Concern about immigration was one of the reasons why the Brexit camp won. In the post-referendum recriminations, it has led to the Brexiters being denounced as xenophobes. The Campaign as such does not have a view on anything other than LVT, and certainly not something as sensitive and controversial as immigration. However, migration certainly has economic consequences. These underpin the whole...

The Campaign as such never had a view on whether Scotland should be independent. Scotland suffers from the disadvantage of being distant both from the main centres of population in Great Britain, and also from the ports in the South-East that provide easy connections to mainland Europe. Thus, since the decline of the heavy industry which was the mainstay of the Scottish economy, the country has...

The Campaign does not have a view on Scottish independence. One of the factors behind this movement must surely be the sense that wealth is being sucked out of Scotland into the centre of power and government, which means London. This is occurring through the tax system by government, and through the extraction of rental value by the financial system. The same problems are experienced in the peripheral...

No reflection on Tallink who owns the rather blingy ship which sails on the Tallinn-Stockholm route. Comfortable cabins, nice food and all the crew and staff speak English.

The LibDems somehow managed to hold on to Eastleigh at the by-election, and the Spring Conference is on this week at Brighton, so where is the party going? It has certainly not distinguished itself by supporting this disastrous Coalition, nor has it made matters any better when leading figures like Vince Cable have been pushing ludicrous proposals such as the Mansion Tax. Cable has no excuse since...

On Friday, Caroline Lucas, Green Party MP for Brighton Pavilion, will have the opportunity to present the case for LVT in her Private Member’s Bill, which would “Require the Secretary of State to commission a programme of research into the merits of replacing the Council Tax and Non-domestic rates in England with an annual levy on the unimproved value of all land, including transitional...

The two Ronnies were hilarious. The two Ronniseals are a dreadful pair. Following their mid-term ‘spectacular’, the Downing Street joke book has been binned and a new version commissioned. David Cameron began the show quoting the advertising slogan “it does exactly what it says on the tin.” But when he held the tin up to the cameras, all that could be seen were the dabs...

The Justice Party has been re-launched in Denmark. The party’s policies are uncompromisingly Georgist. Britain’s electoral system means that such a party would get nowhere in Britain. The only value in fighting elections would be to get publicity. However, given the recent experience of elections where the candidates have declared their support for LVT, the publicity that can be gained...

These thoughts are prompted by an article by George Monbiot in today’s Guardian.

It is depressing how some of our own supporters can lose their way. ALTER, the LibDem group, seems to have suffered this fate with the publication of a Position Paper giving support to the idea of Community Land Auctions (CLA), a brainchild of Tim Leunig, a member of the staff at the London School of Economics. The idea, which is less than straightforward, is explained in the ALTER position paper....
