Climate Change Protests - will they make a difference?

Made no difference at all that she shared it!

Greta has sensible parents too.

I think she had more protection from her parents though? They decided her education was more important and of course in her case she was a target for extremists.

I just think this kid looked haunted and I think it’s a bit like being a child movie star and that often goes tits up doesn’t it!

Too much too young

I quite like him (Gove)

Don't tell teacher daughter I said that!

Na no sensible parent allows a kid to wag off school every Friday and address ‘the world’

In my opinion they are very neglectful and exploitative but time will tell.

Actually dh briefly worked at defra and he thought he was pretty amiable If whimsical.

His briefcase was always undone and shedding documents

My sister is a teacher and he’s the Antichrist

Sigh!

Oh Gonegirl take s chill pill!! You doing your grandsons washing or have you dodged that bullet!

His washing?

He doesn't live with me. His mum does his washing.

(wtf?)

Blimey I thought you would say he does his own washing

I was then going to take the piss glad to see the climate change warrior still gets mum to do his washing.

Just like my animal rights warrior dd who did voluntary work with the local animal sanctuary and brought home jeans smeared with donkey shite.

Bless em

Frankly, having seen her speech and subsequent interviews, if I knew nothing about her I'd say she has little to no facial expression or animation and her pigtails make her look like a 12yr old.
She (sadly) looks like an automaton.

True colours showing now Gabriella.

Actually I think we are posting on the wrong thread here neah

There is a specific one about Greta.

Emma Thompson was interviewed on R4 this morning.

To pick out just one of her gormless gems, and they were many, was the statement 'Until all these demonstrations began the government had done nothing (about climate change.

As she said this 25% of our power was coming from renewable sources, 43%, if you include nuclear (emission free). On the day of one of the major demonstrations nearly 50% of our power was from renewable sources, 65% if you include nuclear and we were in the longest period ever (90 hours plus) when coal was not being used to generate power. It only produces a couple of a % of power these days at its worst.

And imagine all that renewable power has been installed in less than a week since ER began their demonstrations, or according to Emma that is what happened

Then there was her justification of flying in from LA for the demonstration - no I wont go there, it was too ridiculous.

God she’s a bore off isn’t she! I do wish these so called celebrities and singers would understand that because they are talented in their field that doesn’t make them either well informed or interesting in all areas.

Oh please "go there" M0nica I didn't hear it. What a first class hypocrite she is !

Wow! That is a horribly judgemental post and shows your ignorance of autism. Lack of facial expression is one of the symptoms.

Well clearly I heard a very different interview from * MO* but then neither of us were listening with an open mind. At least ET didn’t charter a private jet

GabriellaG54:...^"she has little to no facial expression or animation and her pigtails make her look like a 12yr old.

Lack of facial expression is of course one of the characteristics of autism.

Scandinavians often look younger than they are because they tend to go in for a more natural look, e.g. girls often don't wear make-up.

Pigtails. What is wrong about them? Would you have preferred it if she had adopted a more sexy look?

"She looks like an automaton". What a cruel comment.

We must also remember that she is under extra pressure because she is delivering her message here in a foreign language.

You’re not THE Greta are you Greta??

No, Urmstongran. I'm Greta Garbo!

They're my views, take 'em or leave 'em.
As for Gonegirl and 'true colours', a big thank you ???????
I knew we'd agree on some points sooner or later.

Anja
I can't possibly be judgemental if I am ignorant of Autistim and it's effects.

Greta ?

Gabriella I am amazed you agree with me. Especially as some words I had in mind were "bitchy" and "mean-spirited". And, perhaps worst of all - "silly".

Now a dozen or so of them have super glued themselves to the London Stock Exchange.

I’d leave them up there.
