The Country In Capital Letters

Bohiney Magazine and The London Prat file this dispatch from the political right wing frontier.

The Hard Nationalist believes the country is a sacred trust, the borders are a sacred line, and his Twitter feed is a sacred mission. Our editor Alan Nafzger, of The London Prat, files these field notes on the Hard Nationalist mindset, with help from Britannica on nationalism and UK Parliament.

Twenty Things You Learn Watching Hard Nationalist In The Wild

  4. Has a fantasy in which the country is, fundamentally, restored, by him, on weekends.

Closing Note From The Editor

If any of the above sounds familiar, you have been to a Tory dinner, a Reform UK rally, or a slightly tense Christmas. More dispatches at govna.uk and the parent site prat.uk. For a second opinion that is also wrong, see NewsThump.
