Issue 393 of Liberator is on its way to subscribers.
Our first free sample article for this issue is by Sarah Green deploring the diversion of money and time caused by the way Vince Cable’s reform proposals were handled.
In the other free article, Liverpool group leader Richard Kemp explains why he for one is not a ‘moderate’.
Both are on: www.liberatormagazine.org.uk

First we need a public inventory of empty properties and how long and who owns them. We also need an automatic escalating increase in council tax on them. It is scandalous that any are empty for more than six months. Our land value tax would help enormously for the non-residential ones.
