Arron Banks has been criticised after he appeared to wish harm upon Greta Thunberg as the 16-year-old activist set sail across the Atlantic in a solar-powered yacht on a zero-carbon two-week voyage.

aaronbanks is the personification of the entitled, brash, amoral, unaware world that has festered since greed became policy.
Disgusting individual....
Mate, that's not even funny!
What a poisonous and dim individual!
And they all looks stupid.
It wasn't a joke. This dirtbag is just another example of a wealthy, white man who's terrified of women and the change Greta is bringing to the world. Arron_banks Greta has your number and she's coming for you and your cronies. Step aside and let the leaders lead.
Oh no, someone told a joke, call the fire brigade! Call the Flying Squad! Oh the humanity! Won’t somebody please think of the children!
He is one of the trolls don't give him the media coverage
Sounds like he's about to have a freak milkshake accident.
Pond slime.
Arron_banks no one is saying you aren’t allowed to make jokes, they’re saying you aren’t funny.
Vile and despicable comments. If it really was a joke, as he says, it was cruel and inappropriate.
Arron Banks is a dangerous freak.
I hope Greta’s boat doesn’t hit a Thunberg.
Sick
That can't be a joke. Whatever his thought about Climate Crisis is, it's wrong for adults to post abusive tweets ridiculing a middle-teen-aged activist. (Julia Hartley-Brewer's tweet about a flight booking as well.)
Loathesome
Now matter what your opinion, & it is just that unless you are a qualified climate scientist, you should praise the endeavours of this young lady in bringing the world’s attention to a cause in which she believes. Arron Banks clearly just cares about himself & nothing else !
Loathsome oxygen thief!
His account has been suspended no? Just as I was about to ask him to get in the bin.
So what the article is really saying is “Man makes off colour joke”
Distasteful person 😐
I still remember the media and the left finding it cool to throw milkshakes over people and wanting to punch a teenage kid in a Trump hat who was calming reacting to a deranged old dude. So go f**k yourselves you smug c**ts.
Arron Banks is a wanker. His problem though innit.
Please change your headline to at least put 'jokes' in inverted commas. His comment was a scarcely veiled threat.
This is no joke. Irresponsible to classify it as such. Veiled threat, typical bullying behaviour from a despicable bully.
It just shows how much the rich white people come in this world to an end! Of course they will try to fight this fact in every way possible - as we can see.
So Wanks' sole purpose was to provoke outrage... Great! Consider me outraged... Now, what?
How can that comment be classified as a 'joke'? It was a statement suggesting (and by the tone wishing) she would have an accident. Stop mislabelling things and giving platform to haters.
Gros con !
Who elects those people?
Can’t you take a joke? I always thought you “ Guardian “ readers were “ out there” with your Edinburgh fringe “stand-up” people .
May be he'll have an accident of his own one day.
Sick person. Glad for not being his relative.
Life is becoming a Ben Elton novel.
This is why Greta will get a Nobel Prize and Banks will get a prison cell
Breaking news: Arron_banks is a shit
Just your ordinary, regular Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail, Express, Sun gammon reader...
And if something happens to her, he thinks these words will not kick back to him
A politician attacking a child for standing up for a cause? Must be a Conservative
I suppose any accident that Mr Banks ever has could reasonably be described as a “freak” accident
readers have meltdown 🤣
Another hilarious 'joke' from a rich middle aged white man with his head in the trough & too much time on his hands
Guardian are as bad as Dailymail. You're too left... In order for one to speak, he/she risked being offensive.
Its not a joke, hes wishing a child dead. He is a nasty bully and that is all he is.
And then so much back-peddling. As if there was an actual boating accident headed this guy’s way. Nah, that was *just* his vile-trolling of teen climate-activist GretaThunberg ps. he still has Twitter in case he wants to troll more children Climate ClimateEmergency trolls
Fat lads sometimes have major heart attacks...
Disgraceful.
I wonder how old the girls are who work in his strip club in Durban. The man who offered money to the boyfriend of a woman he fancied to dump her but ended up marrying a Russian implant with a questionable past. Imagine him being your father. Yuk.
That is a vile statement from a cynical evil mind.
A vile excuse of a man. But I expect nothing else from someone who is merely a snake with legs. Although this is a great disservice to snakes, who, unlike Banks, are wonderful and fascinating creatures.
elsewhere55 What a disgusting individual.............'all about the money' climate denier Banks is!!
Arron Banks is a vile despicable human being 😡 Wishing a freak accident on GretaThunberg isn't just What he is but Who he is. Anyone or Political party associated with Arron_banks is EXACTLY this too. ArronBanks GretaThunberg ClimateCrisis ClimateEmergency
Doesn’t sound like a joke. Sounds like a threat. From a grown man. Against a highly intelligent young person who is world famous and well respected for what she is doing. Totally unlike whoever fucking Aaron Banks is.
Imagine if Aaron banks died 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm only joking of course....but imagine he really did die...fucking hilarious....🤭🤭🤭🤣🤣🤣
SpanishDan1 An odious piece of 💩
Absolute bastard. I’ve never wished ill on anyone, but I do on him and Julia H-B.
Slow news day?
Is there some requirement for conservatives, Trumpists and brexiteers to be assholes?
What a crass, unpleasant man he is.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
On the high seas there are very few atheists i would think, except on the larger vessels. Fragile circumstances humble even the most arrogant deniers!
Thug.
SpanishDan1 🤮🤮🤮
To make us look the other way, obviously
stylethefuture With respect not sure why your headline is perpetuating Banks’ lame excuse that his disgusting comment was a joke. His relationship with humour is clearly as distorted as his relationship with the law
What a surprise. This man is a top level Jeremy Hunt.
OK everyone, it's time to pick a side. Do you want to be on Arron's team, or Greta's? Hate and division, or care for our planet?
What does he know that we dont? Some navy under way to waylay the child? Then he should warn the authorities, so they can protect her, right?
The police should pay a visit. I am damn sure if I walked into a high school and wished a 16 year old harm. I would get a knock on my door. Utter pig of a man ...karma Banks..Karma.
Let's see who will come out stronger in the end. Predict it will not be the spoilt selfrighteous far-right men like him. Go back to your mother.
Too much attention for this zombified nazi
There are some men who should be wiped off the face of the earth.
Well, if there is such an accident, Mr Banks will be our first suspect. No saving Mr Banks this time.
What a nasty person Arron Banks is.
Nothing about “lefties” and sense of humour this is about being a being worthy of walking this planet - he is not.
freakshowbanks
Ook een engerd.
Isn’t he a freak accident?
It didn't take long did it for these idiots to crawl out with words like this...
Banks and Wigmore are those two guys that you remember from school as being the two arrogant assholes. And when they show up at the reunion 30 years later they are still the two arrogant assholes who haven’t changed a bit.
Joking about Greta - sacrilege, stone the heretics!
Arron is the freak here, joking about something like that is wrong and tasteless.
Horrible man🤨
Of course he does. Destroying children’s futures is bang on brand for this guy. brexit brexitparty
A despicable man
Would the search parties use carbon neutral rescue ships?
And yet we are giving him more oxygen.
Leftys unacustomed to nonce humour.
He’s that worried?
Disgusting man
Just projecting what his banker will do to him... we all know how useful idiots end up once they’re not useful anymore, eh Arron_banks
Disgusting
matthabusby wtf? 🙄😕
Cunt.
He's obviously trying to take the famous line in Blackadder 'and I hope your mother dies in a freak yachting accident' and use it on Greta. However, he has failed spectacularly and just looks like a bully and a creep. Which is what he is.
Doesn't it have to be funny for it to be a joke?
Joking? I don't think so. He genuinely wishes harm upon her. Arsehole.
Arron Banks = Asshole Bumcheek
What a very hateful man, though we already knew that, didn't we?
Aaron is a troll. If you want to hurt Aaron, everyone should boycott using his insurance companies. Spread the word. Do not use ‘Go-Skippy’, Debenham Car Insurance or Vavista Insurance. Avoid anything to do with Eldon Insurance services. Stop the troll’s funds now !
Shouldn't he be in a jail or something? How come wealthy always get away with their crimes.
Several of the usual gang of Banks repugnant ilk have totally displayed their low, ignorant, bitter and jealous side in attacking Greta recently. Shame on them, the spineless, pathetic bullies.
He's not wrong lol
Bully!
Vile pig. 😡
When you have to resort to verbally attacking 16 year olds to feel relevant and powerful.........well enough said.
Not a news piece.
Feeling threatened?
It wasn’t funny.
I think ‘jokes’ should be in inverted commas.
'jokes'. Yeah right. Why let him off the hook like that?
Welcome him im Club Epstein! Oh... wait, he's already a member.
