Climate Change Protests - will they make a difference?

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

There is a specific one about Greta.

True colours showing now Gabriella.

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

His washing?

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

(wtf?)

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

Sigh!

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

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.

I quite like him (Gove)

Don't tell teacher daughter I said that!

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

Made no difference at all that she shared it!

Greta has sensible parents too.

I don’t think winning solely or jointly makes any difference at all to exposure and she’s had plenty of that in all sorts of contexts

Christ would you vote for him???

She did but not solely which would have put her far more in the spotlight.

She has sensibly parents though.

Going by the majority of GNrs, showing admiration for Greta won't win him any votes!

Gonegirl

I do!! all kids are clearly not as protected well brought up and lucky as your grandson.

She did win it. Shared it with an Indian children's rights activist.

Gonegirl

Gove wants to be PM! He would agree with anyone he thinks would get him votes.

She's at university now, pursuing her studies, which was my point.

I thought not. was joking - am I losing the plot?
