Over 60 years old and needed more than ever! The SIF is an association of libertarians, classical liberals and others who seek to promote responsible individual freedom.

The SIF was established in the United Kingdom in 1942 by amalgamation of the Society of Individualists, which itself had origins a century earlier in the 1840s, with the National League for Freedom. It is independent of all political parties, and relies entirely on voluntary subscriptions and donations.

We campaign for more personal freedom, so for example we are opposed to censorship and compulsory ID cards. We campaign for more economic freedom, so for example we support non-state provision of healthcare, welfare and education and also a genuine free enterprise system instead of collusion between the state and big business.

Amongst other achievements, in 1959 we launched the campaign for an Ombudsman to protect the individual against bureaucratic maladministration, success coming in 1967 with the creation of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration. In 1994 the SIF published a book, The Power to Destroy, a study of the British tax system, by Professor David Myddelton, which was distributed free to universities throughout the UK.
