No, it's another spiteful personal attack on her from the Right.  She must be doing something right.

That article is pretentious bollocks. It’s clear that the world and all its inhabitants not just humans are suffering at the hands of our vacuous demands for stuff to consume. Buy stuff, buy more stuff, buy even more stuff you don’t need is not a policy that is sustainable and will effect the following generations. The fact that the vilest, most self absorbed, sociopaths, liars and bigots are this ‘idols’ biggest critics makes me think she has a point and they have vested interests to protect and hide.

There is a power struggle / clash of generations going on and those trying to stop the next generation have radical opinions / actions  that differ with there view of the world will realise time is no respecter of a nice suit, big bank balance and a sarcastic tweet.

Without this being aimed at the first poster, you can generally judge how much of a nob someone is by their opinion on Greta Thunberg

Agreed and many more on that list too. I'm not an advocate of the article but and advocate of actually thinking about solving the problem and putting policies in place. Whilst it may all be white rightist propaganda the real solutions to the problem go undiscussed whilst a laudable but somewhat ideas challenged Greta sails the ocean on a wave of twitter and instagram. And maybe it will provide column inches and motivate some but the real solutions lie in a much wider collaboration that needs discussion.

We won't be talking about some of the stuff Labour put put today about trying to deal with the future (or whether it will or not) but some legal bollox and Boris Johnson, Greta's holiday tour and backward looking Brexit. Jeez

Fair enough and thank you for not taking umbrage with me Billy I don't think Greta is doing anything but good for the cause but that's where we will have to agree to differ.
