Originally posted by Lucy View PostThatcher liberalised a lot, but you cannot say it was a socially liberal era. Little was done to reduce the role of the state in education and health, where it continues to perform abysmally. It was perhaps the only time in the last 100 years or so when there was some significant rollback of the state, and there is no sign in the Conservative party today of any interest in restricting the role of the state.
well saidLet us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

Originally posted by Marina View PostLucy, can I ask if you believe in the death penalty?
A purist libertarian doesn't approve of preventative interventionist policing, such as security cameras and ID cards, which impact on the law abiding. But the flip side is that one must have very harsh deterrents to people making seriously wrong criminal choices such as rape and murder.
To a large extent I share that philosophy. But the point I'm making is that libertarianism is not always compatible with humanitarianism. You can't have your cake and eat it!
Well some do, and some don't. Since the state makes mistakes, taking someone's life isn't something I'd risk the state doing. This is a secondary argument, the issue is not should there be a dealth penalty, but what is a crime. Libertarians would review criminal justice.
On another point, how is the death penalty and humanitarianism? Some would say - harsh penalties should equal harsh deterrants.Comment
