    Bottom line.... She's bothered about the planet. Quite simple for me but perhaps I'VE got learning difficulties!

    Just wanted to put on record what an absolute c.nut arron banks is. If we're talking about people being played like a fiddle, this c.nut and his crew have a full ensemble of stradivarius

    The former, obviously. I'm surprised this is even up for debate.

    Perhaps she should just go home and shut up.

    Good idea. She must have missed lots of important special-school education already, which will only render her more gullible to the whims of those who use her to push their own agenda.

    It seems a bit unfair to have poor Greta's natural differences - be they gifts or burdens - amplified and used against her. It seems an obsession on here.

    And nobody on here knows enough of her to be sure as to whether, in terms of her activism, she's being helped to lead or being led.

    There are worse causes to find yourself involved with (though 2 weeks on a boat with a bucket for a bog is beyond my own "save the planet" threshold)

    Right wing brexit supporters having a problem with a young lass trying to do something good. Who’d have thunk it.

    There’s something very very different about our Greta.

    The same can be said of pretty much everyone in the public sphere, from parliamentarians down, however that's not stopped most of them fawning over her every word, as she validates their own daft obsessions and of course nicely serves the climate change industry's own ends.

    The political response to Thunberg has just reaffirmed for me that we are governed by idiots and charlatans.

    Being concerned about climate change and the possible eradication of life on earth as we know it (Jim) - such a daft obsession.

    Seriously, I’ve always thought you are mental, now more than ever.

    You continue to push the agenda of the right wing media and then claim someone irrespective of her ‘spectrums’ who is speaking on behalf of humanity, then go on to claim she is the mouth piece or puppet of some greater force. She’s a young girl who speaks more eloquently than most of us, in another language from her native tongue and one who should be lauded.

    You can’t even spell ‘shield’ and it’s your own language. Whether she’s on a spectrum or not (which isn’t a bad thing anyway btw) she’ll achieve significantly more for humans than people like you ever will.

    What exactly is "the climate change industry"? Why are you so opposed to the idea of climate change, out of interest?

    I'm pretty sure she'd say the same about you.

    What he means is she’s foreign.

    How anyone can’t be inspired by a young girl being assertive about a fcukking important subject like this is beyond any kind of understanding.

    My daughter has just got A* A and B in her A levels and I’m proud as hell. But I know she’d give it all up to do what Greta has done.

    The kids in the US who have dropped out of uni to fight against Gun Laws in America will have more impact than letters on a piece of paper. These kids are potentially sacrificing their existence for the betterment of society.

    Not in Young Nudger or DTs eyes. They are mouthpieces for people who don’t like guns or destroying the world. Silly kids.

    An industry which is worth billions (if not more) and depends entirely on the idea that climate change is in some way 'man made', a hypothesis for which there is still literally zero actual supporting evidence. This kind of scam has been going on for decades, we've swung from cooling to warming (and points in between) and back again, and don't forget the ozone layer!

    It's all about the cash, and of course now also virtue signalling, the new religion of our representatives (and celebrities and national broadcaster, God help us), hence their embarrassing fawning over a child with special needs (but no scientific know-how) who helps them push the narrative.

    This board has some complete and utter planks posting on it. It's depressing to be quite honest.
