Chris R. Tame (1949-2006) was for many years the face of British libertarianism. Tame discovered Ayn Rand’s work when he was seventeen and quickly became a libertarian. Having been involved with established organisations such as the Society for Individual Freedom and the Institute for Economic Affairs, and dismayed by the lack of an explicitly libertarian organisation in the UK, he and a few others broke away to found what was later to become the Libertarian Alliance, of which he was the first director. His activism also involved a highly successful period as director of the smokers’ rights organisation, FOREST. He died of bone cancer on 20th March 2006.
Recorded by his successor as director of the Libertarian Alliance, Sean Gabb, these interviews show Chris Tame at his very best, speaking on a wide range of issues without inhibition. By this time, Tame could no longer be described as an “orthodox” libertarian. Nevertheless, they support the statement that he was the most interesting and insightful libertarian of his day.

Well said
Which book is he talking about
interesting commentary. he points out that no one actually likes that so-called "art." if anyone tries to tell me that i am stupid for preferring kincaid over pollick, for example, i ask them to take a very simple test. if you can be alone in a room with [fill in the blank here with some work of "art"], with no one else around to impress or whom to feel superior, and you actually get something out of it, then you know that you really like it. otherwise, it is just pretentious, pompous posturing.
