UNEXPECTEDLY: Greta Thunberg joins Paris student protests.

Greta Thunberg has travelled to Paris to join the student protests sweeping France.

The Swedish climate activist, 23, joined pupils outside the Paul-Éluard lycée in Saint-Denis, where about 20 lawyers in robes formed a human chain to protect the teenagers from alleged police brutality.

“Our future is being robbed away from us,” Ms Thunberg said, condemning what she described as an “extremely violent” police response.

“They should know that all over the world we are following these developments. We are inspired by the young people who are demanding their basic rights,” she told reporters.

“Whether it’s not funding schools enough, or the climate crisis, or social injustice crises… it’s about time that young people are stepping up and reclaiming that future.”

Curiously, the former eco-zealot turned antizionist is backing a lot of global warming and a huge carbon footprint: Fire Destroyed the Oldest Food Market in Paris This Morning.

She is, in fact, clearly a protest obsessive, a perpetual joiner-in and turner-up to any rabble. It doesn’t matter what the putative topic of the rumble is. In fact, her focus is getting more prosaic as she ages; first climate change was going to destroy the world, then it became merely Palestine and the Middle East, and now it’s the poor standard of the upholstery in French schools. It makes you wonder what demo-crazy Greta will turn her attention to next in her quest for a high – potholes in upstate New York?

Never happen – that would be a cause that the masses would actually rally behind.
