Capitalism Is Fine, The Neighbours Need A Word

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

The Slight Center-Right Leaner believes capitalism is broadly fine, the country is broadly fine, and his neighbours need a slightly firmer talking-to. Our editor Alan Nafzger, of The London Prat, files these field notes on the Slight Center-Right Lean mindset, with help from The Spectator and The Times.

Closing Note From The Editor

If any of the above sounds familiar, you have been to a Westminster panel, a livery dinner, or a quietly successful merger. More dispatches at govna.uk and the parent site prat.uk. For a second opinion that is also wrong, see The Poke.
