THE FREEDOM FORUM 2014


The Liberty Leauge Freedom Forum is an annual student focused event that happened this year over the weekend of April 11th. £30 paid for attendance, food and boarding at a very good hostel called Clink78. The event is organised through the partnership of various think tanks including The Institute of Economic Affairs and The Adam Smith Institute with the aim of promoting free thought, libertarianism and critical thinking.

Speakers included speakers such as Ted Malloch and James Bartholomew (who kindly signed my copy of 'The Welfare State We're In' while also including panels on working in media, interview techniques and other workshops.

I left with plenty of free things, including a few huge books by Ann Rand courtesy of donors to the Ann Rand Institute, and a reading list as long as my arm. In many cases many participants already knew each other from events organised by the Young Britons Foundation, but despite this a lone traveller such as myself was welcomed and included.

In the end I left with a few new friends and hope to see more people there next year!
