'Following former celebrity Charlotte Church’s musical protest against Shell last week, Greenpeace have wheeled out Emma Thompson to fight climate change… with a poem.
Choice lines include “do you think we should just burn, baby, burn” and “do you just think we should boil, baby boil“. She also appears to compare energy sector workers to Nazis. Safe to say it went on much longer than the presenter was expecting…'

Those lines sound cringey on their own. I'd have to hear the whole thing but I can't be arsed to click the link atm.
Godwins Law has outlived it's use for me at this point. Obviously it's just stupid to compare anything you don't like to the Nazis but people use it as this shutting off device to mark the Nazis out as like this unique evil that can have no parallels and as someone who studies history, I don't think that's a comparison that should be off the table as long as you can provide reasons/evidence for making it.
Actually I came across them on FB, I have never heard of Breitbart prior to today and Guido's stuff is good for a laugh, but too short usually. Nice try to try and discredit me as a right wing loon (although since when did being right wing become a pejorative term?.). Play the ball, not the man.
Oh, I don't know, cant abide the woman. Any excuse to highlight her drivel.
Do they think climate change is manmade or cyclical?
Suzie Kettles....:D
Why is this not in showbiz??
Some people really do have huge issues with someone expressing their opinion about a topic.
I'm not sure how finding someone comparing energy sector workers to Nazis distateful and having a little rant about it is denying someone a voice. Get a grip.
