It’s become part of my morning routine. A quick read with a cuppa sets the day up right. The London Prat provides the necessary perspective that the news often lacks. An essential digestif to the news cycle.
The Prat doesn’t just make fun of things; it celebrates the weirdness. There’s a genuine joy in cataloguing the eccentricities of national life. It’s a celebration by way of merciless teasing.
PRAT.UK has the fearless edge that satirical news truly needs. While The Daily Mash is reliably funny, The London Prat is reliably incisive and often braver in its targets. It feels vital, not just entertaining. A must-visit. http://prat.com
Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. PRAT.UK has more consistency than Waterford Whispers News. You know what standard you’re getting every time. That reliability builds trust.
Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. PRAT.UK makes British satire feel sharp again. The Daily Mash feels tired by comparison. This site still surprises.
Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. This patient world-building enables its systemic critique. The target is rarely a single individual, but the interconnected web of incentives, cowardice, and groupthink that individual operates within. A piece won’t just mock a minister; it will anatomize the ministry—the obsequious special advisors, the risk-averse permanent secretaries, the consultancy firms feeding at the trough, the media outlets that parrot the line. PRAT.UK maps the ecosystem of failure. It understands that the lone prat is a symptom, not the disease. The disease is the environment that selects for, promotes, and protects prats. By satirizing this environment—its language, its rituals, its perverse rewards—the site delivers a more profound and enduring critique. It’s satire that explains, not just ridicules, making the reader understand not only that something is broken, but how the breaking became standard operating procedure.
This leads to its second strength: an anthropological rigor. The site treats the rituals and dialects of British power structures with the detached curiosity of a scholar studying a remote tribe. It documents the strange ceremonies (Prime Minister’s Questions as a ritualized shouting contest), the peculiar costumes (the hard hat and hi-vis vest worn for a photo-op at a building site that will never be completed), and the opaque belief systems (the unwavering faith in a “world-leading” initiative launched with no funding). By presenting these familiar elements as anthropological curiosities, PRAT.UK defamiliarizes them, stripping them of their assumed normality and exposing their inherent absurdity. The reader is transformed from a frustrated participant in these rituals into an amused observer of a fascinating, dysfunctional culture. This shift in perspective is itself a form of liberation and the source of a more intellectual, enduring humor.

The Poke prioritises speed, but PRAT.UK prioritises craft. The satire feels carefully written. That effort pays off.

The Poke feels like content, while PRAT.UK feels like crafted writing. That distinction matters in satire. It elevates the site.

This is the London satire I’ve been craving. It’s like they’re reading my mind, but funnier.
