School kids protest climate change

Fantastic.
These kids will inherit the fcuking mess we have made of this planet.
See Mavis has criticised them for taking a day off school to protest about seventy years of damage to our world caused by her generation and which could fcuk the lives of these kids.

Completely agree.

The fucking wench has an apalling attitude.

What a refreshingly brilliant thing to see today the thousands of school kids protesting against government weakness on the climate change issue.

Establishment commentators unsurprisingly have spoken out against them but it won’t stop them caring about their futures.

Did anyone’s kids go?

Good for them - glad to see their getting involved in activism and politics - this will be the major issue facing their generation. I have seen several kids interviewed today and have been very impressed by their knowledge and eloquence - came across very well. I like the govt saying its a bad thing to miss a days school - I assume that doesn't apply when you call a snap election and they are off for the day whilst their school becomes a polling station eh?

As if they really need to be taught so much servitude to a system that jeapordises their future. The amunt of hours spend on schools is rediculous anyway and really mostly finds its reason in that parents need to drop their kids somewhere for the time they need to slave away for the greediest fuckers of history. The education is full of redundancy and simply not in the 21st century yet given the sheer potential for digitalisation in education.

@Len Rum approves this post.
 
I cant believe how patronising the coverage is to their protest. It's a sincere issue yet they've all gone with the give the cute kid time on tele angle.

Had it been a TUC sanctioned protest they'd be screaming communist revolution taking place.
 
Fair play to them. Great to see kids being passionate about something and standing up for what they believe in. I see the likes of May and Leadsom are bleating on about truancy though. They’re so woefully out of touch it’s untrue.
 
My son went on the Brighton march. We feel bad now that we told our daughter she couldn't go as actually she's much more passionate on the issue, but we thought she was too young. However lots of her friends and classmates went. The school took a pretty relaxed and mature approach, unlike Mayday and her ilk, who it seems just cannot stop themselves being patronising and appearing/being woefully out of touch.

They have to appease their voters, of whom the less said the better

They shouldn’t be but they realise they will die in a storm if they don’t.

Where do you stop? the world is a hard place. life is hard. people are cruel.
How about striking for the homeless, or the poor, or world peace, or equality, or tolerance?

The children are the next generation. Let them lead by example. Instead of a strike, which is militant behaviour and negative, why not a rally, which can be positive?
A bazillion kids making way to central UK to celebrate the environment would send a bigger message imho.

School is a right in the west, but its also a gift and a privilege. Not to be wasted on political whimsy
 
Most of the kids I heard didn't have a clue about the issue.

Just spouted clichés.

Would rather they spent a day actually learning about the environment.

I honestly cannot fathom how you can look at that today and think negatively.

Climate change is going to kill everyone on the planet - their futures are being fucking stolen by ignorance and they cannot do anything but protest.

Equality and homelessness etc. are big issues but this is apocalyptic and these smart kids know it.

Why would they “celebrate the environment” it’s being fucked for them?

This sent a message and it’s sadly one being ignored.
