Jehan's Weekly Wind Up

Hello and welcome to Jehan's Weekly Wind Up , the 4th instalment of some ramblings I produce in a few hours, fail to proof read, and then publish for the public humiliation of my soul. In this week's edition we talk, mostly about the same things as every other week, EU, Trump, Corporations being Corporations. If you don't like what you read, maybe it's you, have a look at yourself in the mirror. Monday 19th August Monday brought the devastating news that the UK was to end it’s freedom of movement within the EU, well at least some call it news, others call it an obvious account given that we chose to leave the EU. Startling stuff. In all fairness, despite the obvious, this is just an update on when freedom of movement will end. If we are to leave with a no deal it means freedom of movement will end on the 31st October, rather than until we actually know how to deal with millions of EU nationals who now call the UK home.  This Halloween may actually be one of...

Hello and welcome to Jehan's Weekly Wind Up, a weekly satirical blog about each days top/most interesting story. This is the third instalment, and you should be aware now this is no trilogy, this is a franchise, eclipsed only by the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They may make a little more money than I do, but I sure as hell won't recast Chris Evans as a different character in my universe. Get your safety glasses on, leave your inhibition's on the dining table for 5 minutes, and enjoy this senseless ventilation from an illogical self-confident writer. Monday 12th August On Monday British political parasite Nigel Farage claimed that Prince Harry's popularity had "fallen off a cliff since marrying Megan Markle". Because Nigel Farage is such a celebrated figure in British popular culture, if anything should be falling off a cliff, it should be him. I call him a parasite because he wormed his way into British politics with his UKIP infestation, leaching off the ...

Hello and welcome to  Jehan's Weekly Wind Up , where I look to dissect the last week's top stories from each day. This is the second edition, the sequel, The Two Towers to The Fellowship Of The Ring, The Chamber of Secrets to The Philosopher's Stone, The Terminator 2 to The Terminator…1? In this week's Wind Up, we'll take a look at the happenings in the US, some British football and a bit of institutional racism, a perfect Sunday read. Monday 5th August So Monday’s story was reported on Tuesday, but I’m putting it under Monday, because I’m a maverick, a trend setter if you will. In last week’s Wind-Up I mentioned that only 2 stories come from the USA if it isn’t Trump, it’s mass shootings. Well how wrong could I be, take a look at the photo below. You’d be mistaken for assuming that Texas was technologically way ahead of it’s time with still pictures in the 17th Century. But this is present day Texas y’all, where police wear cowboy hats, carry a h...

Hello and welcome to my new blog egotistically named Jehan's Weekly Wind-up , a blog in which every week I look to tackle each day’s top story in a search of a little known substance called Satire. By the end I will hope this will have made you laugh, at the very least will make you go ‘meh, that’s forgettable.’ then we can all move on and agree to not speak of this again. But until then you’ll have to deal with some poorly constructed sentences.  Monday 29th July Monday’s biggest story was about the finale of an ITV dating show, which apparently people care about. A couple called Amber and Greg won the show and together won a sum of £25 grand each, because the pursuit of £25k by degrading oneself on public television is apparently appealing to our generation. Well done to Amber and Greg, a pair of names that wouldn’t be out of place in a local Wetherspoons at 9am on a Tuesday morning, you’ve managed to increase your social media influence to hopefully win some ad deals to c...
