Since Greta has been awarded a doctorate from n theology, despite her almost complete lack of education I’m guessing that Climate change has officially been elevated to a religion. Just saying I guess they’re not prepared to enter a religious debate 😂

That's not how you spell 'C U next tuesday'.. Joylon, Jolyon... He should join the tankies Tarquin and Quinters in offshore investment trusts... FFS, again. Some of these dim-witted, posh and polished types are nice... Not that many though. The British public school system educates imperialism still, that needs to change... In the meantime, Jog On may kiss my 4r$€... Xx

"Joylon"...

Every woman I have ever met named Joy, hasn't been, quite the inverse... I suspect the same...

"Joylon"... FFS.

And here is where I must admit to a typo . . . . should be 'Jolyon'. But that's just as silly a name. Like "Jolly on old chap!"

Here is some useless trivia that may enlighten about the name “Jolyon”.

It is not a made up name, but appears to have been in infrequent use as a man’s name in Britain during the 19th century. But like many other names that flourish for a moment of time and then vanish, it seems to have been crowded out in favour of more fashionable nomenclature - probably driven to extinction by the rise of Hollywood and Pop Culture in the 20th century.

How do I know this? Because in 1962 one of the works of literature that was set for formal study in the New South Wales (a state of Australia) school Leaving Certificate was a 1922 book called “A Man of Property”, by Nobel Prize winning British author John Galsworthy. This book was part of a trilogy known as “The Forsyte Saga”. It chronicled the ins and outs of the leading members of a large upper-middle-class English family that was similar to Galsworthy's - and only a few generations removed from their farmer ancestors. Its members were keenly aware of their status as the nouveau riche. The character who made the money in the first place was referred to in the book as “Old Jolyon”. That’s about all I can remember of the book, apart from the fact that I slept through the classes (in 1962) at the back of the classroom hoping that the teacher would not ask me a question.

Ever since then, I have always shown an aversion for the literary works of Nobel Prize winners (it’s rigged anyway), and understand why a successful female author (whose name I can’t remember), always stipulated in her publishing contracts that her books were never to be set for study in schools - because to do so would administer the Kiss of Death to her legacy!

I sincerely apologise if I have just wasted 5 minutes of your life by reading this!

Considering the proximity of the green movement with pedophiles I can't say I'm surprised they'll defend child molestation but not energy dense fuel that has saved billions of lives. Every single one of them should be disbarred and made social pariahs.
