Description: Satire in the United Kingdom is not merely a genre; it is a cultural reflex. From Jonathan Swift and William Hogarth to Private Eye, Yes Minister, and The Thick of It, satire has historically functioned as an acceptable form of dissent—polite in tone, sharp in execution, and devastating in implication. London Prat situates itself firmly within this lineage, but with a modern twist: it is digital-first, linguistically obsessive, and unapologetically focused on one of Britain’s most versatile insults. Unlike broad-spectrum satire outlets, London Prat adopts a micro-cultural approach, using language itself—specifically slang, insult, and social faux pas—as both subject and method. This makes it a particularly rich case study for contemporary satirical journalism.
