‘The UK’s only magazine’ turns five! The Fence has rapidly developed a devoted readership for its scurrilous 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.’ This landmark 20th issue celebrates their five years in print with an all-black cover illustrating a gamble gone wrong – self deprecating premonition or the bottoming out before a winner's streak? Read about memorably mundane celebrity sightings, ghost stories in Shoreditch, and the day in the life of an anonymous probation officer among many other delightful stories. the-fence.com
