there is nothing we at VCHQ enjoy more than seeing the kind of joy a fresh and clean copy of Vicious Daily can bring - especially when all other forms of toilet paper have expired.

almost time to vote in London! What are you thinking? I usually vote Red Tory to stop the nasty Blue Tory from getting in, as obviously you'll never catch me voting Yellow Tory - you can't trust them as far as you can throw them. I'd like to vote Green on principle but doesn't that just mean a vote for the fascists? Its so confusing... Grateful for the freedom to choose capitalism every time though innit. #capitalism #will #never #die #and #nothing #will #ever #change . #thank #god #for #democracy #in #england

"as with all of Alistair's work, at the heart of madness is a relentless drive to get to the truth". @alistair.leys is soon to release the 3rd and final book of 'In the Wilderness of Mirrors' a story inspired by a 3 week stretch of solitary confinement in a Tokyo prison cell. @kaiyashang has written a brilliant piece on the first 2 books in anticipation of the final release on @kapico_production next week! The article is now live on viciouscollective.com.
