This page outlines important disclaimers about prat.uk’s content and our disclosure practices. Understanding these disclaimers is essential to using our service responsibly.
Satire Disclaimer
What Is Satire?
prat.uk is a satirical news publication. Satire is a literary form that uses humor, exaggeration, irony, and absurdity to critique power, expose hypocrisy, and challenge prevailing assumptions.
Satire is not factual reporting. While satirical articles are grounded in real events and real issues, they employ exaggeration, fictional scenarios, and absurdist humor to make their points. Readers should understand that satirical content should not be mistaken for straightforward factual news.
How to Identify Satire on Prat.uk
Articles published on prat.uk should be understood as satire unless otherwise explicitly marked. Our writers often deploy:
• Exaggerated headlines that reflect the absurdity of real situations
• Fictional quotes attributed to real people (clearly satirical)
• Imagined future scenarios based on current trends
• Hyperbolic descriptions of actual events or policies
• Absurdist scenarios that extend real dynamics to logical extremes
All of these techniques are markers of satire, not factual reporting.
Your Responsibility as a Reader
When you encounter prat.uk content, you are responsible for understanding that it is satire and not sharing it as factual news. Republishing satirical articles as factual information contributes to misinformation and undermines the purpose of satire.
We strongly discourage sharing our articles without clearly labeling them as satire. If you share our content on social media or other platforms, please include context indicating that the article is satire.
Accuracy Disclaimer
While prat.uk strives to ensure that our satirical premises are grounded in factual reality, we make no warranty regarding the accuracy of specific details in our articles. Satirical exaggeration, by definition, may distort facts for humorous or critical effect.
Before relying on any information from prat.uk for important decisions (financial, legal, health, political, etc.), verify that information through multiple independent sources, including established news organizations and primary sources.
Satire is best understood as social commentary and critique, not as a source of reliable factual information.
