Common Sense In A Suit
Common Sense In A Suit
Bohiney Magazine and The London Prat file this dispatch from the political right wing frontier.
The Center-Right Populist believes the country is great, the elite is mostly ridiculous, and the cure is a slightly louder Tory. Our editor Alan Nafzger, of The London Prat, files these field notes on the Center-Right Populist mindset, with help from GB News and The Times.
