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]

Samizdata quote of the day – the Canary Wharf Black: from Biafra to Deloitte

The BLM lobby is still dominated by Afro-Caribbeans. More Africans have sympathies with the Conservative Party than Afro-Caribbeans (even if they don’t necessarily vote for them) — just look at Kemi Badenoch. Now, like most Pimlico Journal readers, I have no time at all for her. However, she does have the potential to help obliterate any future prospect of reparations. All she would need to do is ask that Nigeria, Benin, Ghana, Somalia, and Saudi Arabia foot half the bill for reparations, and black solidarity would immediately dissipate. Very suddenly, the Fulani will see themselves as tanned Tuaregs; the Somali as Cushitic; and Leroy from Montego Bay will forgo his chicken shop Shahada because Moroccan poon tang just isn’t worth that sort of money. Once you distract them from the easy punching bag that is the white man, they can start fighting each other; meritocracy sorts the rest out.

    I believe the last person or persons born into slavery in the British Empire died sometime in the late 1920s (or possibly early 1930s).

    The fact that your ancestors were slaves is not grounds for you to receive any reparations.

    Otherwise, I hereby demand a healthy cheque from the British government on behalf of my ancestors who were clearly disadvantaged prior to the Roman Catholic Relief Act of 1829.

    I’m still waiting for compensation from the Persian Empire for enslaving my ancestors 2500 years ago.

    Wot? They freed them and let them return to their homeland? NOT ENOUGH!!!!!

    Fully 10% of people in England were chattel slaves when William and his army of Frenchified Vikings showed up in 1066. Where’s my check?
