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]

The Christmas spirit I’m not a huge fan of David Lammy, but when the Foreign Secretary and MP for Tottenham sends a tweet on Christmas Eve saying, “To all of my constituents and everyone beyond, I wish you a joyful and peaceful break and a very merry Christmas,” I mentally return his good wishes. OK, I don’t have any constituents, unless you count oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus and assorted other elements, but you know what I mean.
His fellow Labour MP Zarah Sultana is having none of that. She replied,
“Does that include the Palestinian people suffering genocide and being killed with British-made weapons, David?”
To all our readers and everyone beyond, I wish you a joyful and peaceful break and a very merry Christmas.

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.

Zarah Sultana is just channelling her inner ‘Rik’ from the Classic British TV series ‘The Young Ones’.
Merry Christmas, everyone. I wish you all a happy, healthy and prosperous Christmas and 2025.
Good point about Rik! Might I add the difference between then and now is then Rik was a ludicrous figure of fun and Zarah Sultana is actually in government!
Anyway, Happy Christmas one and all! And let’s hope the Sage of Kettering is wrong about 2025!
A bot or a minion could well have produce the Lammy tweet (but let’s give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he actually typed it).
This Sultana creature will definitely have spat out the bile itself.
A strange genoside where the population keeps increasing.
Amen to both propositions! I could not have put it better myself.
An example of “Projection”.
Zarah Saltana (a real person – not a character from a “Carry On” film) wishes to commit genocide – but, understanding that this is not popular with the Western public, she pretends that her Islamic brothers and sisters (whose population, as jgh points out, keeps going UP – keeps INCREASING) are the victims of “genocide” carried by the supposedly wicked Jews.
Of course, after the “Islamists” (if we must use that word) have finished with the “Saturday people” they will come for the “Sunday people”.
Snorri – yes indeed, I hope I am wrong as well – for example I would be very happy if President Trump manages to reduce government spending as President Milei has done – I just do not believe that an United States President (no matter how well intentioned) has the power to do that. So I believe that the United States, and many other Western nations (especially the United Kingdom) are in for very hard times indeed. But the young will survive – and they will see the other side of all this.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.
Merry Christmas Paul! … and anybody else reading this.
And let’s give due credit to NickM for the propositions that i endorsed.
Maybe someone should buy Sultana a pager for Christmas 😬
Don’t sultanas and such go into Christmas puddings!
And yes, Zarah Sultana does sound like she should be hanging around with the Khasi of Kalabar and Bungdit Din!
Possibly it just didn’t work…
How small her heart must be.
