Maverick Club

The Maverick Club was associated with the libertarian anti-environmental LM network. It was a dinner and debating club founded and run by LM associates Jan Macvarish "Jan Macvarish", Debating Matters website, accessed 4 July 2010 and Tony Gilland. Maverick Club was active between around 1998 Meet, think and be merry Guardian website, acc 8 Feb 2011 "Jan McVarish", Debating Matters website, accessed 6 Nov 2010 "Man, Beast and Zombie", MediaMarket website, accessed 31 May 2010 and 2002. "One More Step? The Case for Colonising Mars", JISC website, accessed 15 November 2010 Amongst its speakers was LM associate Kenan Malik. "Jan McVarish", Amazon website, accessed 4 November 2010
==Beyond orthodoxy?==
According to a report on the Lobbywatch website, one of those who ran the Maverick club was Tony Gilland, at the time he is the Science and Society Director at the Institute of Ideas (IoI) which 'claims to be all about opening up public debate. Its declared mission is to go beyond the "orthodoxies" that "narrow discussion", and the impression created is one of ardent support for free speech.'Lobbywatch Inside LM, accessed 11 November 2010
One of those invited to the club to give a talk contacted Lobbywatch. 'The people at the dinner', the source said 'were mainly under 35 and reasonably well off - it was a GBP40 dinner.' The invitation had come from the Club's leading light, Tony Gilland.
To the 'astonishment', of the guest, 'when the dinner took place, only the opposing speaker was given the opportunity to put her point of view. As a result, the person who contacted us tried to respond from the floor, arguing against what had been said. "Tony Gilland, who was chairing the event, then aided and abetted the audience into literally howling me down. Their howls when I tried to speak were astounding. A cross between a coven and a very nasty gang of teenagers."'
According to Lobbywatch, 'The only comparable experience the speaker had ever had was in a debate on violent pornography at a cult film theatre.' On that occasion "the audience had been dressed entirely in black leather - not one person was dressed in any other colour. They too howled at me and one man raised his arm and pointed it at me like a gun and shouted, 'Freedom is the barrel of a gun!' - and was cheered."

Max Beloff Centre for the Study of Liberty

In 2002, the University of Buckingham took initial steps to start up a new think-tank, the Max Beloff Centre for the Study of Liberty, for which it recruited several new members of staff - most notably Roger Scruton, Anthony O'Hear, Dennis O'Keeffe, and Chris WoodheadNews, BUCKINGHAM WELCOMES ROGER SCRUTON AND ANTHONY O'HEAR, University of Buckingham, 17-September-2002, Accessed via Internet Archive 11-January-2003 on 01-September-2010Guardian.co.uk, The Third Degree, The Guardian, 16-September-2002, Accessed 01-September-2010.
The centre was created in January 2005, in memory of Max Beloff, 'in order to 'create a countervailing institution that will reinforce the value of liberty'. The rationale behind the think tank is that:
:'Liberty has underpinned the Judeo-Christian ideal for millennia, and it was the idea of liberty that moulded Europe. Britain, too, was forged by liberty, and British leadership in commerce and politics flowed out of the Glorious Revolution of 1688 which established the Bill of Rights and the rule of law'
According to the centre, the perceived threat to 'liberty' comes from 'governments and their apologists who seek to over-tax and over-regulate'.The Max Beloff Centre for the Study of Liberty, The Max Beloff Centre for the Study of Liberty, University of Buckingham, Accessed 02-September-2010 
==2009 Conference: Classical Liberalism in the 21st century: A Symposium in the honour of Norman P Barry==
In March 2009 a conference was held at the Max Beloff Centre entitled 'Classical Liberalism in the 21st century: A Symposium in the honour of Norman P Barry'. The aim of the conference was 'to consider the sustainability of the classical liberal position in the early 21st century and to discuss the contribution of the late Professor Norman Barry's life and work to the defence of this position.In Honour of Norman Barry, Conference at Buckingham University to celebrate the work of Norman Barry, Institute of Economic Affairs, 30-January-2009, Accessed 03-September-2010 Barry had been Professor of Social and Political Theory at the University since 1984. 'Originally planned for his retirement, the symposium became a fitting commemoration for him following his death in October 2008.

=='America should be the world’s policeman'==
In 2008 Boot attended a debate sponsored by Robert Rosenkranz, arguing (with Michael Mandelbaum and Douglas Murray) for the motion 'America should be the world’s policeman'. The conservative English journalist Matthew Parris, who argued against the notion commented:
Both Murray and Boot and Michael Mandelbaum, too clever for the mob on their own side, represent one of the most interesting political experiments in outsourcing ever conducted -- U.S. conservatism’s franchising out to experts of its higher mental faculties. Their function, they’re a kind of priesthood, is to flatter stupider people that there exist higher arguments, smarter than they themselves can quite grasp, for things that they wanted to do anyway. They should be here in white robes. Intelligence Square, Transcript of 'America should be the world’s policeman'

After splitting with Trotsky over the latter's support for the Soviet Union in the Russo-Finnish War, Shachtman formed the Workers Party. In 1948, the Party was renamed the Independent Socialist League (ISL).
In 1953, Shachtman helped Michael Harrington instigate the Young People's Socialist League (YPSL)'s split with its parent organisation, the Socialist Party. The following year, the YPSL merged with the ISL's Socialist Youth League to form the Young Socialist League.Maurice Isserman, The Other American: The Life of Michael Harrington, PublicAffairs, 2001, p.124.
In 1958, the ISL successfully challenged its inclusion on the US Attorney-General's Subversive List.Albert Glotzer, MAX SHACHTMAN – A POLITICAL-BIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY, marxists.org, accessed 10 January 2013. 
In late 1958, the ISL dissolved itself into the Socialist Party which had newly merged with the Social Democratic Federation.Robert Jackson Alexander, International Trotskyism, 1929-1985: A Documented Analysis of the Movement, Duke University Press, 1991, p.899.
