Can’t use the water cannons on kids... the sooner we rise up and take the power back the better... no more self serving MP’s

theresa_may Ha! Please...What has increased our workload and wasted our time ultimately comes back to the decisions of that rubber-faced muppet michaelgove and the continuing blunders of your Tory Government. These students have my whole-hearted support! SchoolStrike4Climate

She obviously is not aware of the fact that kids do nearly nothing on the last day before half term!!!!

One kid was like. When I grow up there might not be a North Pole anymore. Kid there will always be a North Pole 🤦🏻‍♂️

Sorry but Mrs May is a waste of time

Way to alienate a whole generation of future voters. Own goal.

AcesWalling You go against them at your own Peril theresa_may AcesWalling

And then hands back her geography degree FFS

Here's theresa_may's lunch...

Damian0706 At least the children know what's important! Our planet is! Shame most politicians only think about things they don't even understand and aren't real anyway.

We're extra police called in? And will the teachers be fined for taking an extra day off?

Sometimes it is necessary to stick two fingers up at a Government, especially when they’re more interested in party politics and not governing in the National interest or the future of our planet! Today’s politicians will not have to deal with weak climate policies made today.

Mmmm .... planet being destroyed v lessons being disrupted? Not a particularly strong case there theresa_may!

Bit rich from the most inept Government ever.

She hasn't got the hang of this youth vote thing , has she ?

Time Theresa Mays software was upgraded. She is totally obsolete.

Does the missed day count as unauthorised absence, it should, in which case the parents should be prosecuted and the attendance records of the children affected.

Yeeeaaah, just the planet go to fk, sure who needs it anyway?

She is wrong to do so I think it’s amazing

She’s right for once-If they want to take action do it on a weekend not on taxpayers money time.

Wasn't May missing from the House of Commons yesterday?

Well; she would, wouldn’t she?

Damian0706 Theresa May needs to resign. She is the most useless PM in British history. She has no idea how serious climate change and the current sixth mass extinction is. But she'd rather hang on to her money along with her corporate friends then look for urgent solutions. Complete failure

Damian0706 Maybe she preferred school to being at home?

Damian0706 theresa_may is toast.

Well she finally got something right.

Children should be in school learning.Why didn't they do it after school hours.

The school's should be find for this if my child missed school I get find ,the school teacher's are also out with the kids so fined the school's name and shame them !!!!

Kids always take days out for school trips. It’s educational, particularly when they have to research climate change beforehand.

And PM's missing from Parliament?

Hope their picking up all the trash their dropping on the road, also hope their parents are getting fined for their brats not attending school

The Great Brainwashed

THERESA MAY HAS NO SOLUTIONS TO STOP CLIMATE CHANGE. I BRIJINDER SINGH BHATIA, ONLY ONE PERSON IN THE WORLD WHO HAS THE SOLUTION IF GIVEN A CHANCE TO HOLD THE CLIMATE CHANGE. NO POWER IN THE WORLD HAS THE SOLUTION. IF YOU NEED HELP TALK TO ME DIRECTLY.

theresa_may more proof you care nothing of climate change. We already you care nothing for UK people.

She is absolutely correct

The PM who is desperate to not leave government debt for our children is unhappy that our children ask her to leave them a planet to live on

It's not the kids she shine criticising the kids. It's the teachers who are abusing their charges. Oh, and for an extra day off to add to their half term

Snowflakes

Fine the lot of them

Flashed through my mind That.I suspect the schools Will take action

Theresa May is missing governing the country to protest over working together with foreign people.

Their teachers are not unhappy.. they would vote you an artifact of waste of climate if you announced to them to vote for them or you.. they'd vote you to Mars.. Teachers Holiday chest pushed out? Make them vote you out for Brexit Bye England .. I'm New England.. Nigel_Farage

Haha, she's mad! No wonder why 10 y old said that ' there are better cabinets at IKEA!'

Theresa May needs to get her head down, and have a think about what she's doing to the country. Never mind criticising school children, she is behaving worse than any child I have ever known.

Do it at the weekend

Wake up world. Climate change was around billions of years before man came along and invented a word for it, oh and BTW it will be happening billions of years after we have all been and gone. Want proof ? Look up at MARS!! brainwashed kids

If Mrs May is against your ideals you know you are on the right track

She is never on the right side, history in the making, either get on board, or get left behind, you choose your children, grandchildren, will grow up unlike you denying the truth, they are learning it, and living it.its up to you sky stick by the dead beat Torys , or get a life

Imagine allowing the pple having a say PeoplesVote StopBrexit

She's absolutely correct !

.theresa_may is a fucking idiot.

Most will be picked up by mommy and daddy in there 4x4 after school and then spend the rest of the night on there phones and games machines wasting electricity

There's nothing more dangerous to the elitist Tories' power than a politically active youth.

Her generation of politicians should be branded as the 'Out of Touch' generation

All that bad gas pumped into the air getting to London to complain about bad gas 😆

She has no children so of course she has no concept of why this would be important to them. Since the only exposure to a child she has ever had is when she was one.

Not only is May correct, legally, the turnout is based on the fact kids feel they have an excuse to miss a day of education. Try it on a weekend!

I’d just say... ok they’ve made their point... get back to lessons.

I totally agree with the PM.

For once I agree with her. How fortunate they decide to strike on a Friday. Nice long weekend kids 👋

What these young people are doing is your job you should be calling this Govt out on its climate change policy. This just highlights the total irrelevance of the MSM and its political commentators, you should be ashamed. GTTO

😹😹😹😹😹😹 ‘wasting time’ 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹

'Why should i clean my room when the worlds in a mess!' 😂😂 fucken brilliant man

Another example if one more were needed of how completely out of touch theresa_may is. She should applaud young people for exercising their democratic right to protest. They are engaging with politics and will soon have the right to vote. Obviously not for Conservatives

Good on the kids today for being abit naughty. Might not agree on all there arguments but at least it gives me hope. Usually there being vilified for being materialistic and selfish, but today there hearts are in the right place and are protesting about something they care about

Hopefully adults aren't using the kids to push their agenda. Thats disgusting

Learn from them Mrs May, Might mean you understand people. Instead of just assuming everyone is like London politicians. 👍

Better hope none of them ever get to voting age hey theresa_may

Of course she is. But does anybody agree with her?

why don't schools teach the fact that the world has been warming and cooling ever since it was created over 4 billion years ago and it will keep happening no matter what we do.

Let's see how much litter they leave behind.

Of course she objects - heaven forbid kids have a decent opinion 👍👍

Damn right! Get back to class and learn stuff!!!!

Theresa May bunked off work last night..

I dont know about a protest strike ,seemed more like a dayout for the teachers to me

Most of the kids won’t even know why they are there. I’d be there to if it meant a day out of the class room

Theresa May.... stop reading

Any excuse to skip school,, 😂

Could be worse - they could be running through fields of wheat.

Way to win over the youth Vote Theresa, Many of those protesting will be old enough to vote come the next scheduled election in 2022, Tories have long since given up on the youth vote

I fixed your headline for you: Pupils missing school to protest over climate change criticise Theresa May for doing very little about it and ruining their futures by pursuing brexit

May is thinking ' oh god, future labour voters'

I'm for the children good on them, SHAME on you may

Hope there parents get fined for absent Leave

They’ll all be thick!

She's right.

I am pleased to see the pupils protesting against climate change. They are in danger of inheriting a world of dead oceans and toxic air, unless the money grabbing polluters stop.

What on earth would she know about children, lets be honest!

What a waste of empty heated classrooms.

She is right to.

The youth of this country have expressed disgust at ms Mays nonsensical , deceitful manner in handling Brexit ; why would the pupils Protest ; cause there is a Big failure in dealing with climate change ! franking airpollution etc etc n etc.

Theresa May doesn't care about teachers.

Oh SHUT UP MAY, its the last day of term, and what they are doing is just as educational for them, as they are realising, your government isnt doing enough, so get back in your puppet box silly woman

Ahh the future. Protest protest protest. They won't need an education for when they're older anyway. You don't need qualifications to stand holding signs in the air.

Well she's certainly right about that

Pissing off 18+ year olds and now pissing off -18 year olds. Oh dear!

The atmosphere would have a big hole in it if they all farted at once.

Of course she objects to a protest about climate change, since she is in charge of climate change in the UK.

she is damn right...

She should be ashamed of herself!

how about implementing a carbon neutral economy instead of pandering to the worst kind of nutters with brexit, eh Theresa old girl?

Oh my God Haha HW can they protest against natured

Yes, they should look a parliament on how to behave 🙄

What’s wrong with students protesting for improvement of their own world ?

I’d fine their parents as air is same at school or at home.

Theresa May is a wasteman
