We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Bureaucratic amnesia strikes again Advocates of the imposition of irreversible transnational socialism (Trazi?) for Britain via the European Union, have long implausibly argued that it was a purely ‘economic matter’ rather than a political/constitutional issue. For the few credulous enough to actually believe that, the remarks of UK Treasury official Gus O’Donnell must have come as a bit of a shock.
Gus O’Donnell, the Treasury official charged with overseeing assessment of the tests, was cited in several newspapers on Friday as having said it would be impossible to reach a “clear and unambiguous” verdict on the tests. “Ultimately, it will be a political decision,” The Times quoted O’Donnell as telling a student seminar. But a Treasury spokesman said O’Donnell’s comments, taken from a careers presentation to a group of undergraduates in late November, had been “totally misrepresented”. “Mr O’Donnell has no recollection of saying ‘ultimately it will be a political decision’,” the Treasury spokesman said.
Ah, that explains it then.

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.
