Bloody communists.

The next proposal may as well be,

To reduce the impact of climate Change every human being should shoot themselves in the face.

The scary thing is a headline like that would not actually surprise me!

It's amazing how this green agenda is so similar to the communist agenda of our wonderful comrades in power. (Unless it applies to them....)

To be honest, it's stuff like this that completely disproves evolution. We think we're better than the cave men, because they feared the sun. Oh, how we laugh at their ignorance.

But these environMENTALS are doing the same thing about invisible gasses! At least you can see the sun! (which, ironically, may be the cause of climate change after all)

Surely, transporting all those rented clothes around would defeat the object? silly

Superb.

When society decides to throw you out, then you really do have nothing.

Let's all welcome back true poverty, the genuine ghetto, and perhaps even the concentration camp.

I mean, fk me, let's just make it clear, gas chambers are a really good way to get rid of all those people that have absolutely nothing, and really do undermine profit margins, and the bottom line.

That was exactly what I was thinking when I read the article!!

I have no kids so am going to use up their future emmisions by turning up the heating, hooning and looking good in my own clothes whilst drinking fine wines from abroad!!!

Good.

As st as this sort of thing sounds, it helps to highlight just how mental this crusade in the name of carbon really is.

The more people hear crazy claims like this and the more they realise just how much money being green will cost them for no obvious benefit, the less inclined they will be to sign up to it.

This is good.

The fact that it ends up in the paper without, 'April Fools!' at the bottom is a bad thing. This means that people with power think it is good. Which is bad.

The article translates thus:

"I'm a sad, lonely, and probably ugly woman. I don't have any nice clothes in my wardrobe - in fact I only have one party dress. I wish I did though and I'm jealous of all the people that do and since I can't afford to buy nice clothes I don't think anyone should be allowed to."

FFS love get yourself down the charity shop and do a bit of retail therapy and if you really want to you can bang on to your cat about how you are actually recycling by going to Oxfam and aren't you just the greenest of the green.

That is all.
