Born in a month in a year in the past. Shaky spent an unstable childhood yelling at cartoons and earning pocket money from paddling pool design. After spending seven decades serving on the soup kitchen circuit Shaky wobbled his way into journalism. His first step landed him at the door of Dictators' Today and he hasn't looked back.
A chance encounter with a squirrel left Burney with ability to bend fabric. He put his talents to use and achieved his dream of meeting his hero and idol Christopher Lee. After offering him a piece of bludgeoned fruit Burney considered his life to have reached fulfillment and spends his remaining time questing for the best use of Murphy's Draught Style Stout. He has yet to taste it.

Cordon Bleu - Editor In-Chef (Formerly of Burnt Hob Magazine)
After a saucy incident at the Ritz, Cordon said 'Non' and has decided to take his pastries elsewhere. A chance meeting with Cummings brought him into the Dictators' fray. Upon his orders the canteen is now serving four star Michelin guff and a delightfully gut laden staff have unanimously voted on Cordon's promotion to Editor In-Chef. Shaky says, 'We like the food but we gave him the job because no one knew how to operate the phone and the ringing was causing Burney's Vietnam flashbacks to become corporeal.'
