    I like her. She is fighting the good fight as far as I'm concerned. Yes the likes of her and Leonardo DiCaprio do take decisions which fly in the face of their protests. However as others have said its about the bigger picture, and change needs to happen on the large scale stuff before anything else. That is what is going to get us to the targets. Its similar to NUFC. Change needs to come from the top. There has to be large cultural change driven by those in power. Sprucing up your physio room with a lick of paint so Andy feels more comfortable is not groundbreaking. Similarly neither is the odd flight etc in combating climate change.

    The Thundercunt needs to do one, I feel sorry for her because she has been pushed in to this by her parents and adults around her but personally feel she is doing more harm than good as she is a stony faced, unemotive and aggressive speaker due to her Autism/Asperger in fairness.

    I can't take anything she says seriously due to her hypocrisy and am bored by her now. She needs to **** off back to Sweden, go back to school and try and learn how to communicate properly with people if she can, oh and take the other bunch of see you next Tuesdays extinction rebellion with her.

    She gets on my nerves, I would hate to have to spend any time in her company and I admire her greatly.

    On issues like this, there are two types of people in the world. There are those, like me, who try to keep the world functioning normally. There are those, like her, who say that the way the world normally functions is ****e. People like her annoy the **** out of people like me. She in particular annoys the **** out of me in particular. That doesn't mean I don't recognise how important she and her type is. If it had been left up to the likes of me, we would still happily be selling slaves, hunting whales and burning coal till the flood waters put out the flames.

    Maybe flying to a rally was a mistake. Maybe not. Whether or not she made a mistake on that point doesn't affect whether or not she is right.

    I’m pretty sure ACS just made up the fact she flew (or more likely someone else did and he copied and pasted as usual).

    I don't know if she flew or not from Sweden, though she is well known for avoiding flying. She definitely wasn't driven from an airport to Bristol though. She took a train to Bristol and was picked up in a NIssan Leaf from the station to the rally. It looks better on social media posts to say she did all of that though to make a point.

    There is no way to speak to and be heard by the whole world without generating some carbon. As a result, she will always fact the choice of being silent or of being accused of a degree of hypocrisy. She does generally try to generate as little carbon as possible.

    Those who want to say: "She is not perfect therefore I can ignore what she says" will do that. And no doubt feel very clever.

    To be fair to ACS it isn't his fault he believes everything he reads on social media. A lot of it is down to his Albergers Disease. Other symptoms include an obsession with shop windows and twitter, copying other people's work in prediction games and making **** matchday threads.

    He’s unhappy that he’s had to stop burning slaves, selling whales and hunting coal.
