Emperor’s clothes: new court protocol Barataria – A new edict was promulgated last night forbidding the people from making public comments on clothing other than their own. The Master of Protocol is also looking at more severe punishments for seamstresses and button-makers who give fashion tips.
The Guild of Tailors has announced itself very pleased. “This is a major contribution to preserving the fine traditions of aristocratic couture, so recently under attack from vulgar speculation,” a spokesman said. “The country only just survived the panic and chaos recently caused to his Imperial Highness’ wardrobe by a malicious peasant-boy, so everyone can now understand where that sort of thing leads to. More sumptuary laws will mean an orderly clothes trade where people are able to buy what experts know is good for them at an approved price. “

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.

Well, I for one am glad that those rascals are not making clothes any more!
Is it true that they made a jaguar for a Mr. Bond, James Bond? I hope they didn’t scimp on materials THIS time!
And is there any truth to the rumour that a Mr. Harry Potter will be donating a cloak to his Majesty’s wardrobe?
I have no idea what this article is means! Care to explain?
