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]

Lies, lies and more lies I am sick to death of the BBC, I really am. How anybody can even try to suggest that it is an objective news source is beyond me. The paranoid, ranting, ‘Little Englander’, anti-EU, xenophobic mentality is clear for all to see:
The 12-nation eurozone is in even worse economic trouble than previously thought.
How can this be anything but complete garbage? It is high time that the BBC was exposed as the extreme right-wing, capitalistic, Bushista, warmongering propoganda tool that it really is!

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.

I wonder when Pluto Press will admit they were dumb to back out of the book project we had together in 1996 where I was predicting exactly how this would all happen in Euroland?
Heh
Right Wing BBC?
Damned straight! They should come here to America and learn honest reporting from the New York Times!!!
I don’t know if the EU is in worse trouble than “previously thought.” Note the carefully passive construction of that sentence. Thought by who, exactly? Plenty of folks have been saying for years that the EU was in serious economic trouble. I suspect that this sentence should more accurately read
“The 12-nation eurozone is in even worse economic trouble than we have previously cared to reveal.”
Quite right, they’ve even rigged their Great Americans poll by permitting the inclusion of such authoritarian idols as Jefferson and Washington–thereby dangerously implying that the lummox-country ought to be taken seriously, rather than accurately represented by a fictional fatso. (Look here if you don’t believe me.)
