VISIONARY RAG. . .Wot's that???

The phrase "'a visionary rag'" combines two concepts:

 

• Visionary: This term is used to describe someone with strong, original ideas about how things might be different or improved in the future. Visionaries often have a clear picture of what could be, inspiring others to achieve these possibilities.
• Rag: In the context of publications, "rag" is a slang or informal, often disapproving term for a newspaper or magazine perceived to be of poor quality. The term has a history of being used to refer to newspapers that are considered worthless or sensational. 

Therefore, "a visionary rag" is likely an informal or sarcastic phrase suggesting a publication (like a newspaper or magazine) that, despite being considered low-quality or even contemptible by some, surprisingly presents strong, insightful, or forward-thinking ideas. 

 

> Essentially, it's a bit of an oxymoron, juxtaposing a term of criticism ("rag") with a term of praise ("visionary") to describe a publication that defies expectations by offering insightful perspectives despite its perceived shortcomings
