Greta Thunberg

Thought this remarkable girl/young woman deserved her own thread (I can't see one if there is, but apologies if I have missed it).

I didn't know until yesterday when I read a short article about her that she's on the autistic spectrum (diagnosed Aspergers), which makes her even more remarkable.

She's a true heroine for our ultra cynical times, and in her light all our so called politicians should be reflecting on their public lives and asking themselves some very hard questions about what exactly they are in it for.

What are they in it for? Themselves. Certainly not for the greater good.

Being in it for themselves, and attempting to live on a better, greener planet, is the greater good.

Sound bites and nothing more. Unless of course she has some well thought out balanced solution to offer the electorate MP's and planet but quite moving nevertheless to listen in to her as a caring representative for the younger generation.

Putting aside the crusade she's on, a truly remarkable young person.

The rentagobs have been trying to do a number on her apparently.

You can't really expect her to have a solution. She's a 16 year old kid with Aspergers.

But she's honed in on the problem like few before her and is challenging those who are in a position to do something or at least to start seriously thinking about what needs to be done.

We had a word for her in my day.

Truant.

Irrespective of her merits, Chakrabortty is the biggest rentagob of all. I quite like his stuff, but this piece.....pots and kettles.

Don't think he ever gets personal and resorts to calling people names.
