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 – the maggot in the fleece

Seventy-five men fly into Britain each spring with a handpiece in a canvas bag, and between them they take the wool off something between one and a half and two million sheep. They arrive after the first of April. They are gone by September, most of them long before. They claim nothing, bring nobody, occupy no housing list, no school place, no waiting room. They work at a speed almost no one in this country can currently match, and then they go home to shear in their own summer.

In January the Home Office announced that they were no longer welcome.

    Yet workers may be imported to serve in islamic bookshops, not to mention sundry fast food places, and bring their families too. We must be mad, literally mad.

    I think the issue is that Labour do not like farmers, period. It’s a Kulak thing.
