Jeremy Clarksons daughter has slammed middle-aged men for criticising Greta Thunberg – as the Grand Tour star branded the climate change activist a spoilt brat.
Emily Clarkson made her feelings known on Twitter, referring to a tweet by John Bishop in which the comedian praised the 16-year-old for being an inspiration and breathing life into the debate surrounding climate change.
Quoting his post, she wrote: Wouldnt it be nice if all middle aged blokes could talk to and about Greta, the ballsy af teenager out there changing the world, like this.
She makes a good point…

To keep you safe. We gave you mobile phones and laptops and the internet. We created the social media you use every day and we run the banks that pay for it all.
So how dare you stand there and lecture us, you spoilt brat.
Jezza did acknowledge that something needs to be done over the planet heating up, but suggested that Greta should be a good girl, shut up and let everyone else get on with it.
Because science is what will solve the problem eventually. Not scowling and having screaming ab-dabs every five minutes, he added.
