Football fans who make offensive chants about wind turbines could face stiff jail sentences under plans by the government and the Football Association to ‘get tough’ with climate change deniers.My considered opinion about this simply outstanding satire is:
...
In recent years many football fans have reported their Saturday afternoons being blighted by an uneducated minority who pollute the stands with their anti-science chants. Global warming deniers have long taunted opposition fans with chants such as ‘You’re not singeing anymore’, and, in a reference to rising sea levels, ‘You only sing when you’re swimming’. Meanwhile West Country teams such as Yeovil Town, where there is a large wind turbine community, have been subject to abusive chants like ‘You can stick your fucking windmills up your arse’.
The FA’s campaign builds on research they conducted that found a clear link between the Holocaust, racism and scepticism towards claims by solar panel and wind turbine marketing managers.
1. Hahahahahahaha!
2. It's quite interesting that the Left, in their young firebrand days as soixante-huitards, never tired of mocking The Man. Yet they seem shocked - shocked! - to find that, now that they've taken administrative control of the Intellectual Organs of the State, that The Man is still a ripe target for mockery.

4. These people really think that they're smarter and sciencier™ than we are. It's quite astonishing.
The worst part is that I had to read it a couple times to be sure it was satire. Because it is absolutely the sort of thing they would do.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was serious up until it mentioned the link between the Holocaust, racism, and scepticism. If it was real the link would have been to Holocaust denial.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I like American sports. Real football is played in climate-controlled domes and NASCAR has been converting fossil fuel to greenhouse gas for decades.
