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]

Signs of the times, ctd This appeared in the Daily Telegraph today, in an article describing the tensions inside the UK Labour government, assailed from its own ranks over issues like taxes on alcohol, imprisonment without trial and other matters:
Behind the scenes, things are even worse. With no clear direction from above, Cabinet ministers are at each other’s throats. I am reliably informed that, after one recent Cabinet meeting, Jack Straw threatened to punch Ed Balls during a row about who was responsible for youth crime. The Justice Secretary came back to his department fuming that he had never been spoken to so rudely by a colleague in public and that he was not going to put up with it.
Fistfights in the cabinet? Well, if you elect thugs, thuggery will break out eventually.

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’d pay good money to see that.
What will be next? Fighting in the War Room?
Not the first anecdote one has heard about Balls’ extreme rudeness and lack of manners. The more one learns of him the more one realises what an unsavoury character he is.
As for the man of Straw, who wouldn’t like to plant one on that smug face?
Balls would have made a good Nazi. Even his haircut is a tad Hitleresque at the back. He really is a first-rate scumbag. I fully expect him to rise to the top, as scum is wont to do.
Well, to get an insight into the odious Balls, take a look at his conceited website. He even grants you a high resolution photo of himself to admire! Don’t you feel so safe with Ed’s scary stare peering at you through little windows?
The hairdo is what happens to an 80s wanker blowjob when the head underneath it expands.
On a practical note, what’s happening in cabinet is the handover from The Original Socialists to The Next Generation. The student communists of the Brown, Straw, Darling et al generation are under pressure to get out of the way by the cultural marxists (Balls, the Siamese Millipedes, the interchangable dull fascist bints like Blears, Flint etc) who want their jobs. Ed’s generation want the power now. I’d imagine he sees himself as captain with that ugly androgynous thing he’s married to as first officer.
Makes you wish that the attendees at these little soirees had concealed carry permits.
