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 – Two-tier Britain

“When one your tribe is murdered, I call for calm and unity because that is according to your principles; when one of my tribe is murdered, I call for protests and riots because that is according to my principles.”

Alice Smith on the stark difference between reactions to the deaths of Henry Novak and George Floyd. She’s paraphrasing Frank Herbert.

But tell me, there’s no “National White Police Association” in the UK, so why is there a “National Black Police Association” and a “National Association of Muslim Police” in the UK?

    Thank you for posting this. I pray that this country heeds the calls to bring back the principle of equality before the law.

    May I point out that the murdered young man’s name was Henry Nowak, not Novak. It’s a Polish name and in Polish the letter W is pronounced as a V.

  • If we want to bring back the rule of law, it won’t be achieved by storming Southampton Police Station, but by storming the College of Policing, because it’s here that two-tier policing originated and is disseminated to all forces, not just Hampshire Police.

    If we want to bring back the rule of law, it won’t be achieved by storming Southampton Police Station, but by storming the College of Policing …

    I understand Elon has offered to fund a private prosecution of the police officers involved. Perhaps he should include the College of Policing as well.

    It would be easier for Musk to buy it and then demolish it.
