‘The UK’s only magazine’
The Fence has rapidly developed a devoted readership for its scurillous and very English mix of humour, investigation and politics. Smartly presented in black and red with copious illustration, it’s a unique publication that describes itself as ‘The UK’s only magazine’. Patently untrue of course, perhaps a better description comes from Graydon Carter: ‘the illegitimate offspring of Private Eye and Evelyn Waugh.’
The issue opens with a series of horror job interviews, before an indepth investigation into corruption and intrigue at St Paul’s Cathedral, a report into the Mosquito anti-teenager sonic weapon, and a flow-diagram make-your-own Joanna Hogg movie. (A joy to read).
