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 – shed no tears for Two-Tier Keir Can a man whose legacy will be full-term abortion, censorship, digital surveillance, and the abolition of trial by jury really claim to have rescued Britain from the moral abyss? Can a man who gave us soaring youth unemployment, who shrugged at farm suicides, who thinks nothing of bankrupting schools for disabled children and religious minorities, really boast of returning to Britain a sense of pride?
– Mary Harrington

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.

I have little respect for Keir Starmer for he has led, or stood by, while the Labour Government have revelled in their envy and malice towards ‘toffs and gammons’ regardless of the impact on society in general. That another figurehead will be shortly in place offers little joy – and we can blame Keir Starmer for that too.
The first item Mary Harrington listed (abortion up to full term) is alone enough to condemn Starmer as utterly evil. Nothing he did, or enabled his ministers and apparatchiks to do, warrants any praise at all.
The horrible thing is that none of this was unique to Sir Keir Starmer – these are the evil (and “evil” is the correct word) policies of the entire establishment and none of them will change under Mr Burnham.
