The Costs of Control Jul 17, 2015

The Costs of Control by Simon Gibbs • Jul 9, 2015 • As a software developer I want to tell you some things about autonomy, so that the story below makes sense. Autonomy is really very important in software development. The reason has absolutely nothing to do with computers and everything to do with economics. If you want a really very clear self-aware and powerful example of Hayek at work then join a modern software development project. This is what a modern project team takes for granted: We do not know the solution. We should try stuff and see what works empirically. We...

Could Rand Paul inspire the UK government? Jul 17, 2015

Could Rand Paul inspire the UK government? Senator Rand Paul has caught the world’s attention and infuriated his own party by taking on one of the most powerful forces imaginable – the US security apparatus. Behind the drama there are deep currents, a tale of sex, drugs, violence and conservatism. Senator Paul has, almost single-handedly, blocked the extension of the Patriot Act, seen by its opponents as the USA’s very own snooper’s charter. It takes some guts to stand in the way of the US spy agencies, if only for a short while. You might even think it an unconservative,...
