Here are collected some of Bapton Books' position papers from the past three years, and other critical writings by Mr Pyle and Mr Wemyss. Provocative – not to say, provoking – and all too often prescient, these papers detail the dirty work at the crossroads where the culture, law, politics, and policy intersect.

We live in a time in which 'advocacy' and indeed democratic politics are far too regularly degenerating into objective fascism; in which liberty is under assault at home; and in which quite evident fascists and tyrants abroad are on the march. There is a remedy: the full-throated defence of freedom, by all of us, together, on all sides of all issues. You may find the prescription – the mixture as before – in these pages.

Bapton Books Position Papers aim to inform, to question, to educate, to assert, to challenge, to analyse, and, always, to spark debate. They are made available to the reading public and to all who are intelligently interested in the affairs of the day.
