In our March 2010 edition we published a mocked up advertisement which some readers may have taken to suggest that the makers of Heinz food products, HJ Heinz Company Limited, are supporters of fascism and the British National Party. However, we accept that this allegation is categorically untrue and that Heinz are not and never have been such supporters. We are happy to correct the position and wish to apologise for any damage caused by making this false allegation.

Devo’s Gerald Casale on Faith.
“You have people justifying inhumane decisions that cause great pain and suffering by being ‘men of faith’. As soon as I hear that, I vomit. That’s a disgusting charlatan talking. As if your private, unsubstantiated belief system should be your guiding force when it comes to the effects you have on others when you are in power... There’s more poverty and more suffering and more death than ever before, because there are more humans, and we are decimating the planet. Starting with other species and fouling the land, the air, the sea... and, at the same time, less and less able to have rational discourse, so everybody is running around like frightened children, grabbing at sound-bites and sparkly bobbles and distractions. It’s why there’s no difference between news and tabloid news. It’s why people spend all their energy finding out about Anna Nicole Smith and Paris Hilton. It’s why huge corporate sponsors throw multimillion-dollar contracts at 50 Cent. Like, ‘Here, endorse this 250-dollar sneaker. We love your message: get rich or die tryin’. We thought it was great.’”
