Ethical Clothes - Private Eye

Recently it was the anniversary of the Rana Plaza disaster where 1130 people died in Bangladesh making dirt cheap clothes. My latest report has a peek at what's changed in attitudes in that year with a number of protests and a visit to a UK factory to chat ethics...

Sex work - Private Eye Extra...

In the current Private Eye magazine I spent some time speaking and hanging out with prostitutes to understand their perspective on the UK's proposals to criminalize their clients.

The mag is still only £1.50 for full services. Anything you want, baby.

Here is a little extra interview that didn't make it into the report...

Private Eye - Teachers

A lot of things are changing in British education and a lot of teachers fear for the future. More than 10,000 teachers went on strike and marched through London and I went along with them.

Buy the new Private Eye magazine to read my latest report.

Private Eye - At The Track...

The latest Private Eye magazine is still available. In it you find my report on my day trip to the Cheltenham horse racing festival. It was an...... interesting experience.

Private Eye - Cyborgs!

In the current Private Eye magazine, I report on the growing trend of cyber-super-bionic prosthetic limbs.

The world of Robocop may be just around the corner!

Private Eye - Homeless...

Oops! A little late with this news but in the current Private Eye magazine you can find my little guide to keeping warm if you are homeless.

I spent some nights out in the cold chatting to the souls who live on the streets and getting some tips on not freezing to death.

In fact, you lucky chickens get to read the report on line for another week!!!!

Sugar - Private Eye

We love the white stuff but are we addicted to sugar? I 'investigate' in the latest Private Eye magazine.

Happy New Year! - Private Eye

As the clock struck midnight and the fireworks lit the night skies, I was given permission to spend New Year's Eve with the mighty volunteers who act as London's paramedics through the night. They basically deal with the drunk, very drunk and comatose drunk who 'enjoy' welcoming the new year.

Grab the current Private Eye magazine to see the report. Still £1.50!

Private Eye - Pantomime!!!

Oh no it isn't! Oh yes it is!

The latest Christmas issue of Private Eye magazine has my exploration of modern Panto.

(Des Spectacles des Noel est un tradition bizarre du britannique.)

Private Eye - Bitcoins....

Grab the current Private Eye magazine to learn a little more about the Bitcoin craze...

Just £1.50 or 0.002889 bitcoins!

Private Eye & Time Out...

A recent report showed that more homeless families are being placed in
emergency housing than ever.

Emergency housing usually means Bed & Breakfast hotels or places similar. They might get just one room with shared kitchen and bathroom and they may be stuck there for a year or more despite the recommendation being six weeks max. With thanks to the charity Shelter, I visited and spent a little time with two families. My report is out now in the new Private Eye magazine. Just £1.50 with a super cover....

Plus I hope you can grab a copy of the new Time Out London. It has yet another Musical Tribes character.

Last weeks was 'House'...

 

This week....

Private Eye... in court!

Can't attend the phone-hacking trial? Don't worry, I've made a handy little guide in the new Private Eye!

#1353 is out now for £1.50.

New Private Eye magazine....

Out Now!

I spent the day at the recent London Anarchist Bookfair and made a little report on the really, really busy event. I bumped into my friend and talented comic guy, Alex Potts. He was having a curious wander so I had to include him somewhere!

Private Eye: Press Regulation...

Out now! The new private Eye magazine. Inside I have a look at press regulation....

Private Eye: Pencils v Weapons...

I tried to get into the world's largest arms fair.

See what the organizers thought of me, a simple cartoon drawer, in the brand new Private Eye magazine.

Please click the picture and re-tweet.

(I was too busy to post the last issue news. Sorry)

Immigration...

New Private Eye magazine out now! Illegal immigrants have to report to a UK Border Agency office with their documents. I queued up with them and interviewed some to get their views on immigration.

Still only £1.50 for a great magazine. Try it.

Fracking...

In this weeks issue I visited the Balcombe fracking protest.

I pick the one period that there was torrential rain!

PE Smoking...

In the new Private Eye out now. A little report on cigarette packaging.

See what actual smokers think and not just what politicians and lobbyists want.

The mag is £1.50 from anywhere you also go to grab your pack of sweet,

sweet tobacco.

Private Eye Extra: Modern art....

In the new Private Eye magazine out now...

I give my verdict on the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition 2013.
I learnt that it's extremely difficult to depict bad art without it looking like
just a bad drawing. Even the worst scribbled reproduction doesn't do
justice to awful art.

Here are two extra bits that I couldn't fit in.
