Good to see blogger David Farrar keeping better company in Britain than he sometimes does back home. Rubbing shoulders with libertarians for two days at the conference of the UK Libertarian Alliance has got to make him a better person than does rubbing shoulders with local Nats, doesn't it -- and it sure shits all over paying homage to David Cameron.

Actually, he's now calling for higher taxes on tobacco:
As one example I have in the past been the recipient of some lovely hospitality from BAT. Nevertheless I am quite avidly anti-smoking and if I was ever an MP I would happily vote to increase taxation on it to as high as possible, without creating a black market in it. I would of course balance that with tax cuts elsewhere!
Sadly PC I think your optimism may be misplaced; he's a National (Socialist), not a Libertarian. At least not yet ...
