The Society for Individual Freedom (www.individualist.org.uk) is
pleased to announce that its next guest speaker will be Dr Syed Kamall
MEP.

Writes Syed, "In May 2005, I became a Member of the European
Parliament.   As someone who believes that competition and open markets
are the best way to generate wealth and economic growth, I was quite
sure that my free-market, classical liberal instincts would guide my
actions when voting on proposed European legislation.   Alas, it has
not been quite that simple."  Syed will explain why...
