Update - Good news

andrew tyrieIFA letter of the week

Andrew Tyrie MP has been appointed Chair of the Treasury Select Committee. The FSA fits the BIG STATE small citizen problem outlined by David Cameron and now the FSA is on the back foot and answerable to its critics!

Here is a more up to date link to "The Leviathan At Large", written in part by Andrew. Read the updated document.

The truth is to freedom what oxygen is to fire. You don't have to start this fire you only need to fan it! The more this information is used and passed on the greater the fire will burn! Why not take this document as a benchmark for your own representations?

Andrew Tyrie MP is now in a position to actually call the Leviathan to account.

In case you missed it:

The Talking Point: "New Chairman for the Treasury Select Committee"
Michael Fallon MP, and Andrew Tyrie MP are both good men and perhaps men that the FSA will not want to see heading the Treasury Select Committee. However, my vote is for Andrew Tyrie as he was the co author of the Leviathan at Large. For those of you that have read this document you will know that Andrew is well aware that the FSA is out of control, a Leviathan At Large! As a matter of general interest Harriet Baldwin MP also worked on this important document. Harriet was very supportive of the IFA cause at a recent meeting along with Robin Walker MP and Mark Garnier MP. This was the meeting criticized by Chris Cummings of AIFA on the basis that it risked upsetting other more diplomatic work with the likes of Mark Hoban MP. I fully support diplomacy but that rather assumes you have a dialog with a reasonable body rather than a Leviathan.

The Leviathan At Large is a must read and I encourage anyone with an interest in human rights to download their own copy ...and read it. Maybe there is light at the end of this very dark tunnel? The tide is turning, and the Leviathan may not be at large for much longer.
