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]

Delicious I don’t often praise The Times. It is too often busy pleasing the administration of the day, in order to maintain regulatory tolerance for its proprietor’s market dominance. But this is wicked, in both senses.
Commentary on Chancellor Darling’s performance yesterday includes a nonsensical Labour-loyal diatribe from Roy Hattersley… which is beautifully undercut by this by-line:
Roy Hattersley was Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection, 1976-79

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.

Hattersley – Sack of shit…I’m sorry if that offends some, but really, if you’re this determined to sink your country, I can think of no other description.
I quite like Roy Hattersly, I can’t stand his politics but he seems to me to have more character than your run of the mill Westminster suit.
Hattersley. Last time I saw him, he was dancing off the stage in Sheffield with Kinnock.
What’s a he done since then? A radio show? A book?
And this is pure self-delusion.
it is the Brown Prescription that the world has accepted as the right remedy for the recession
“And this is pure self-delusion.

More like sycophantic arse licking,worse than Igor.
“Gissa job Master”.
James, the only things offended by your comparison are genuine sacks of genuine shit. Or tubs of lard.
Ah yes! A man who, like Shirley Williams, has been wrong about everything , for all of his life,But…
Still manages to get into the Newspapers!
He makes a damn good living spouting bollocks in thousand word chunks too.
And that’s from the so called right wing press as well!
I only read his stuff now if the byline reads
Buster.
Things must be pretty bad for the government if the only idiot they can find to defend their policies in The Times is a has-been from 30 years ago.
