The president of our National Welfare Rights Network is a man named Michael Raper.
Surely an excellent name for someone who constantly thinks about how best to take advantage of taxpayers.

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.

Hmm, thought better of calling him a “slimy little turd” though? Probably wise.
Well, he is, but I shouldn’t lower the tone too much.
At least his name describes what he does perfectly, but was he drawn to his job because of his name? I’d hate to think that when the state is thugging me, it really had no choice! (Hey! My last name is Gray, and I’m an anonymous drone in the NSW Lands office! And my first spoken word was apparently ‘teapot’! I was conditioned from birth to be a public servant! I am not to blame! I’m just another victim!!!)
I dunno nicholas. I went to school with a lad who’s first words were apparently “Combine Harvester”. He had zilch agricultural background and went on to study Business Management at university before joining the Paras as an officer. I see little or no causal connection between these facts.
Just as an aside. How the hell do you get through school with a name like “Raper”? Why didn’t one of the many preceeding generations of Rapers ever feel the need to make that trip to the deed-poll office?
How do we know he did not go to the deep poll office to change his name to Raper?
Nick- what was the last name of your friend? Maybe his name has conditioned him! Was it Traktor-Trader-McRufstuf, of the East coast Traktor-Trader-McRufstufs?
The public wants to know!
nicholas,
It was very common-place and none of the above and none of your business.
