The IPA and a strong left voice

Submitted by Noel Conway on Sun, 10/03/2013 - 7:05pm

The Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) is a body formed to push a right wing agenda. let us say that their agenda is very right wing. The believe in the smallest of government, individual liberty, private wealth, low taxation, and the market economy, unencumbered by government regulation.

I write about this group because I see a chasm between who is being represented int he main stream media. The IPA floods the media with opinion pieces which oft are printed. There is no balance of contributions from the left.

taken to Cherbourg they were cut off from their

restored and call The Ration Shed Museum.
We use the Ration Shed as a space to tell our stories."
