Apart from the incredibly embarrassing correction that had to be made, that’s literally nothing in the scheme of government.

I’ve read WoN, TMS, LoJp, and THoA - what are you talking about?

A favourite turn of phrase by Senior Fellow is “to solve Britain’s problems, the first step is to make the TCPA go ‘kablooey’”

Baffling thing to say - ASI have released numerous papers over the past 3 years, launching the YIMBY Initiative and PricedOut, and have published dozens of blogs calling for the planning system to be torn down and restarted.

We’ve published 4 economics papers in the past 4 months.

We’ve published a single paper on immigration in the past year.

What are you talking about, Jonathan?

Since forever.

We’ve written numerous papers on drug legalisation, freedom of speech, opposition to a surveillance state, sex work decriminalisation, I can go on.
