ot greta thunberg

[flourbasher]

Not sure why people are criticising Greta Thunberg which I think is very harsh.
The world's press follow her around and give her huge amounts of air time which is exactly what she set out to do. She's come along way since her solitary placard on some steps in Sweden
Climate activism is now very much at the forefront of the general public's mind and there's even a thread about it on a football message board. Who would have thought it.

Most publicity is good publicity no matter what the quality of it is.

Very good point Flour. We can't afford to hang about on this...

[flourbasher]

Some people have missed the point here.
The reason why she's getting so much air time to get her points across is because she's a 16 year old schoolgirl who is different to the norm.
She's also got asbergers so to say she's an embarrassment is just not fair. Quirky perhaps but again that's why the media love her.
She's a PR dream and that's why she's exactly to right person to deliver the message
That scowl at Trump will be absolutely priceless to her future dealings with the press and will open a lot of other doors for her.
I,m sure many twenty somethings or middle aged people have tried to get the attention of the press and got nowt from them

Sinister globalists behind her using climate change to push for a global government.

They pick their figureheads carefully, how can anyone criticise an autistic child?

Or Gina Miller, a black woman?

Ah but Gina Miller is doing it for herself, to protect her own wealth.

Just another example of if you have money you can manipulate the law.

Very probably Grist

Blair created the Supreme Court, appointed the judges, every one of them voted Remain, it's a stitch-up, she's just a figurehead.

As I understand it the Supreme Court wasn't formed until 2009. Blair ceased to be PM in 2007. Possibly he played an early part in it's formation but "created it"?

two of the current 12 judges were appointed in 2009. The others were appointed in 2011, 2012 (2), 2013, 2017(3), 2018 (2), 2019. What have they got to do with Blair?
How do you know that they voted remain?

The first time Miller went to them they were all shown to be Remainers.

Now they've become political they should face elections, why should unelected people be making political decisions?

The Supreme Court was created by Blair to cover his back for what he did in Iraq.

Should be scrapped, we're not America.

Let's have a super supreme court so we can challenge the decisions of the supreme court

That seems to be the modern way.
