 5 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.

Are they coppers, or cadets dressed up for a day out with their monitoring adult? There are older looking lads at my local 6th form college! If they hold the Queen’s warrant, suggest they may be probationers or still in training school.

What your comment might really mean is that it is you who are getting old. Thinking policemen to be far too young is a classic symptom of advancing years.
As for me, I left younger policemen behind long ago. Then it was England cricket captains. Then it was British Prime Ministers.
Sub-point on the pro-tip: if you do, be an MP like Boris, whose persona includes – even welcomes – some clowning around and laughter.
I always wonder if, when Mr. Johnson gives instruction to his tailor and his barber, he actually uses the word “rumpled”, or if that just happens later.
I am very much on the side of Mr Johnson in the present conflict – but I can not deny that the policeman (although he is being a “smartarse”) has a point.
