Greta Branches Out

[naomi24]

//Greta Thunberg accuses Israel of ‘artwashing’ reputation through Eurovision//

 

Not content with driving her own bandwagon, she's now jumped on another.   Is 'artwashing' some form of Newspeak?  I've never heard of it.

Is she a later day Cassandra, speaking the truth about our future but unheeded?

[Khandro]

I can't believe that anyone can take the contest seriously, let alone be concerned about whose in or out.

[douglas9401]

Cassandra was almost as tall as Rodney, Sandy. 😄

> Ellipsis my point is that Russia is technically not banned from the contest: so it's a bit mischievous to imply favouritism towards Israel.

OK, Ich, Russia was excluded from participating in the contest, stating that "in light of the unprecedented crisis in Ukraine, the inclusion of a Russian entry in this year's Contest would bring the competition into disrepute".

And that has not happened to Israel.

And both decisions are political.

Her exploitive parents are to blame, laughing all the way to the bank in their 4 by 4.As soon as their wee daughter is not being a cash-cow for her parents,Greta will be dropped like a hot potato.

[Peter Pedant]

Is she a latter day Cassandy, predicting our future but unheeded?

Sandy you naughty boy - you know I take time off from AB to go over ( er linguistically ) Agamemnon - just up to the bit where Cassandy shares his fate. l 1255

.καὶ γὰρ τὰ πυθόκραντα: δυσμαθῆ δ᾽ ὅμως.

(Pythian oracles and equally  difficult) - - - oOR

.τὸ μὲν κλέος σοῦ μαντικὸν πεπυσμένοι
ἦμεν: προφήτας δ᾽ οὔτινας ματεύομεν.

we haveheard thy fame as prophetess, but we understand no prophet.

 ynnafymmi - Greta is not some silly wee lassie; she is 21 years old and definitely has a mind of her own.  She must be doing something right to get so many on this site riled!

Chronological age is absolutely no guarentee of mental capacity or emotional maturity, and I remain unconvinced that Ms Thunburg possesses either.

[DTCwordfan]

the anagram of Greta Thunberg is most appropriate for protesting in Malmo this evening, 'the beggar turn'.

[Ellipsis]

> Chronological age is absolutely no guarentee of mental capacity or emotional maturity

Clearly ...

[ynnafymmi]

This might me getting suspended from AB,but methinks if Gretas parents could prostitute their wee damaged daughter on the streets of Stockholm they would.

[DTCwordfan]

they should just send her to Glasgie after a derby match, ynna....

[ynnafymmi]

Wearing a Rangers top or a Celtic top DTC.Either way,her parents are still using their wee damaged daughter for their own ends.

[pastafreak]

I'm not very up to date...but what exactly  are Miss Thunbergs parents doing to earn money off her? I've heard this mentioned before...but I've not figured it out yet. 🤔

[ynnafymmi]

Do you think that Gretas parents arent making thousands out of their daughter Pasta?More fool you.Gretas parents are laughing all the way to the bank,meanwhile their wee damaged daughter makes a fool of herself.Again.

[THECORBYLOON]

YNNAFYMMI, "They drive about in large diesels,wee Greta cries."

What model car(s) do they drive?

[pastafreak]

I know absolutely nothing about her parents...so on that basis I can't say yes or no as to whether they are making money off her.

Do you have links?
