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]

Yes they do know it’s Christmas I like this:
CAPE TOWN. After 28 years of silently tolerating it, a group of unemployed local musicians have joined forces to release a Christmas single, entitled ‘Yes we do,’ in response to the Bob Geldof inspired Band Aid song, ‘Do they know it’s Christmas?’
Thankyou to Tim Worstall for spotting this.
Speaking at the launch of the single, whose proceeds will go towards teaching discipline, literacy and contraception at British schools, composer and singer Boomtown Gundane said that for years he had been irked by Geldof’s assumption that hungry Africans were also stupid.
Sadly, it’s a joke. But quite a good one, I think.

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.

Brilliant, I think like this Gundane guy a lot.
Sorry, but I just can’t stop giggling…:-) I hope a lot of folks give him their focking money!
That is wonderful Brian!
I always hated that song.
There won’t be snow in Africa..
Have they seen Kilmanjaro?
And not knowing about Christmas?
Have any of these cunts like Bono ever heard of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church? One of the earliest on the planet? Cunts the lot of them.
Indeed, Nick – as eloquent as ever:-)
Brian,
Is there a video?
Alisa,
I thank you!
Meh, as naive and patronising as it all was, I think it’s a pretty obtuse way of looking at things to interpret it literally (which isn’t to say that it isn’t mildly entertaining).
It was a bloody awful song in any case though.
“Meh, as naive and patronising as it all was, I think it’s a pretty obtuse way of looking at things to interpret it literally”
Exactly. The song was meant to address a famine in Ethiopia.
