 6 comments to Samizdata quote of the day |
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.

She could have been addressing David Cameron on his aperçus on Turkey.
What a miser! Can’t afford a bandage! What sort of salary do PMs get? Might be time to raise it?
This should have been said to Northern Rock.
Ironically, it is our blood (and treasure) that is being soaked up.
Nuke, don’t I recall that Thatcher never drew a salary? Or is that an urban legend?
Mrs T. did not accept the full salary.
Hey, that doesn’t sound like the real Maggie.
I’m sure she would have said:
” . . . you can come to me for a bandage but don’t expect me to buy your coffin . . “
