    @jegga sorry I'm probably pretty dumb when it comes to the bigger picture. Are you saying this is the kind of thing he usually attacks people with?

    Well he does profess to have some ridiculously woke values so there's no way he'd condone blackface .

    Are you really completely unfamiliar with Trudeau and his backstory?

    Usual rules for a Verity Johnson column apply , try and find the most ridiculous quote before despair you feel sharing s planet with someone so moronic makes you want to throw your phone at the wall .

    I couldn’t get past her comparing her to Che , a murderer and thug

    @jegga

    "the world is increasingly run by the activists, the Instagram famous, and the 20-year-old tech startup guru". in your dreams Verity. The world has always been run by grey old men - and always will be. The worst grey old men are the grey old women.

    Personally I don't get the hatred for Greta. I mean she's annoying, but she's just your typical whiney adolescent who has a simplistic world view, no notion of nuance and thinks she knows all the answers. It's not her fault social media gave her all this attention and now she's a phenom all the politco's have to pretend to listen to until the next big thing comes along. She's still young enough to grow out of it.

    Verity on the other hand... What is it with all these young wimmin? Elizabeth Marvelly et al? At least Greta appears genuine. These "commentators" are simply look at me, trend following poseurs.

    When you say genuine you mean like a background extra from Children of the corn ?
    She’s a teenage girl with Aspergers and add which means she’s apparently beyond criticism. Life doesn’t work that way which is why Fuck you Greta stickers are turning up on cars in Germany .

    I imagine in the future once her 15 minutes are up the irresponsibility of her parents exposing someone with her issues to fame at such a young age is going to draw them some much deserved heat .

    @jegga I mean like she's totally fucked in the head but doesn't get the breadth of her delusion.

    I think she totally gets how she's manipulating her audience but not how she in turn is manipulated

    @jegga I meant Greta but yes - applies equally to both. Although I think Verity would do a complete about face on any subject if it suited her

    Attn Verity . This is your future
    My favourite quote ,

    “We've got uteruses and back in the day there was a real sort of magic and sacredness and sort of brutality around that," Malcolm said. “

    @jegga I heard Malcolm say this on the Radio.

    It makes a lot of sense for her to be involved in pre-production planning actually as she obviously lives in a fantasy world.

    Rule 1: If you are going to spend a billion bucks then make sure you give your audience what they want. It's a lot of money to gamble on your audience being OK with you tampering with source material they are heavily invested in.

    A part of me wants the wokeness now. Do it, bring on female Gandalf, demi-sexual Aragorn and lets get some asian Frodo & muslim Sam gratuitous on screen sodomy Netflix style. Lets make Sauran an old white man in a suit with a swastika patch and have trans Gimli with a multicoloured beard shack up with black non-binary legolas.

    Burn. It. All. Down...and hope sanity can come back from the ashes.

    But it wouldn't make any difference. The show would lose a bundle but the woke would consider that a price well worth paying. Especially since it wouldn't be themselves paying it.
