Boozernomics
Years ago to settle an argument I was having in the loaded office about Crisps I concluded “Listen there’s no way Kettle Crisps are better than Walkers cheese and onion and to prove it we’ll have a Crisps World Cup.” The resulting 64 bag head to head knock-out tournament was a defining moment for the magazine. It was the first true representation of my belief that trivial things should be treated seriously and vice versa. With Sabotage Times we wanted something similar. So we’ve been creating Pie Chart break downs on the War On terror, Tour De France, World Cup and the mind of Raoul Moat. Sometimes they’re brilliant, other times crass and provocative, other times genuinely interesting. It’s where maths meets the talk of the public house. I call it Boozernomics.
