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 David Cameron’s position is that he is trying to persuade the Golf Club to play tennis, but that if they refuse, he will continue to play golf.
– Michael Forsyth, on Daily Politics today, describing the posture of the Prime Minister with regard to the European Union.

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.

President Barroso, he shouts “Fore”…
He’s an ex Maoist by the way. Er, is there such a thing? He also says that there will be a Federal United States of Europe within five years.
And iDave expects us to believe that he can re-negotiate our entire relationship with the EU and then expects us to vote FOR his new deal. Wilson pulled that one in 1975. We got fuck all back and deeper in the shit that is Europe. We won’t fall for that one again.
Out! Out Now!!
Mr Forsyth isn’t quite right. The plan is to persuade the golf club to let one member play tennis on the golf course whilst the others carry on with their sport.
The latest referendum offer from Mr C was not of a referendum on EU membership, but rather a conditional offer of a referendum in the event that Mr C succeeded in his efforts at renegotiating membership. It was only then that there would be referendum, not on membership, but on the options of the status quo ante, or whatever option B had been agreed through negotiation by Mr C. The phrase ‘not worth a bucket of warm spit’ comes to mind.
Yes indeed – RAB and Mr Ed.
There is no chance that “our partners” will agree to return fundemental powers to the United Kingdom (the EEC-EU is, and always has been, about “Ever Closer Union”).
Mr Cameron knows this.
So, if the UK reneges, what are they going to do? Invade? Even in its current sad state the UK could take on anything the euroweenies could throw over the channel. I suspect the limits of their attacks and their most deadly armament would be something similar to that of the frenchman on the battlements in Monty Python. IN which case a few large fans would suffice 😉
