Anybody come across these Bell Ends before?

Three of them turned up at a meeting I attended last night on climate change. They were young, hairy, obsessed by conspiracy theories of the "world government" flavour, and amazingly ignorant, parroting the DM reader's habitual confusion of the weather with the climate. Quite bizarre.

Some, er, interesting links on their site there. They appear to be a bunch of swivel-eyed nutters, I doubt they'll have much impact in the UK. At least I hope not. Any group who idolises Alex Jones deserves only to be laughed at.

Hey!!! This is the "Serious Discussion" forum. Surely Alex Jones is off-topic here?

Their version of the BBC's site: http://www.bbc5.tv/ is hilarious. And crazy.

Is it legal to imitate a web-page like that?

Is this something to do with that nice "We are the British" chap who's walked in and shat himself all over the boards a few times?

Oh dear, and they seem to be based in Birmingham.

Not really left or right-wing, they just seem to be against everything. Hey-ho...

Check out the "eutube" Youtube channel, there are at least four of them all posting in a very similar manner on there

There is no sport on that BBC website as for the secret Treaty if they had read the Independent, Guardian or even the Times at any point between 2001 and say 2007 they would know it's not really much of a secret as I knew all about the agreement to extradition, they basically ignored it until it fitted in with something they felt passionate about.

Loonies who listen to Muse to much we have one such one on another board I post on.

With links to all sorts of batshit sites at the foot of the page. Including one promoting free, perpetual motion-based energy. And David Ike. :shock:

Libertarians. Check out the rabid endorsement of Ron Paul. I imagine from the BBC page that talked about "money as debt" they're big fans of the gold standard, they have a link to the film Taking Liberties (which is sad as the film is not loony) so they want 'freedom' and they are the sort of pro-capitalist who hates big corporations (exclusively, apparently, products of big government) but love the free market, deregulation and little mom and pop high street stores.

Also note the link on the BBC5 page to our old friends at TPUC, who seem to be cropping up everywhere there is a lunatic these days.

And:

Hilarious.

Blimey, I wonder if Lars Ulrich will be preparing one of his trademark lawsuits.
