About the Weakly Whirled News

A unique perspective, or it might just be a squint – a new government, a new kind of despair throughout the land and a new format

Regular readers – those on a high-fibre diet – will need no reminding that the Weakly Whirled News has been reporting on, around and about the news for many years, probably since 2010.

Over that time, not a single fact has been harmed by inclusion into any paragraph. It’s a record we’re proud of, much like a has-been politician who looks back at his career and thinks of all the nice suits he’s bought while forgetting the lives he’s destroyed and the people he’s annoyed.

Anyway, you can contact us here:
