Jo Maugham, Director of the Good Law Project, posted on X: “What a brave, democratic, free speech loving, nation we have become under the so-called Conservative Party.”

The most pertinent part for me. The Tories have legalised suppression.

      The climate issues we are suffering are not just restricted to the UK borders. She has just as much right to complain as we do. We as a country do not have the right to destroy the planet.

        I know it’s not.

        But when Greta shows up, it’s all about her and not the protest anymore.

          It really is not. This is exactly how big companies want you to see things. Divide and conquer is a powerful tool used in many areas. My opinion is that the people of the west should be looking to change the grip fossil fuels has on our economy.

            Nah, it’s just media doing what media does.

            Celebrities generate more clicks. That’s all.

            I have no doubt Greta thinks she’s helping by continuously trying to martyr herself.

            Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about going as green as possible. I just don’t see her shenanigans as helpful.

              Well that’s because, as you damn fine demonstrated right in this thread here, you are dumb as fuck.

                Nice one. You really got me with that, my enlightened friend.

                I shall seek to change my ways with outmost urgency.

          It probably wouldn’t have been reported or shared at all, if she wasn’t there.

            Probably not. And that’s an issue in and of itself.

      Yikes, violence against those you disagree with. You’re a cool protester

      Funny … I only know about the protest because she was there and arrested.

      Funny … you’re bothering to promote her acts by commenting on social media about it.

      Go sit in the corner rude boy.

        Sounds more like maybe you just aren’t that interested in all the environment stuff.

      So are you joking about assaulting her, or are you actually saying you’d do it?

      At best, that’s a fairly toxic comment which doesn’t belong here
