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]

David Cameron as Shrek? We have been unkind to Conservative Party leader David Cameron at Samizdata, but I think he can count himself as having gotten off lightly compared with what they are doing to him at the EU Referendum blog. All I can say is that I agree with them completely.

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.

The greater unkindness is surely to Shrek: a “being” of simple desires and great judgement.
Best regards
I agree Nigel. Why be so beastly to Shrek? I think Cameron come all unstuck before the next election.
You cannot be too unkind to Cameron, he is clearly “not fit for purpose” as people will insist on saying. Why is he not involved in Parliament, Darfur is not really his problem at present, this country is. We have the most incompetant government that I can remember and Cameron cannot profit from it. Voting in any election at the moment is a complete waste of time, three parties all singing from the same hymn sheet.
I saw Shrek with my nieces and nephews…after the movie, I asked them, what was the moral of the story?
“Love makes you ugly!”
Is this what you mean about Cameron?
I am a bit confused by the article on E.U. ref blog.
You see I watched the opening of the debate in the House of Commons on the Queen’s speech and both Mr Blair and Mr Cameron were there and made speeches – and the article seems to be saying that they were not there.
Perhaps what is meant is that they did not stick around for the next few days of debate.
As for Mr Cameron’s performance – well he made a useless speech, but (as I have just written) he was there and he did make a speech.
On the Sudan.
So Mr Cameron thinks “the killing must stop” – fair enough, accept (of course) he would soon start to whine if Mr Blair did send a force to the Sudan and the body bags started to come home.
It is much the same as the “climate change” stuff. Mr Cameron claimes to be opposed to C02 emissions, yet he also opposes atomic power stations. Thus driving genuine environmentalists (such as James Lovelock) up the wall.
Mr Cameron (like his friend “Zac” Goldsmith) is a rich kid “progressive” striking a pose.
Before David Cameron came along I would not have thought that any British politician could make Mr Blair and Mr Brown look almost reasonable by comparison – but he has managed it. Mr Cameron is just such a bad joke.
I think the EU Ref. blog is implying that Cameron is a vacuous nitwit. Or maybe the green colouration is taking a poke at his grandstanding on greenie issues.
