Excellent! How much? No idea, but given she insists on traveling by boat across the Atlantic, I'm betting she didn't fly into Heathrow.

I assume you mean evidence of how Greta got to London, not evidence of the existence of Eurostar trains... No, I don't. She's a private individual, and their travel itineraries aren't normally matters of public record. Do you have evidence that she flew to Heathrow? We're both just guessing, but given that she very publicly rejected flying from Europe to the USA a while back, and that the "non-flying" journey between mainland Europe and London is a lot simpler than sailing across the Atlantic, I think my guess that she took the Eurostar is much more likely than your guess that she flew to Heathrow.

alta-pete Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Your guess / my guess. Nothing conclusive then. The basis of my original point wasn’t so much specific to Greta, more about a strata of the population that seem to operate on the basis of ’do as I say, not as I do’. The (so far) lack of evidence to say that she came here trans-Europe via train/boat/bicycle (which’d be all over the media if she had) is good enough for me to suggest she’s developing into another self assured hypocrite.

Benjamin_Nevis Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 There are a stunning number of older men who seem obsessed about a wee 18 year old Swedish lassie, to the point of absolute rage. That this includes the likes of Putin and Bolsonaro is outstanding enough but her total rinsing of Trump was god-tier level trolling. Glorious.

Benjamin_Nevis Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 She came to Glasgow via train from Euston. Looks very environmentally friendly, better photo-op than arriving at Glasgow airport by plane. I don’t know how she got to London Euston but I’ll wager it was via Heathrow, then a transfer then the train. She’d have generated less carbon by arriving direct.

Would there be many politicians that write their own big speeches without collegiate input? This is not an exam you are marking, so the rules on that as opposed to an activist getting her message across are a bit different. But I think you know that and there is something else you probably do need to clarify to effectively share the point you would wish to share. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you make a claim it is up to you to provide evidence in support and it is considered very bad form and poor internetting etiquette or internetiquetteᵀᴹ to demamd others seek out contradictory evidence to disprove an unevidenced claim that you have made. Very disappointing of you and may God have mercy upon your soul. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
