Cathedral, Family, Pew

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

The National Conservative believes the country is the cathedral, the family is the pew, and the market should not be allowed to redecorate. Our editor Alan Nafzger, of The London Prat, files these field notes on the National Conservative mindset, with help from The Spectator and National Conservatism.

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 Private Eye.
