The world is averse to strength. That is why strong people are ridiculed.

Remember when the and the liberal left laughed when Peter Fonda joked about kidknapping and torturing Donald Trump's 13 year old son?

She will be rich and famous someday, simply for telling us what we already now about climate change. Amazing really. I bet someone was smart enough to put her up to taking on that role of being the face of action on climate change. Someone with big bucks is backing her.

🤡💩

She should sail to China and tell them to stop the pollution ! 🤣🤣🤣 They won't listen

The Bermuda Triangle is to far south. A Iceberg is to far north. A hurricane could form quickly, unexpectedly and at least scare the shit out of her. But the best solution would be, if Trump revokes her visa.

Well done Greta for getting under the skin of that creep!

Taxpayless Teen should read deeper. Jobs fill bellies, Industry rocks and high taxes mock....Teeny Bopper tales of the Ocean a better byline.

Yes that was a stupid comment, but it's also stupid to sail across the Atlantic during the peak of Hurricane Season.

Not just a “brexiteer” but a very suspect man who has been funding Hitler fanatic Nigel Farage’s luxurious lifestyle. TheGreatHack

risk of being fame, hypocrite and annoying? aint it?

This man’s tweet about Greta Thunberg being involved in a “freak yachting accident” is no “joke”This man’s tweet about Greta Thunberg being involved in a “freak yachting accident” is no “joke” ClimateChangeIsReal Greta doesn’t “live with [some unspecified] learning disability”, she’s autistic. She talks about it openly as a strength. Good you support her, but to avoid the ‘a-word’ is to ignore a key part of her activism and identity, and the bigger picture behind the bullying. “Lives with a learning disability”? Does she? I’d be interested to know what definition of learning disability you’re using here...

Arron Banks under fire for Greta Thunberg 'joke' about 'freak yachting accidents'Arron Banks, the insurance tycoon and leading Brexit figure, has come under fire for a tweet about 16-year-old climate change activist Greta Thunberg. He acts like this because the negative attention he receives helps feed the narrative he is trying to build of himself (that he 'says it like it is') Plus, he's scared of people like Greta, he can't process their intentions (to think of others) so he mocks them It seems that an amazing amount of leavers seem to struggle with any form of compassion. Maybe from having wanker parents or maybe a form of autism? It would explain their cold attitude and why politics is broken . brexit immigration prison guns populism Why can't people just leave this really nice, honest, law-abiding, establishment-fighting multi-millionaire banker alone? All he is trying to do is make a simple joke about a teenager who is highlighting the world's most pressing issue dying at sea? What's wrong with that?
