In Third Way Britain both the bureaucrats and the nosey neighbours get to spy on you sunbathing nude in your garden.
– A line from a gloriously rude review of an absurd book by our soon-to-be former Prime Minister.

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.

 9 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.

Glorious indeed 🙂
This kind of book has me asking the “Rod Stewart Album Question”- who the hell would actually buy this thing?
I don’t know who would buy it, either, but the publishers must be fairly confident they’ll shift a few copies.
I can’t help but feel that the majority of the market for this literary turd will be libraries (public and academic) and thus paid for out of public funds. Other than Polly’s copy of course, which she’ll pay for out of a BBC fee.
Oh come on Ian,
She’ll get an autographed one for free.
You should see the freebee shit that gets shovelled my way of a week.
The least she deserves for doing an Agatha Christie on every dodgy set of Govt statistics from education to the NHS she gets given.
The alarming part is that Gordon Brown (the reincarnation of Stafford Cripps) actually believes all this. He really means what he says.
He is, of course, not sane.
The “Third Way” sounds very much like Fascism.
It is.
So why can’t they get the trains to run on time?
