Absolutely fair game.

I don’t think GretaThunberg will mind. She knows the difference between satire and a genuine attack on her person. She’s a smart cookie😏 SpittingImage was (in the 80’s) & is hilarious! 😂

They put Thunberg as “face” of the Climate change “movement” so their movement can it be criticised Disagree / criticise = you are a MONSTER for picking on a - female - child - autistic Victimhood / PC culture ‘shield of invulnerability’. Genius! Comments below = proof🤔

🤣 it was all fine, it was ‘needed in these times’. But now it’s taking the piss out of the justice warriors’ hero it’s a disgrace

If one gets onto a stage expect to get heckled or applauded..... Or both

Absolutely not ok. She is an Autistic child for goodness sake!

The puppet gets a puppet. 👏🏻

I had a recent encounter with Greta. It didn’t go well. Click the link to see...

Minors can either dictate public policy or be protected at all costs. Pick one.

It's rather simple: for the show to work it must not discriminate. All in public life must be game & their puppets must of the same order of magnitude of design grotesqueness! Any other approach and it will fail.

Love Greta, but yeah, Spitting Image is simply about those in the social-political spotlights, and of course in this day and age, Greta is very much in those spotlights (deservedly so), and this will further amplify her message & legacy. I don't see anything wrong/bad about this.

I always knew she was a puppet.

Doesn't look anything like Greta Thunburg. This looks more like Putin if you look at the puppet without the hair.

First Piers Morgan, now this ? I'm starting to like them more and more.

Is spitting image still on tv

She is fair game but the puppet looks more like Ian Hyslop off HIGNFY in a wig than Greta.

How dare they

Yet they don’t do Chucky

An autistic girl, trying to save the world, is fair game? This world has gone to shite!

Love you guys. 'Spit and image' or play on the incorrect word given the story context? If so, very meta.

I love Greta, but that's what happens when you choose to become a public figure.

How dare they!

And she is. Everyone in the public eye is.

How *dare* they?!
