The New Vauxhall Torture Club - in THE OBSERVER

The New Vauxhall Torture Club

Heydon Prowse for DPTV

For all the really hardcore masochists out there, the MI6 building is open from 9am-6pm Monday to Friday and is located at at 85, Albert Embankment by Vauxhall Bridge. And for anyone worried that Britain’s commitment to the UN Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment or Punishment might spoil their fun, don’t worry! Enhanced interrogation techniques can include all or any of the following:

attention grasp, walling, facial hold, facial slap (insult slap), cramped confinement, wall standing, stress positions, sleep deprivation, insects placed in a confinement box, temperature extremes, music played at debilitating volumes, sexual humiliation and of course – last but not least - waterboarding.

So there’s plenty of fun to be had. Get yourself down there and if you can get past the door staff you’re bound to have a wonderfully brutal and horrific time.

RBS - GIVE US BACK OUR F***ING MONEY YOU C**TS

Heydon Prowse for DPTV...

If you go to work everyday, 9-5 and then hand over about a quarter of your income to the government every month and you're not angry about the current banking F-up, then you’re either one of the financial or political elite that have been ripping off the world since time immemorial, or you’re a snivelling, subservient little slave and you deserve all the subjugation you get. Our government is bailing the banks out to the tune of £500 billion! Yes, that's £500 billion of taxpayers' money! To put that in perspective, we give roughly £5.4 billion a year to international aid. For the full article go to:

Naked picnic at the home of Anthony Steen MP

Heydon Prowse for DPTV..

Anthony Steen is the Tory MP for Totnes who spent nearly £90,000 of taxpayers' money on his vast grounds and then said (very perceptively) on BBC Radio 4 that we were all just jealous of him because his house is so bloody massive. 'Do you know what its about?' said Steen, 'Jealousy. I have got a very, very large house. Some people say it looks like Balmoral.' Yes thats right Anthony we are absolutely green. In fact were so jealous that we feel we have a right to come over and have a picnic on your lawn and take our clothes off if we want.

THE UK GOVERNMENT EXPENSES SCANDAL

POUND FORCE - ALAN DUNCAN UK MP GETS A NEW GARDEN FEATURE

Full story at:

http://www.dontpaniconline.com/magazine/imagination/pound-force---alan-duncan-mp-gets-a-new-garden-feature

Alan Duncan, the Conservative MP who is supposed to oversee the party's policy on expenses, claimed £127,658 under the second home allowance and almost £4000 on gardening expenses. Alan made his millions in the oil industry before he became an MP working for the decidedly unethical Vitol, a company that dealt with apartheid South Africa, did business with Serbian war criminals and was mixed up in the oil-for-food scandal. Up until a few weeks ago Alan also held a position at Arawak Energy an exploration company owned by Vitol where he earned £35,000 for 20 days work a year. Plus I'm sure he earns a fair bit for poncing about on Have I Got News For You. So the fellow's not short of a bob or two. Fearing that Alan might spend more of our hard earned money, we went down to his home in Rutland and Melton to offer him a free hand with the gardening and to give him a fetching new pound sign garden feature. While there we made some disturbing discoveries.

G20 SUMMIT (FASHION SPECIAL)

Heydon Prowse for Don't Panic TV...

Check out the full article on Don't Panic Online..

http://www.dontpaniconline.com/magazine/structure/g20-fashion-special

The G20 protest is no anti-war march where everyone (more-or-less) knows what theyre there for. It is a confused affair - perhaps as confused as the hodge-podge of world leaders that make it up. At least with the G8 you knew your enemy - the same rich white men (plus a few Asians) that have been screwing over the planet since way back in the dizzle. This time we had the likes of Argentina and India thrown into the mix - the very same countries that have previously been screwed over by said rich white men and the deregulatory agendas that now have us all drowning in debt.

This confusion was reflected on the streets and although you had your stalwart anarchists that knew exactly what they were there for (smashing the old bill/bankers) most protesters were rightly angry, but a little directionless. Many people we spoke to didnt really know who the G20 were and what they were meeting about.

As such the event became as much a cultural phenomenon and social gathering as a demonstration over some very important, world changing issues. This was reflected in articles like this in Vice which completely ignored the issues and the fact that we found two people down there who were working for a marketing company doing research for brands. They were interviewing the different tribes and asking them what they were wearing in order to give a speech to their corporate daddies later that day. TRUE!

So here is our G20 Fashion Special. Dont hate us, hate the society that made us.

Śmigus Dyngus (or Wet Monday) is where Polish people run around throwing water at each other on Easter Monday. Originally it was used as a way to get laid and young boys would soak the hottest girls in town – sometimes in their bed’s early Monday morning… but only after getting permission and access from the girl’s mother. These days it’s just a massive national water fight where yobs get to drench old ladies with buckets of water and not get in trouble. For more info go here. Mucha Marcha will be supplying buckets of water, beakers, Italo-Disco from Heartbreak and the CocaDisco DJs, tropical jungle punk from Dead Kids and pink powerpop flavoured electronic hip-pop wierdbeat experiments from Rowdy Superstar…

DEAD KIDS (Live)

There are few-if-any London bands in recent times that have experienced such a meteoric rise from dingy-toilet circuit nothingness to national phenomenon. Having rattled the cages of major and indie labels alike for most of 2008, this year only graces the maniacal Mike Title-led five piece further with a Levi’s Ones To Watch Tour in the pipeline. Get up close and personal with this genuinely eye-popping act while you can.

HEARTBREAK (Live)
With remixes under their belts for the likes of The Presets, and a main support slot on their tour last year, plus confirmation for the NME Tour along side La Roux and Magistrates, Heartbreak are their white satin suits and Brylcreamed hairlines the kind of lives they deserve. This is their last London club show before summer!

ROWDY SUPERSTAR (Live)

“After taking over stages internationally in 2008 with his Bad Arse Hype Bitches, Rowdy Superstar has cancelled all gigs, and gone into hiding to create his debut LP”, says Rowdy’s Myspace. This is not true. Rowdy Superstar will be also be taking over the Mucha Marcha stage and wiping his grime-riddled electro all over your spell bound faces.
