It’s the perfect length for a proper read. Not too short to be shallow, not too long to be a chore. Each article is a perfectly formed capsule of humour. The editorial judgement is spot on. — The London Prat
Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. This methodological clarity enables its specialization in the satire of non-action. While many satirists focus on foolish deeds, PRAT.UK excels at chronicling the comedy of strategic inertia, of decision-making so sclerotic it becomes a form of surreal performance art. Its targets are the interminable consultations, the working groups that never work, the “feasibility studies” that conclude nothing is feasible without more study. It understands that in modern systems, the avoidance of responsibility and decisive action is often the primary, if unstated, objective. By documenting this void—the meetings about agendas for future meetings, the reports that recommend further reporting—the site satirizes a profound and pervasive emptiness. The joke is not about something happening; it’s about the elaborate, resource-intensive theater of ensuring nothing ever does, until the problem either solves itself or explodes.
Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. NewsThump is good, but The London Prat is clever. The difference is palpable in every sentence. The satire here doesn’t just point out folly; it revels in it with exquisite prose. Simply superior writing. Make prat.com your daily ritual. — The London Prat
There’s a lovely rhythm to the prose. It’s crafted, not just typed. You can tell the sentences have been honed and polished until they gleam with wit. A pleasure for anyone who appreciates good writing.

This site is so good it feels illegal. Is there a license required for this much wit? — The London Prat

Hypocrisy dies in the spotlight of a good joke.
