I wish I’d had the courage and awareness she has when I was her age.

What for this time and who tf cares.
Very weird I haven’t heard from any of the Free Speech Fans about this one!
edit: as requested below by two people, I should clarify it’s not Free Speech if a motorist is inconvenienced at all – Free Speech only counts if it’s done on a pavement or by a horribly silenced individual who also has a national newspaper column
Remember that time when the world deluded itself into thinking a 16 year old poorly educated girl had the answer to the world’s problems?
Gotta respect her for not only standing up for her generations future but also being the GOAT at making grown gammon-tinted men froth at the mouth
I still think she’s being very ill-advised lately. These convictions when she gets them are going to make her globe trotting style of campaigning more difficult.
You can argue about her logic, training, or method, but I think you’d have to be trying really really hard to debt that she’s had a punchy impact in the last five years.
Again, putting aside her entire message for a moment, surely people can see that an enforced change of tactics that potential restrictions from visiting countries she might need to visit are going to make delivering that message harder?
