We followed the story of the Westboro Baptist Church as families split and children were brainwashed into picketing funerals and bashing homosexuals.
During that time, we interviewed more than a dozen members of the reviled group, including some of the only members not related by blood, the Drains. They welcomed us into their homes and gave us access to 17 years of home video footage. In return, we produced an unbiased look into the lives of one of America’s most despised organizations.

For those who haven’t been paying attention, the EDL is a group that seems to sincerely believe Britain is under imminent threat of being taken over by fundamentalist Muslims. Ignoring the hundreds of years of evidence which suggests that Britain is run by a cabal of rich, white, Christian men, the EDL have taken it upon themselves to nip this imaginary problem in the bud by marching drunk into towns and cities and slurring their inarticulate rage at the local Islamic population. Last weekend the boys went to drizzly Bristol where they hung out with cops and a bunch of antifascists.

You may remember that, a little while back, some very, very high people called VICE, convinced we had asked them to write a blog about taking drugs with homeless people in Bournemouth, England (we didn’t). I asked them to write a post about their adventures, and yesterday they finally sent it to me.
There’s no pictures of what happened as, unfortunately, the “photographer” they “hired” turned out to not actually exist (I fucking hate when that happens), so I’ve created some digital reconstructions of what I think they might have seen. (BTW, I’ve never been to Bournemouth or tried 2C-B and have no idea how to use Photoshop.) Enjoy, alongside their unedited account of events.

For the past four days the United Kingdom has been celebrating a thing called the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. In our US office, our comrades’ unique holiday has been marked by a noticeable decline in their “workplace output,” a trend that people foolishly in business with Britons the world over have probably noticed. The original plan was to get our London office to provide some sort of explanation as to what exactly the fuck is going on over there, but all of our emails have been drunkenly answered with what appears to be the middle or perhaps the end of a sentence, like “and is [a] jubilee innit mate?” or sometimes just “THE QUEEN.” None of the responses so far have had any discernable point, so we made a list of questions about the Queen and her Jubilee and stayed up all night answering them our goddamn selves.
