what'd she do?

Her look to the camera. Stand strong for what you believe in.

There are worse things to do than being carried away by German cops. Which wasn't always the case, I guess.

Give em hell Greta!

She's trying to STOP the planet becoming hell silly.

Again, what is this the 2nd or third time this week

Yet defraud the country through dodgy PPE contracts worth billions and you can enjoy your freedom and free money.

They arrested 26 people. It's not like they picked out one person. But saying Joe blogs was arrested doesn't get people talking.

I find it funny when people attack her over being arrested, saying "she's only doing it for attention!" and I'm like, that's the point of protesting, isn't it? Protests aren't about being ignored. If you're a high profile person attending a protest and you get arrested, the protest gets attention in the news and on social media. Police carrying off Greta in front of cameras is a highly effective media strategy.

I saw Greta in real life! When she came to Bristol, UK. The march she was leading passed by, just as I was leaving Greggs with a sausage roll, steak bake and donut.. I got a genuine Greta frown, proper Paddington Bear style! I could see her judging me... I haven't eaten a sausage roll or steak bake since.
artie500
She actually browbeat her own parents into becoming vegetarians. Advocating against climate change is admirable, but in that respect she's a terrorist!
whatthefuck9999999
Greta saving the climate AND arteries.

How was the sausage roll? I live in the US near Philadelphia. Any good pics?
Fait
The details of your Greggs order made me happy, and I'm sorry for your loss.
giveittomestraightlikeapearcidermadefrom100percentpears
I was having a bad day. Normally I just go for the steak bake and donut. But the sausage roll is good to eat on the way back to the office.
Squeakybumcheeks
waste of police resources.
OdinYggd
Unless they are booking her for tax evasion it'll be a slap on the wrist and she'll be home by Friday.
florpglorp
I would rather be rioting and getting shot for something I believe in rather than keep working for my fuckass job for healthcare and the ability to live

London not Bejing? Come on millionaire Greta prove this is not just one big self promotion campaign...
plantpr0n
I wonder if the people doing the aresting ever go home and wonder why they had to arrest someone for protesting an impending apocalypse.
TheAnimalFactsGuy
She looks so pleased with herself I love it.
OGshogun
I swear they just arrest her now because of her reputation. All famous protestors in human history get arrested for speaking their mind against govt. peaceful or not.

Ondradactyl
I love the way she’s staring at the camera before she turns around
Sulanis
Once again, showing the police are just another enforcement for the status quo, not the public at large.
I mean, how dare she want to fight to make sure people can breathe clean air, drink clean water, and have a habital area for safe agriculture.
The nerve of her directly affecting short term profits that mean nothing if the planet dies.
BottleNoseMufasa
British police are so polite.
Grimmy32
If you're not drunk and in their face, generally yes. Useless at helping when you get robbed, though.
MutinusElegans
It's okay, theft is a victimless crime so they don't need to be helpful then, either. /s
eastend666
So productive. They don't have bigger fish to fry?
ToSisPoS
Like that bleached toad who lied on the side of a bus at his master’s behest
iosej
Yes that fish they're frying is called the Earth unfortunately
Andied
Okay, that one was pretty clever
Bystandr
They know that arresting her is exactly what she wants, right? Giving her a larger media footprint.
Seanspeed
Why do you think the police would be against this in the UK? They are simply doing their job. Shit, they might support her cause, too. Still gotta do their jobs.
TakeMeToFrontPageAndBackFiveTimesADay
No they can literally not do their job, they can sit back and watch if she’s not harming anyone

awfully polite of them to give her such a SPLENDID Photo op. Like "we have to do our job but we give ya a stage." im dreamin
FallenJester
She's a pro at getting arrested. 2 more and she gets a Get out of Jail Free card!
drcookieninja
When you do just enough to get arrested, but not because of anything outrageous enough to lose popular support, AND not illegal enough to get jail time.

Beautiful. You can tell she gives exactly zero fucks.

I hope she wears stuff with lots of pockets so when she gets searched it takes them lots of extra time and that they have to search every single pocket.
HsuDoNihm
They're doing their part, she's doing hers. No need to make it difficult for any of them, they're not the decision-makers here.
unencumberedbythethoughtprocess
Use a magicians hankie that just keeps going
EngorgedPhallus
I dunno if it's ultimately effective or not, but at least she's doing something and pissing off the establishment. That's good enough in my book.
prettydumb
well, no, its not, but at least it isnt blocking completely random traffic. this is logical and has a point
AManWoman
It's more effective than what virtually anyone else is doing
Atlasraven
Her non-violent arrest just draws more focus to the issue.
ourari
The school strike she started all alone has inspired many to join her, and many across the globe to follow her example. She's already been wildly successful in mobilizing many for this cause.
ravenousj
They're making her more famous.
Andied
She is doing her absolute, dedicated best. One cannot ask for more.
Rhythmaster
Greta doesnt fuck around, and she doesn't shy away from the front lines. She doesnt hypocritically fly in jet planes everywhere to speak about climate issues like all the politicians do. She's a true activist. Now she is getting arrested, so much +respect points in my book. Same thing when I learned about Bernie Sanders being arrested at civil rights protests decades ago, if your activism never gets you arrested, you're probably not doing enough. Greta is legit.
rooik14
protests are absolutely effective. That's why fascists (like the London police) try to curtail protest.
CraftyGiant
It's effective https://thegretathunbergfoundation.org/
UneventfulLover
I think it is effective, she draws attention everywhere she gets arrested and it enhances the media impact of the protest.
xstickman
Whilst generally I agree, "I like x because they piss off the people I don't like" is a train of thought that led directly to the current culture wars obsessed right wing types getting into power everywhere
Rhythmaster
Right but the context is this: nobody, even the politicians that claim they will make good climate policy, are actually doing fuck all to improve the climate situation. So the "establishment" is willing to let us and all future generations die in an uninhabitable wasteland, and greta is going against that. In this context, pissing off the establishment is the righteous and morally correct action to take.
hardytardigrade
There's a big difference in what each group considers "the establishment", though. For one group it's applied to science-denying profit-driven corporate-owned death cult fascists, and for the other it's a buzzword used to attack legitimate experts. And this is backed up by verifiable facts.
vanderwurst
Time is running out. The few who take the problem seriously argue that drastic measures are needed to make any difference. We can be glad that they just protest (yet). Time will tell if that is enough.
AmpsterMan
And you know what? If it leads to them losing power everywhere I'm fine with it

SerialButtToucher

ThePottyBandit
Whilst I generally agree (love this for a comment reply I’m taking it, perfect amount of sass) what if that group of people are ignoramus-bigots sleepwalking into fascist and destructive policies?
IPoisonedDorcasMutton
I feel like "sleep-walking" gives the Tories far too much credit. They're charging in eyes wide open, they just have more barriers to their takeover than America's hellscape does.
ProfessorBanesworth
I expect his point is that mindlessly following someone because they piss off someone you don't like is, generally speaking, a bad policy.
