The SIF hosts talks two or three times a year in central London.

These talks are open to the public and are free of charge although a donation is always welcome. Recent speakers have included Dr Sean Gabb (Libertarian Alliance), Dr Helen Szamuely (EU Referendum blog), Dr Syed Kamall (MEP for London), Dr Mark Pennington (Institute for Economic Affairs), Dr Robert Lefever (PROMIS recovery unit and primary care unit) and Nick Seaton (Campaign for Real Education).

We normally hold a luncheon at the House of Commons or the House of Lords once a year.


PUBLIC TALK

6.30pm, Monday, 9th June 2008

Westminster Arms (upstairs room), 9 Storey’s Gate, London, SW1P 3AT

David Carr

‘‘Libertarian patriot’: An oxymoron?’

 Is loyalty to your country compatible with being a libertarian? And if you are loyal then what is it, exactly, that commands your loyalty? Or should libertarians hold the entire idea in contempt and be truly internationalist?

David Carr is a lawyer and businessman who works and lives in London. He is the Libertarian Alliance Director of Legal affairs, a sometime blogger and an occasional media talking head.
