Ann Widdecombe’s death is being treated as murder I was saddened but not particularly surprised to hear that Ann Widdecombe had died yesterday at the age of 78. There seemed to be somewhat less than the usual amount of vile gloating on Twitter*, and many comments like this one from Colin Freeman:
I did not expect this:

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.
