Private Eye is a fortnightly British magazine, originally a satire magazine, currently a magazine of satire and news reporting, including investigations, that somehow is under-reported in newspapers over there. Its early attitude - all politicians and public figures are liars and crooks until proven otherwise - is healthy, I think. Specific-to-UK people, events, etc. in Private Eye are unfamiliar, but jokes about them are as universal as musician jokes. I could be wrong, but in recent years I sensed an undercurrent of a British-Conservative POV (which is less insane than US right wingers). It used to be hard to find in the US, now I can't find it here at all - maybe it's sold in Canada. Here's a web site: http://www.private-eye.co.uk/covers.php

BTW Peter Cook used to own Private Eye.

I wonder what Organissimo's members in the UK think. Has Private Eye sold out?
