Another busy week so blogging may be light.
It's the third of our Voices of Freedom series of debates tomorrow and this time we're discussing 'Risk and the Pursuit of Happiness: is smoking, drinking, gambling good for you?'.
Chaired by Angela Harbutt of Liberal Vision, the discussion will feature Dr Patrick Basham (Democracy Institute), Mark Littlewood (IEA), cigar consultant Simon Chase and gambling addict Jake Brindell.
Venue: IEA, 2 Lord North Street, Westminster
Drinks from 6.15pm, discussion from 7.00pm.
'Is smoking good for you?' is a question I thought readers of Taking Liberties might like to answer, especially if you can't attend the actual event.
We know about the potential health risks but David Hockney, for example, has often argued that smoking is good for his mental health. What about you? And is smoking good for you in other ways?
And what about drinking? Or indeed gambling.
I will forward your comments to the chairman, Angela Harbutt, who may be able to include them in the discussion.
