Worries me when i see stuff like this.
A youngster takes up a cause and captures the zeitgeist of the time.

So doubtless she's courted by the worlds media because the column inches are a hell of a lot more 'positive' than having Trump or the E:U or.....Zimbabwe's troubles on the front pages endlessly.

But i think the governments paying lip service to her and her cause are doing so just because it takes the heat off them for a while and it's nice to be associated with something positive that even your OWN folk can't fault you for.

They'll put on a 'show' if she's 'in town' and create a 'photo-op.' but in the cold light of day i doubt they have any intention of doing anything that's likely to hinder what there is of 'the money-making machine'.

@Picklebobble2 That is very well put and sad to say a lot of policitions will never ever listen to children, or anyone who is talking common sense.

@milkymum1 Sadly, common sense is not so common.
