The only part of her speech I didn’t quite feel comfortable with, was the “how dare you steal my dreams and my future” bit.
There are millions of kids from all over the world who’ve literally had their dreams and futures stolen from them by needless conflicts, paedophillia and murderers, and it’s still happening. Nobody has ever stepped up to be a voice for them.
Greta will still have her whole life in front of her.
As I said, I admire her and her determination, but everytime someone tries to voice a positive or peacefull message on the world stage, their appears to be a minority who want to shoot them down. Sometimes literally when you look back in history. The fact that she’s so young and a female makes it even more disgusting.
She's a fraud. A 16yr old girl who has time to arrange a sailing trip round the world, organise 'strikes', prepare legal cases against 5 major countries, presumably as well as go to school, do homework etc.
I'm all for looking after the planet but maybe she should arrange the 'strikes' for Saturdays and see how many kids turn up..
