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]

Basra, Basra, its a hell of a town! This is from the ‘The Basra Rose’, the Iraq deployment section of the Red Rose, the newsletter of the 1st Battalion The Queen’s Lancashire Regiment:
WEATHER
Mon – HOT
Tue – VERY HOT
Wed – UNBELIEVABLY HOT
Thu – SO HOT YOU’LL CRY
Fri – AS HOT AS THE SUN
Sat – SO HOT LOCALS BURST INTO FLAMES
Sun – AS HOT AS THE DEVIL’S SCROTUM
In other words, it is a tad hot in Basra. Just so you know.

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.

Gee, Samizdata embracing the nutty theory of Global Warming!?
Gee, our reader’s having a humour bypass!?
Sorry, it’s the heat, you know…
I know. ‘s OK. But you won’t find support for Global Warming here.
How would they know how hot the devil’s scrotum is? Did the devil come in for a physical recently? 🙂
Forget Basra, its Adriana who is so hot it is making me cry.
Please, tell me those poor sods in Basra at least get a decent ration of cold beer every day when they’re off duty.
Actually, that’s looking remarkably like
the week’s weather forecast for England!
I feel like I’m sitting inside the devil’s sporran, but it is in fact an office in South London.
If this keeps up the UK will finally have to get to grips with the concept of air-conditioning which has eluded us for so long.
