I expect there’s many people feel the same Queenie.
I saw something in todays paper about her swearing in her speech recently…
Apparently she said someone or other was pis**d, and then went on to use the ‘F’ word.
Now she has promised to say something good every time she has said something bad.
I didn’t realise she is 18 now.
A strange little person isn’t she.
But he’s right though isn’t he Bruce?
You would expect someone banging on about saving the planet by reducing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere would have a clue what they were talking about!
Sometimes I’m quite shocked at the venom directed at Greta Thunberg. She’s only 18 after all and I thought it was nice to see her singing a rude song like an ordinary eighteen year old for once. (I hope those having a pop at her for it haven’t ever said “ass” or sung a disrespectful song when they were young, convenient memory loss, some people)
The most spiteful remarks seem to come from older people, often men and can be quite violent and cruel, about her appearance, disability etc. Even Trump had a go.
Do you think it’s an “Old Stag” patriarch thing and they don’t like being challenged and told they’re wrong by a disrespectful upstart, especially a girl? So they want to slap her down and put her in her place?
I even saw online an older gentleman, who was a grandfather, saying he’d like to spank her bottom!
I would never insult or offend her Maree, I never have, and would never condone insulting her. However, if you are prepared to stand up in front of the world’s media and voice your opinions you must accept the flak that is inevitably going to come your way. I blame her parents for using her in this way, and it is these who are taking away her childhood…
It is true that she’s always been very unchildlike, although I suppose that at 18 she’s a woman now. I do thing she’s probably been manipulated, it’s like showbiz parents, isn’t it?
That’s why I laughed when she was singing the shove it up your ass song, good to see her slip the leash and not be a goody two shoes, I bet that wasn’t in the script!
Of course if you put yourself in the public eye and are controversial you have to take on all comers but I do think a lot of the hostility she gets is over the top and quite cruel
