The Society for Individual Freedom (http://www.individualist.org.uk)
is pleased to announce that its next guest speaker will be David Carr.

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.

Sounds interesting. Mind you I thought libertarianism had died a death
with Thatcherism. I seem to remember hearing of libertarians who
advocated legalising heroin.
