This is amusing: We sing at events supporting peace and social justice around Oxfordshire.
That description from their web page seems nice, until you listen to what they are singing.
“what shall we do with the climate skeptics… if they won’t shut up?”
Maybe this? Hmmm, not so funny.
At least they didn’t explode any kids
h/t to The Daily Bayonet
UPDATE: The Lyrics
Climate Skeptic by Douglas Hamilton words copyright
Tune: What shall we do with the drunken sailor
The verses are sung in unison; the chorus is sung in harmony
Chorus:
What can you do with a climate skeptic x3
If they won’t shut up
1. Tie up their assets in coastal property x3
Rising expectations
2. Put ‘em in a desert and ration their water x3
We’ll see how they like it.
3. Take ‘em to the artic and make ‘em tread water x3
‘Mongst the polar bears.
4. Lock ‘em in a room with nothing but money x3
See what good it does them
5. Make ‘em explain to their children’s children x3
Why they did not care

Here they are singing that “famous socialist, communist, social-democratic and anarchist anthem,” The Internationale which, Wikipedia continues, “became the anthem of international socialism, and gained particular notoriety under the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1944, when it was that communist state’s de facto national anthem.”

I think that says just about everything that needs to be said about these junior totalitarians.
Green on the outside, red on the inside.
I have a suggestion for their next song- Little River Band -“Cool Change”
You’re going to tie up my assets in beach property…I might enjoy that!
[Best Bill Clinton voice] “C’mere, honey!”
“But they also have anti-Nazi songs. That’s good!”
No, it’s not that good.
I wonder how many will hold their hands up when the revolution comes?
It is the same with most propaganda, mindless drivvel taught to be spewed out by equally mindless people who feel ‘safe’ in numbers.
Exactly how many of said choir members does anyone think would be able to come here for a an intellectual open debate on the subject?
Well, they have clearly expressed hatred toward me. They have advocated assult on my peron and property. They have advocated suppression of my freedom of speach, my rights. (I think that is a violation of Civil Liberties laws, at least in the USA).
Does not the UK have a “Hate Speach” law? It would be nice to see it applied here.
BTW, I think the lyrics listed are a bit off. I heard “Tie up their assets in SOCIAL property rising expectations” i.e. confiscation of property. Also, “What SHALL we do” Intentionality.
I got very distracted by Nigel Farage on U tube. That is a character and a half.
I realize that people have freedom to express their opinion. HOWEVER when that opinion is to drown me, starve me, and feed me to the arctic wildlife, I call BullSnip. The worst part is that the only ways of dealing with this sort of hateful behavior involves behaving in a similarly morally deficient way.
how awful. in order to destroy it you have to be like it.
I have faith in the old karmic adage – what goes around comes around.
Shouldn’t it be “what shall we do with the climate skeptics… if we can’t blow them up?”
They have an official YouTube site and this little ditty is on it:

Twelve videos, most with double figure views. Guess which one has two thousand?
No one does the tweedy, middle class crank better than the English. Accept no substitutes.
They are “mostly harmless” though.
Bishop Hill and James Delingpoles take on the Armstrong & Miller video:
As always the comments are as interesting as the arcticles.

I am surprised it got thorough the BBC. But such is the 10:10 style group think of some producers, I imagine they were thinking the joke was on the sceptics, not themselves….
The Sea Green Singers meet 10:10:
This are people the same worldview, that in a different era, cheered on the National Socialists because their eugenics science was directing a society that was, in their view, more beneficial to mankind.
On InstaPundit this morning is an entry that direct your attention to a story about how many people Mao killed when his policies caused the Great Famine of 1958 to 1962.
The author says:
“Between 2 and 3 million of these victims were tortured to death or
summarily executed, often for the slightest infraction. People accused of
not working hard enough were hung and beaten; sometimes they were bound and
thrown into ponds. Punishments for the least violations included mutilation
and forcing people to eat excrement.
“Communists are as bad as Nazis, and their defenders and apologists are
as bad as Nazis’ defenders, but far more common. When you meet them, show
them no respect. They’re evil, stupid, and dishonest. They should not enjoy
the consequences of their behavior.”
Every single AGW-related policy recommendation is socialist in nature. Every single one implies more government and less personal liberty. Every single one of them seeks to diminish the prosperity we enjoy in the west. They are all to one degree or another socialist in nature. And socialism is just a polite term for communist. In the end, these people as we have seen are willing to propose that if we have to blow up children to coerce people to agree to their policy proscriptions, they will blow up children. How is this different from what Mao was willing to do? The only difference is that Mao had the power and these people do not, at least yet.
We’ve had to put up with the black shirt and brown shirt anti democracy movements of the twentieth century and now we have a new anti democracy movement in the twenty first century, the green shirt brigade. ]:
If Elmer and the M4GW singers sang any of their songs in public, they’d be arrested.
You only become the center of a hostile fixation when you’re perceived as a real and imminent threat. The more they heap it on in frenzied and irrational vitriole, the stronger we become. The 10:10 and the singalong create two huge advantages to the skeptics’ side. One is the hostility and extremism disgust a lot of people who may be neutral about AGW but will turn away because they are offended. The other is that the intensity and frequency of attacks act as a very reliable measure of the fear level within the AGW camp. I’ll be more worried when skeptics are no longer the sun around which the AGW planet revolves.
Interesting that their programme includes “Fight The Cuts” (a reference to the student/hard-left riots currently afflicting the UK) and the “Internationale” (the traditional anthem of international communism).

They’re not greens at all – they’re watermelons.

re STEPHANIE’s comment:
“we may be getting closer to ‘burning heretics’”
“Ah no, can’t do that – think of the carbon footprint!”

“I expect they’ll put us in the compost.”

Ney, I think you should look up Soylent Green…

Cough, Cough…
Orwell would have enjoyed putting these people in one of his hates.
What if we lived our song so sour
Lived with no cars, no oil, no power
We wouldn’t make the first 12 hours
(in harmony with sustain..)
If we practiced what we preeeeeeach…..
This is really offensive to me on a lot of levels. They are going to kidnap me and feed me to polar bears or dehydrate (torture) me in the desert because I don’t believe in the same propaganda that they do?
Had I been there I probably would have been quite disruptive.
