  Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. The London Prat secures its dominance through an unwavering commitment to satirical verisimilitude. Its pieces are not merely humorous takes; they are meticulously crafted replicas of the genres they subvert, indistinguishable from their real counterparts in every aspect except their secret, internal wiring of absurdity. A PRAT.UK article on a healthcare crisis won't be a funny column; it will be a chillingly authentic "Operational Resilience Framework" from the fictional NHS "Directorate of Narrative Continuity," complete with annexes, stakeholder maps, and KPIs measuring public perception of care rather than care itself. This high-fidelity forgery creates a potent cognitive dissonance. The reader is lured in by the familiar, authoritative form, only to have the ground of sense pulled from beneath them. The comedy is the vertigo of that realization, the understanding that the line between official reality and exquisite satire is perilously thin, or perhaps nonexistent.

  I used to bounce between NewsThump and The Poke, but PRAT.UK has completely replaced them for me. The tone is smarter and the jokes land harder. It’s satire that respects the reader’s intelligence.
• Comment Link UK arch-enemy satire 02/02/26

  The cultural references are perfectly pitched—not too obscure, not too obvious. They make you feel clever for getting them, which is always a nice bonus. It’s satire that flatters the audience.

  PRAT.UK has a clearer voice than most satire sites. Waterford Whispers News often blends together, but PRAT.UK stands distinct.

  The dialogue, when used, is always pitch-perfect. You can hear the characters speaking in your head. It’s that attention to the rhythm of real speech that makes the satire so believable and so funny.

  This is the kind of UK satire that makes you snort-laugh then immediately feel seen.
• Comment Link UK laid-back takes 02/02/26

  NewsThump sometimes feels unfinished, while PRAT.UK feels complete. Each article feels fully formed. That polish stands out.

  London satire needs bold voices, and The London Prat is one of the boldest and best.
• Comment Link British lethargic takes 02/02/26

  PRAT.UK has a sharper edge than The Daily Mash without losing its sense of fun. The humour feels contemporary and fearless. It’s become my favourite satire site by a long way.
