Perhaps they don't use it as their current postal address.<br /><br />In any case, there isn't all that much analysis for me to dissent to here. Our report is about the future costs (about to be imposed by the Coalition Government) of keeping energy intensive industries in the UK. Future expected costs (obviously) effect current market conditions. Your critique is more of a background check on Civitas, rather than an examination of our argument. And what else could it be, if you would rather not read it.Nick Cowenhttp://www.civitas.org.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-52328801322338056562011-05-24T10:56:45.752+01:002011-05-24T10:56:45.752+01:00Nick, thanks for looking in and taking the time to...Nick, thanks for looking in and taking the time to comment.<br /><br />If only time permitted me to be a book reviewer as well! I'll have to pass on your generous offer.<br /><br />I note that you do not otherwise dissent from my analysis. There is a difference between Liberal and Libertarian, and according to their website, No2ID are based on Crawford Street in Marylebone.<br /><br />Perhaps you were thinking of Big Brother Watch, which is effectively part of the TPA?Tim Fentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00726447899972084146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-76963838078236583082011-05-24T09:34:58.993+01:002011-05-24T09:34:58.993+01:00Actually, the report refers to a study, Chain Reac...Actually, the report refers to a study, Chain Reactions, that should be on general release sometime next week: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Chain-Reactions-Chemical-Industry-Footprint/dp/1906837201/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1306226003&sr=1-2<br /><br />We would be delighted to send you a copy if you would be interested in evaluating the report on the merits of the content as well as the address at which it was written (the same building address as liberal groups such as No2ID, so not ideologically monolithic).Nick Cowenhttp://www.civitas.org.uknoreply@blogger.com
