Climate protests in Britain have taken a sickening turn, with a member of Christian Climate Action and Extinction Rebellion mutilating himself in public to draw attention to his views on Rupert Murdoch and the alleged climate crisis.
Priest sews his mouth shut over ‘muting of climate science by Murdoch media’
By Maeve Campbell
Updated: 03/08/2021A priest has sewn his lips together to protest against the “suppression” of climate science in Rupert Murdoch’s media outlets.
Reverend Tim Hewes, 71, carried out the symbolic act outside News UK’s office in Central London yesterday. It’s home to the UK arm of Murdoch’s global news empire, News Corps.
In a video released on YouTube, Hewes calls Murdoch a “climate change denier, dissembler and delayer” and says the media mogul has influence over governments which has led to a lack of meaningful action on the climate crisis.
Alongside Hewes, a Church of England priest in the Diocese of Oxford and a former dentist, was Reverend Mark Coleman, 62. Coleman took a letter into the building addressed to the Environment Editor at The Times newspaper, asking him to meet and discuss the situation.
Who is behind the protest?
The Reverend is part of Christian Climate Action, a branch of the climate movement Extinction Rebellion.

What can I say – I think most of us wish the Anglican Church would focus on more immediate problems.
The following is the youtube video of the protest, do not watch the video or click the read more link above unless you have a strong stomach. You will see graphic photos and videos of Reverend Tim Hewes’ act of self mutilation.
I was in two minds whether to cover this story. There is a legitimate concern that publicity is what the perpetrator of this gross act of self mutilation wants, and I’m helping to supply that publicity. More misguided attention seekers might follow his example.
But I think it is important to hilight the true state of mind of the most extreme climate activists in Britain. What will their next move will be, when self mutilation fails to deliver the outcome they want? I do not want to be anywhere near the action when we all learn the answer to that question.
Sounds like a ‘reasonable’ thing to do … they should all do so 😉
Aren’t people also Blind to their “facts”?
And Deaf to the rantings of Loons?
And don’t they still produce methane?
Sounds like this Climate Priest hasn’t attended to all possibilities.
So much for the Climate Faithful!!!
This guy may be dumber than an Afghan.
Hey! Afghans are nice dogs.
Now he just needs to sew his anus shut to stop emitting GHG in his farts and we’ll be all saved.
No, he needs to stop exhaling CO2, now.
I think both ends serve the same function.
But if he sews his anus up how on Earth will he be able to talk through it?
This is truly a most alarming turn for the worse. Once they start self-mutilating, the next stage to achieve their objectives is to start mutilating other people, especially those who question & challenge the AGW orthodoxy!!!
‘This is truly a most alarming turn for the worse. Once they start self-mutilating, the next stage to achieve their objectives is to start mutilating other people, especially those who question & challenge the AGW orthodoxy!!!’
Not really. After self-mutilation comes self-immolation. I can quite happily contemplate watching IR loons setting fire to themselves.
I think Alan is right. They may think they have the right to stamp out the devil as they see it. Salem witch trials 🤔
They are rationalizing having the moral high ground and therefore are justified in doing anything to save the
whalesworld.Thus emitting yet more of the Devil’s molecule!
Using petroleum products to get started, no doubt.
It starts with the atom: 6 carbons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons. 666 the number of the beast.
Is there a site where I can send donations for gasoline, matches, nails, hammers, sewing needles ….. ?
Send a good joke too. You’ll leave him in stitches.
The killer joke. My dog has got no nose.
How does it smell?
And he won’t repeat it.
What is the “carbon budget” of the operation?
I was thinking the same thing Alan. But I am not totally alarmed by this. Now, when Gretta sews some part of here body closed, that will alarm me.
If that doesn’t work, they should all try sewing their anuses shut next. Then they will be truly full of sh**.
That “great minds” thing.
So why should anyone care what the mentally/intellectually ill think?
See also Greta, the school dropout.
Because it’s often the mentally/intellectually ill that go off on mass killing sprees. Best to identify them and get them help before that happens.
He needs a strait-jacket and a padded cell to protect himself from idiocy.
Did it have something to do with his dentistry past possibly?
All the dentists I know are well aware that the cAGW thing is a load of fetid garbage. Many of us dentists are also well aware that COVID is also a massive fraud. Maybe I just hang out with the wrong arch of dentists?
He’s an ex-dentist, similar to an ex-parrot.
What do you mean Covid is a “fraud”?
When a not unusual epidemic surge of a new and respiratory virus with low lethality and low IFR, Sars-Cov-2, was politically transformed in a major threat that justifies all attacks to democracy and peoples rights named COVID-19. That, the creation of a new “disease” COVID-19 out of a virus epidemic presenting a very little risk, that political move was a fraud.
Almost all data on Covid cases etc is suspect, so I only follow Total Mortality.
There is an initial increased Total Mortality associated with the infection. I put a lot of that down to poor treatment and disruption of standard medical support, but we have insufficient information to determine this.
Total Mortality rates then started running below average…
You did right. Total mortality is the first criterion in epidemiology, to evaluate any new upsurge and its tendency to increase, enter a steady-state or disappear.
Not “cases”: they are meaningless in ANY quantitative epidemiological study. “Cases”, as the word is now used, are not “clinical cases”, i.e., people actually diseased: they are “positive” (true or false) PCR or other test which detects the presence of the pathogen or parts thereof BUT say NOTHING about its activity, viability, etc. A dead dog will be detected by PCR but it will not bark nor bite.
Several years ago the terrain was prepared at WHO, when they made a “slight” change of their “definition” of “pandemic”: it was a spreading disease of great severity quickly spread all over the world and it was reformulated as a spreading disease quickly spread all over the world; so, irrespective of severity or lethality. That is to say, common flu caused by about 20 different viruses, each one is a “pandemic”, according to the current definition. Of course, this has nothing to do with the science of epidemiology…
So now, if a disease, however mild, spreads quickly, as evaluated by “tests” that identify parts of its agent, then we have a “pandemic”.
This amounts of throwing in the dustbin more than one century of epidemiological research (and the correlated research on public health measures).
Tyrannical despots forbidding doctors from prescribing effective drugs made the situation worse.
Between the lockdowns and the mandatory mask requirements, I would expect flu infections and deaths to plummet.
Inglesby, et al., 2006: Masks don’t work and neither do lockdowns.
Yes, very good to recall this reference paper.
Oh they (lockdowns) work. They work at destroying economies and livelyhoods.
Yes. So why didn’t they plummet?
They did. Go to the CDC website and you’ll see. There’s a very large difference in the numbers as can be seen from this chart:
ILI30_small.gif (1500×1125) (cdc.gov)
Notice the line of red-triangles (the 2020-2021 flu season) it’s the lowest line on that chart all throughout the lockdown/mask period of 2020 going into 2021.Notice that the line remains well under the national baseline the entire season to date. It’s only in recent weeks where the line starts to spike up (which is also rather unusual), and even that is well below the peaks of prior flu seasons (which happen much earlier in the season) suggesting that going into next years flu season (2021-2022) we’re likely to see a higher flu season than this years has been.
So, let me ask, on what data are you basing your baseless comment that they “didn’t plummet” on?
Do you need a list of the Fauci/CDC lies?
funny you say that
had a VERY interesting chat with my dentist last week after his minion left the room re covid and ivermectin. he will NOT be getting any vaxes
Hang on there High Treason.
Over here in the Scottish gulag, we have a deranged dentist called Jason Leitch who is the pretend Scottish government “expert” advisor on all things Chinese Communist Party Flu.
Not only that but he is also an expert on Scottish football and is all over the biased media like a dose of pox.
At least he has had medical training. Here in Aus, we have ex-lawyers advising the state Govn’t on public health matters.
Maybe he’ll regret doing this when the Novocain wears off.
Where did he get the Novocain?
I can’t get a (human) ivermectin prescription. Some doctors (Oregon) are getting slapped around for their practices.
And this guy finds a good dose of a controlled substance to use for a very weird purpose.
Do the medical boards over there look the other way for political use of novicain?
I have been thinking about wearing a gimp mask and glueing my privates to the footpath. I would look forward to having a stranger apply acetone to said privates. What would I be protesting? Nothing. It would just be painful and fun.
At the same juvenile level of your comment, Alexy: Q. What does a Sadist do to a Masochist? A. Nothing.
I’m more curious about what a masochist would do to a sadist.
Just ask for it . . silly ; )
Glue his stuff to something & ask for ‘help’ …
Alexy, if you want your protest to be published in WUWT you also need to work a live polar bear into the stunt! 🙂
I refuse to glue myself to a polar bear.
I’d pay to watch that, from a safe vantage point.
Didn’t polar bears go extinct years ago?
Yes. The official mascot of environmentalism is, once again, the elephant. Also, they hold pride parades to celebrate lions, lionesses, and their cubs playing in gay revelry.
Then they should be campaigning against poaching, not the “climate crisis” bullshit.
As the old punchline goes,
“It wouldn’t stop global warming and would only annoy the polar bear.”
I’d like to see a bunch of IR idiots try to glue a polar bear’s privates to the pavement. With no “interference” from the authorities, of course.
If you could get a spine, you could get on its back it when it was darted. That would be some major league selfies when it woke up, as long as no one came along with the bottle of acetone that is.
I think we should all on the skeptic side of things commit a collective act of self and mutual immolation. Before you get worried and reach for the fire extinguisher let me define immolation
mid 16th century (earlier (late Middle English) as immolation ): from Latin immolat- ‘sprinkled with sacrificial meal’, from the verb immolare, from in- ‘upon’ + mola ‘meal’.
To be technical it is a transferred epithet for barbecuing oneself.
So running around Trafalgar square and the Houses of Parliament with a bag of stone ground oats springling all would certainly focus the attention off the great, and the good , if they can be found otherwise we will settle for the mediocre and self seeking there to be found in greater numbers
a collective act of self and mutual immolation.
Have you calculated the Carbon footprint for that? They’ll want to know….
Alastair,
It is probably a silly question (and your use of off in stead of of is probably a computer fault) but I have no inclination to remove the focus of attention OFF the grate and the good.
twisted lad;-)))
Thank you
And nothing a dose of itching powder won’t correct. Get it at your local party shop.
He can keep them stitched up as a symbol of the way his evil organisation wants to stitch up our society.. Mouths sewn shut is a symbol of the mass starvation that will inevitably follow the policies of this evil religious cull.
Are you referring to the Church of England or Extinction Rebellion? Or both?
Th C of E runs most of the food banks in the country and provides vital community resources in the most deprived areas.
And it finds a place for all people, even the mentally ill.
As this article shows.
Oddly, the more food banks there are, the more people avail themselves of their offerings.
Not everyone who is of the Christian faith possesses similar opinions, & many of us are a technical persuasion too!!!
The Bible tells me that a fool by his own mouth will be condemned.
…..and we would give a Rat’s Arse that an ER Clown decided to sew his lips together because…..
The more that follow his actions the better is my observation?
I’d rather they seek the mental help they so desperately need.
Murdoch controls the world? This guy is a deranged nitwit.
His irrational rant demontrates that. Who does this appeal to?
“Murdoch controls the world?”
–
Good point, Billy. If it weren’t for the snippets from Murdoch’s outlets that I see here, I’d barely know anything about the views his businesses are pushing.
I think every Murdoch media outlet could go “We’re all gonna DIE!” 24/7 and it wouldn’t change a thing.
When the warning sirens are stuck, after a few hours or days, wouldn’t the majority just wish that someone would turn the #@&! thing off?
The same thing is already happening to all media and people are turning them off. It seems Murdoch thinks a little variety is a better strategy.
–
P.S. I agree 100%. The guy is a deranged nitwit.
self-flagellation: extreme criticism of oneself
The so-called ‘priest’ has carried out many ridiculous stunts being arrested and sent to prison in the past few years for the same ’cause’.
He starved himself for a week back in 2009 so he could ‘experience how desperate it feels to be hungry’ and generously posed looking very saintly for a news photo.
Definitely a disturbed individual probably an example of the martyr complex or victim complex ‘sometimes considered a form of masochism’ (Wiki).
According to the Church Times one Rev Timothy Hewes retired or resigned from the Anglican ministry in 2017.
Eco-Munchausen.
I should point out, for non-UK readers, that the Murdoch press in the UK (The Times, The Sun etc.) are 100% behind the Glowbull Warming scam. Just not quite as hardline as The Grauniad.
So I have to wonder if this XR nitwit actually has read any of the papers he protests about.
Or perhaps he gets all his news from Oz and the US, where Murdoch papers are a trifle more balanced.
As for the suggestion that he should stick to the supposed mission of the Church, I’m afraid that Church attendance continues to drop like a stone, as the CoE is far more interested in burnishing their Woke credentials than in promoting Christian values. And, of course, many churches have remained tightly shuttered during the Lockdown Panicdemic.
All mainline churches / sects are WOKE since the Second Vatican Council (1965) forced ecumenism on the faithful. Ecumenism, tolerance of evil and sin for the sake of tithes. SEDEVACANTISM has come to the Oval Office as well as the Holy See

I’ll take him more seriously when he practises self-immolation. But Greta could learn something from his antics. Crazy glue would probably work well enough, and not hurt so much.
Pity the mentally ill loon doesn’t stop exhaling.
The Buddhist monks in South Vietnam poured gasoline over themselves and lit it afire. Tough way to go, but you couldn’t doubt the sincerity of their convictions. That cannot be said of their sanity, nor the priest’s.
The idea that climate alarmism has become a religion couldn’t be more clearer. And yet this is clear evidence of the psychological damage that those pushing the lies are doing to more impressionable people. Those activist scientists and their media shills should be thoroughly ashamed.
He can still hear, see, but can’t speak no evil. Not quite so wise monkey
What state of mind did people have when they burnt women alive for being witches? That was only a few hundred years ago. Did the possibility for people to get into these states of mind go away?
At least he can’t infect his flock with his delusions. May it catch on.
Well, he also needs to sew his fingers together and into a fist so he can’t write or type is delusions and communicate them that way.
You’ve heard of Trump Derangement Syndrome, well let’s dial that same mental illness up to 12 and call it Climate Derangement Syndrome CDS.
So tragic that people can live this way
Well, at least he’s CofE.
We know about them.
The next logical step is to do what Christian Priests did in Medieval Islamic Spain and have public acts of self destruction or get themselves executed. A similar practice has been used by Buddhist Priests in various countries.
But clicking on the video – he get click pay!
So don’t click even if you are just currious to see this insane happening
kind regards
