It doesn’t really matter what you think about Greta Thunberg but you have to admire her at some level.
What other 18-year-old has the temerity to stand up in public and take the mickey out of most of our world leaders? I certainly don’t know any.
When she sent them up about their pledges about helping to avert climate change, repeating their words and adding “blah, blah, blah” it showed them up for what they are.
Just a bunch of people in charge mouthing empty words whilst continuing to live as they want. Classic case of ‘do as I say, not do as I do’ and it was about time they got called out.

And that floppy-haired chap residing at Number 10 Downing Street is not exactly showing any great concern about this as he stands ready to become a father for the seventh time.
I did think it might be a good idea to send him a box of condoms, but realised that I might have to deliver them personally in order to demonstrate how to use one. I’ve not been able to sleep properly since having had this thought.
