Chris Tame, the founder of Britain’s Libertarian Alliance, died two years ago today. As is so often the case, Sean Gabb says it best.
“But he has now been dead two years. No one can possibly replace him as a centre of gravity for the British libertarian movement. At first or second hand, he inspired every libertarian alive in this country. When the history of British libertarianism is written, it will be seen that all the lines of continuity between the nineteenth and twenty first centuries run through Chris.
Chris is dead. But he is not forgotten; and as time goes by, his memory will be more cherished.”

I’m another libertarian in the UK who got involved through Chris Tame in the days when the LA ran the Alternative Bookshop in London.

It’s too bad the bookshop is not still open, I’d love to stop by.
