From the Libertarian Alliance
Week Ending 14th July 2025
Dear All,
Another week of publishing, and another set of essays that challenge, provoke, and inform. From philosophical questions about policing and monarchy, to the grim facts of war in Gaza, to sceptical takes on Ozempic and the “vaccines,” our writers continue to provide the analysis that the mainstream avoids. Please read, circulate, and support as you can.
Yours in Liberty,
Sean

🏠 Rebuilding the Foundations of Homeownership

🧠 Bryan Mercadente: A Beautiful Mind and an Ugly Soul
A blistering attack on one of our teenage essayist whose cult of beauty is joined by a disdain for fatness and weakness. What does it say about our society that a child can think—and write—like this?

🌱 The UK Climate and Nature Bill: Local Councils Sign Up Without Asking Us

📚 Coercion: How Kylie Cheung Turns Abuse into Feminist Fan Fiction

🕊 Antinous the God: Sex, Power, and the Pagan Alternative to Christ

👷 Labour Shortages Are Good for the Workers
