This is the reality behind the pig-tailed little girl being feted as the saviour of the world. It is just tragic. You really do need to read this.

3. You went to an established all-girls school and then a selective sixth-form that had previously been a grammar school. They certainly weren’t the “comprehensives” you and your commentariat pals like to denigrate in the public sphere week in and week out.

I don’t think you’re having a go but there is an important subtext that ASD kids still need a level of protection from themselves. Adults must be VERY careful when indulging in the way some have without understanding the impact.

You were born with the privilege of attending a decent school, (a shame they skipped on the science), and the privilege of a childhood safe in the knowledge that your adult years would not be riven by war, famine, disease and migration on a scale never before seen, unlike Greta.

Still not sure so many cross/ upset about a young person reminding us to look after our planet
-
Because she's not just "reminding us to look after our planet" at all. She's been given an international stage to call for a general strike. "Still not sure"?
-
She is inspiring and eloquent in her main message which is 'we need to do something?', and to those in power 'what are you going to do?'
