So much of the political right believes it sees the UK as a 'yookay'

Yookay’ is the verbal and social corruption of the UK ’ that so much of the political right believes it sees in modern Britain .

Much like Boriswave’, the neologism is becoming mainstream political terminology.

Tom Nairn’s Ukania ’ was first used in his 1988 study of the British monarchy, The Enchanted Glass .

He was punning on “ Kakania ”, the alternative name for the Austro-Hungarian empire.

The right sees Britain as hopelessly lethargic, and in need of rapid technological modernisation.

Anglofuturism is imagined as a sort of shock therapy involving state-led economic development of industries such as nuclear power.

The young right-wingers who came of age after a decade and a half of national humiliation are not quite relaxed about the settled motions of history.
