Actress Dame Emma Thompson has been defending her decision to fly from the US to attend a climate change protest in central London.

Speaking to reporters from the Extinction Rebellion campaign group's pink boat, she said did not fly as much as she used to - and planted a lot of trees.

Ms Thompson also compared the protest to the campaign of disruption by the Suffragettes.

And we should have ignored the sufragettes, too.

[pfflier]

Limo liberals never change.

Soon enough she’ll have to use high speed rail, aircraft will only be for the rich elite leftists and their causes.

You plant all your trees and do away with CO2 and your trees die...

Electric cars, with 40 mile ranges.......................

[a fool in paradise]

She planted some trees. And tries to fart less.

Teleprotest. Oh wait, that ‘levtricity is bad too. Paint a billboard.

[CharlesMartelsGhost]

She’s a member of a cult, a dangerous one.

Some of us are more equal than others I guess.

She doesn’t know how to swim?

[Yo-Yo]

Have these Greenies not heard of Skype, or GoToMeeting?

They can have all of these meetings as Webinars, and save a lot more of the planet in the process.

But no, travelling to exotic locations for several days of fun, drinks, and 'networking' on a government or university expense account is more important to them than is the underlying 'cause' they allegedly believe in.

Of course she gets a pass. 🛫💺🍸🍽🛬 🚖

‘If I could fly cleanly, I would’

Then DON’T.

[bgill]

Who knew she was a “dame”?

[LeoTDB69]

“Suffragettes”

Never heard of em. Are they anything like the Rockettes?

[blackdog]

A real physics genius there.
