Lewis Hamilton and the unbearable climate change hypocrites

By now we’re all used to being lectured by woke hypocritical celebs. But Lewis Hamilton’s suggestion that we all turn vegan in order to save the planet takes the biscuit. This is a man who zooms around a track in gas-guzzling speed-machines for a living and he wants the rest of us to eke out an existence on kale and nuts in order to shrink humanity’s carbon footprint? The gall is off the charts.

In an Instagram post, Hamilton said adopting a vegan diet is the ‘only way to truly save our planet’. He posted a heartfelt message saying the meat and dairy industries are leading to ‘deforestation, animal cruelty [and] our seas and climate decaying on a daily basis’. Whether he then went for a carbon-spewing spin in one of his ‘incredibly expensive cars’ is unknown.

I mean, seriously. Formula One is known for its insane wealth and decadence and the copious amounts of fuel it burns.
