Peruvian-hatted puritan apostles of grassy nihilism

With the apparent Irish wedding of the century the soon-to-be-announced nuptials of Fianna Fail and the Green Party led by Trevor Sargeant (pictured above), it is probably appropriate to look at how some other media commentators look at people with Green-tinged beliefs.
The comments of a well-known UK restaurant critic, AA Gill, on Greens and their view of air travel and food, are not so much a rant but more of a thermo-nuclear eruption of vindictiveness. I really enjoyed his comments, such as:

Let me tell you, you Peruvian-hatted puritan apostles of grassy nihilism, the single hottest problem facing the planet is not global warming, but the viciously smug fundamentalist prohibitionists of the green movement. Those wholemealy-mouthed ecologists, who devoutly wish to reduce everyone else’s existence to a self-righteous nose-drip probity that never moves more than four miles from the communal yurt, never eats anything that hasn’t been grown in the communal dung and never thinks anything that isn’t collectively miserabilist, are going to destroy life as we know it faster than an equator of traffic jams, a continent of unlagged lofts and a squadron of circling jumbos.

He really gets warmed up doesn’t he? I must say I like his style. I can’t take credit for locating this outpouring of vitriol but was pointed in his direction by another blogger I like, Tim Blair. Tim is also worth keeping an eye on.
