Obesity and climate change (update)

A musical update to my October 2007 piece about health fascism. I quoted a Half man Half Biscuit song and I have now found some video and the full lyrics...

The song is called "Turn a blind eye", here's the video and here are the lyrics:
"They came for the palmists, but I wasn’t a palmist so I did nothing
They came for the bungee jumpers, but I wasn’t a bungee jumper so I did nothing
They came for the players’ agents, but I wasn’t a players’ agent so I did nothing
They came for the Charles Manson fans, but I wasn’t a Charles Manson fan so I did nothing
They came for the reflexologists, but I wasn’t a reflexologist so I did nothing
They came for the camp TV chefs, but I wasn’t a camp TV chef so I did nothing
They came for the RoMos, I laughed
They came for the martial arts enthusiasts, but I wasn’t a martial arts enthusiast so I did nothing
They came for Eamonn Holmes and I think I’m right in saying I applauded
They came for the fire-eaters, but I wasn’t a fire-eater so I did nothing
They came for Dani Behr, I said she’s over there, behind the wardrobe

Turn a blind eye, sometimes it’s best to
Turn a blind eye, sometimes it’s best to
Turn a blind eye, sometimes it’s best to
Turn a blind eye, sometimes it’s best to
Turn a blind eye, sometimes it’s best to
Turn a blind eye, sometimes it’s best to
Turn a blind eye, sometimes it’s best to
Turn a blind eye, sometimes it’s best to"
