...I'm out of bleeps. What a fucking cheek, flying five and half thousand miles spewing pollution all over the skies to stop people getting on a bus????

Wonder if she wants a cab to take her to the airport?

Oh, she has a driver to and from the airport. For her first class flight.

TedsFederationRep · 19/04/2019 17:45

Agree! She can bleep off to the far side of bleep. And when she gets there, she can bleep off a bit more! 60 years old and she still can't resist slipping into "attention seeker mode", can she?

beebreath · 19/04/2019 17:48

Hope she gets arrested. On the other hand though there would be so much media hype about it ... best just to ignore her.

DanielRicciardosSmile · 19/04/2019 17:49

But apparently she plants a lot of trees, so that must make it OK. A bit like Bono saving the planet by having a plane chartered to pick up his favourite hat. HmmConfused

She just a typical lovey who thinks the world revolves around them, remember dear lily Allen apologising on our behalf to the kids in the Calais jungle? Whose responsibility is the French government? Emma T is another one, lecturing us on what we should do, but doing the opposite herself. It also gives me a giggle to think of all those people coming into London in cars, trains and buses, churning out all those emissions, with their non eco plastic banners, non eco clothes that can’t be recycled, eating and drinking food, but throwing the unrecylable rubbish wrapping it away.

IceRebel · 19/04/2019 17:53

Hmm what was that phrase again...

Oh yes, Lead by example

She's a complete hypocrite.

PinkiOcelot · 19/04/2019 17:55

How ironic!

Doyoumind · 19/04/2019 17:55

I went off her massively when she signed up to giving away women's rights without having a clue what she was talking about.

Notanidiot · 19/04/2019 17:57

Totally agree with OP and other posters.

dayswithaY · 19/04/2019 17:59

I went off her massively when she defended child abuser Roman Polanski. To be fair she later retracted it but only after she had been enlightened by her son's friend. Too bad she didn't know the facts first.

ChicCroissant · 19/04/2019 18:00

It's been a spectacular own goal for the protest, do as I say but not as I do!

glenthebattleostrich · 19/04/2019 18:00

She's the worst kind of bandwagon jumping bloody hypocrite. Can't stand her.

flapjackfairy · 19/04/2019 18:02

Didn't think she had a son ? Don't tell me she has jumped on the trans bandwagon as well .
To be fair I can forgive her anything when I watch her act. Bloody love Sense And Sensibility !

Penguincake · 19/04/2019 18:02

Emma Thompson has no credibility. She is pro a child rapist, against women’s rights and now this nonsense.

ReleaseTheBats · 19/04/2019 18:09

I think you are all being really mean about Em. At least she didn't use a private jet this time 😬

HarryDaylight · 19/04/2019 18:34

On a much more shallow note, I thought that she looked fabulous.

SilverySurfer · 19/04/2019 18:34

She once described Britain as ‘A tiny little cloud-bolted, rainy corner of sort-of Europe, a cake-filled misery-laden grey old island.’ I can't tell you how much I dislike her for that plus she's a crap actress so she can fuck off back where she came from.

ilovesooty · 19/04/2019 18:37

I don't think she's far wrong about Britain.

Disfordarkchocolate · 19/04/2019 18:39

Spent a good 10 minutes today laughing with my DH about the hypocrisy of Emma and most of the protestors. There is loads of crap going on in this world and she is too far up her own backside to notice or care.

VladmirsPoutine · 19/04/2019 18:39

Did you expect that she should have swam to the UK?

MODGNIK · 19/04/2019 18:40

Prince William-lecturing us on the environment when he has 3 children who will have a much bigger environmental foot print than a typical child . Because we all need to fly by helicopter from London to Norfolk. .

Presumably you don't live here if you think it's so awful. I love this country and it's doesn't describe my Britain.

dayswithaY · 19/04/2019 18:43

Flapjack - she adopted a son, think he was a refugee child from an African country.

ilovesooty · 19/04/2019 18:46

Yes I do live here. I think she's probably trying to say that she considers us a small country with an over inflated sense of our own importance, which I actually agree with.

And it is often grey and it rains a lot.

Which part of that do you find inaccurate? Sounds exactly right to me, and she’s allowed to think whatever she wants about her own country.

She’s actually an extremely good actress too, hence the BAFTAs and Oscars 🙄

Celebrities can’t really win, can they?
Don’t get involved = they don’t give a shit
Use their platform to speak up = bloody hypocrites
