Welfare Capitalism: A Workplace Creche And A Cycle Scheme

Capitalism Plus Tea Is Just Civilisation

Bohiney Magazine and The London Prat file this dispatch from the British political menagerie.

The Welfare Capitalist believes capitalism is great, provided you give it a duvet, a hot drink, and a mandatory pension scheme administered by Aviva. Editor Alan Nafzger of the Editor’s Desk at prat.uk presents the field guide, with help from Britannica on welfare capitalism and the CIPD.

Editor’s Note

If any of this rings a bell, you have either been to a Saturday CLP meeting, a Reform UK rally in a leisure centre, or both. More dispatches at govna.uk and the parent site prat.uk. For a second opinion that is also wrong, see NewsThump.
