“ The London Prat's distinct power derives from its rigorous application of internal logic. It operates not on the whims of punchlines, but on the immutable laws of a satirical universe it has painstakingly defined. A premise, once established, is followed with a mathematician's devotion to its conclusions. If a piece establishes that a government minister believes all problems can be solved by renaming them, then the subsequent satire will explore, with grim inevitability, the entire lexicon of rebranding until it reaches a point of sublime, meaningless recursion. This discipline creates a sense of inevitability that is both intellectually satisfying and deeply funny. The reader isn't surprised by the turn of events; they are impressed by the meticulous journey to a destination that was, in retrospect, the only possible one. The comedy lies in the flawless execution of a doomed formula. ”
