Watering my whatever-they-ares on the patio yesterday afternoon, I was repeatedly irritated by manhood-substitutes (aka helicopters) returning from Silverstone, where Lewis Hamilton had become the second English sportsman to disgrace his country in a short space of time.
In pursuit of glory, Hamilton had hospitalised his biggest rival by driving him off the track, in the same spirit of fair play as footballer Raheem Sterling who, a couple of weeks ago, dived to secure a penalty during the Euros. Yup. We can secure ‘em, but we can’t score ‘em.
I popped indoors and checked Flightradar24.com to see how many more of the buggers were due to warm the planet in the next few minutes. I scrolled over to Silverstone and there they were, cartoon-helicopters here, there and everywhere, like plundering ants ruining a kids’ picnic, taking the rich, famous, vulgar and hypocritical back to their status-symbol mansions, which could house at least 20 low-income families, to sip ass’s milk and bathe in champagne.
At some stage, one or more of these rich, famous, vulgar hypocrites will once again lecture we penniless plebs about eschewing our favourite free-range beef burgers for something that looks like it came out of a Covid test-tube, how we’re all going to hell because our great-great-great-great-great uncle Abe once put Caribbean sugar in his tea, and how the English countryside should be destroyed by wind farms, solar farms, but also racing tracks and heliports, as long they’re not in their own back yards.
One of the biggest lecherers lecturers of course is
Hamilton himself, who has made his fortune from planet-warming motor cars, hopped
on countless planet-warming planes, failed to criticise planet-warming
helicopters, and indulged in planet-warming clothes (which are tasteless by the
way). But he has the gall to berate the rest of us about how our diets support the
meat and dairy industry (i.e. hard-working, underpaid, taken-for-granted
farmers) which leads to deforestation, animal cruelty, and nature-decay, and
that we should all go vegan.
If he really cared about the planet, he’d urge we mortals to buy locally farmed food and support farmers in their quest to support nature on their land, something some have struggled to do because of various Government policies that would have driven them out of business. And, not that Hamilton would know this, but even the most nature-unfriendly farmland became even less friendly once HS2 stole and decimated huge green tracts in their notorious, immoral land-grab.
But I digress. (Again.)
In addition to his hypocrisy and ignorance about climate change, Hamilton takes the biscuit with his knee-taking, fist-raising, BLM-supporting, establishment-rebuking campaign against racism. All too quick to rebuke, scold, criticise and demonise said establishment that has supposedly benefited from ‘colonial-crimes’, he was very eager to become part of the establishment when he accepted his knighthood. A knighthood? For driving a fast car very fast and very unfairly and exacerbating climate change?
Does he not see the irony?
And another thing. Hamilton lives in Monaco, a tax haven. He actively avoids his duty to pay tax in Britain, where knighthoods used to be rewarded for selflessness, bravery and chivalry.
Does he not see the vulgarity?
