    ..hypocrites most of the time of course. As are most non-stars aka ordinary people/earth-dwellers.

    Oh yaaaawn. Is it worth my/our stating the very bl**dy obvious for the nth time squared?

    How many of 'em for instance have had the intelligence, the independent-mindedness or the cojones to condemn the US-UK-NATO Perpetual War Machine - and I ain't talking about objecting to its oh-so frightful frikkin carbon bootprint.

    At least Thunberg has the excuse of both youth and the fact that highly manipulative adults have ensured she's as geopolitically duped+ignorant+unresearhed as most "adults".
    Including most grown-up adult Oxbridge grads like Thompson and yer average University Challenge geniuses who for example proudly sported little Ukraine-flag-coloured ribbons on their chests/breasts to show how ironically but characteristically geopolitically clueless+gullible they are and probably mostly always will be.
    (NB. I too am a Camford grad - but before "going up" to Cambridge I was far more formatively/usefully educated by 16 years growing up in poverty on a council estate..)
