This is a guestpost from Wiggia, a writer at NO but as it seems an OoL type article, it appears here as well. I am currently in the process of moving house and the first hiccup and reading a small piece over at the Boiling Frog site a short while ago in a similar vein gave me the impetus to put this all down on this blog – self indulgent,…
William Hague: In my case, from a philosophical viewpoint, you have to err on the side of freedom. The Spectator is clear enough on it: Lord Justice Leveson reports at 1.30pm [today] and David Cameron has blocked out 90 minutes in parliament to respond. The big question is this: will he introduce state licensing of the media? A group of 42 Tory MPs wants him to, and No.10 apparently thinks…
Back in June, readers of the Guido Fawkes blog voted to decide which Bill I should present to Parliament. Although our Bill was unsuccessful, the initiative showed that it is possible for the priorities of those in SW1 to be determined more directly by the people they claim to represent. I am writing to you now because this week I have a book out – The End of Politics and the Birth of…

We are having some technical issues and apologize for that.. Firstly, comments are being held and/or spammed which are perfectly OK. That is not us but something technical, guys. They’ve been posted for now but why it’s happening is one we need to explore. Secondly, a post of mine on Grand Illusion shouldn’t have gone out and as SAofT pointed out, there was code all over it. That was because…

More of the same old tricks: (Washington, D.C., Tuesday, March 20, 2012) The Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation released today a policy brief highlighting the severe economic damage that would result from adoption of an IRS proposal (REG-146097-09) to require U.S. banks to put foreign law above U.S. law by reporting deposit interest paid to non-resident aliens. Entitled, “Proposed IRS Interest Reporting Regulation Threatens U.S. Economy,” the paper is…
April 19th, 2011 – we put up the first tentative “test” posts. April 25th, 2011 – Luikkerland opened for us officially with “Writing is the First Act of Rebellion” and we were away. It’s been a surprising run. Obviously there was going to be the initial rush for some time, with up to 37 authors listed and for various reasons, the bulk of those have dropped by he wayside – Orphans looked…
Orphans of Liberty would like to thank you all for your patronage since its inception and the fact that we’re still alive and kicking at this moment must say something, we suppose. To mark the occasion – a little festive cheer. First a nice little interactive number: If that was too strenuous, relax to the strains of Tchaikovsky: We wish you all the compliments of the season. For those celebrating…
Like many of you, the Orphans have been keeping an eye on the Roger Tattersall [Tallbloke] situation and have noted Anthony Watts’ [Watts Up with That] publishing of an appeal for Tallbloke. As El Reg put it: Police have targeted at least four climate bloggers in three countries, with constabulary taking computers and networking equipment from a science blogger in the UK. Roger Tattersall, aka “Tallbloke”, a Digital Content Manager…
It’s come to our attention that the feed button has ceased to work. It seems that Wikio is now dead and so a new button is in its place in the sidebar. Whether this alters the feed url we’re not sure and if so – sorry. Will you click again?
