School’s out for Greta! Thousands of children bunk off to join Thunberg at Glasgow ‘youth strike’ climate protest after Prince Charles BACKED them – despite minister warning their parents could be fined
Thousands of schoolchildren and their parents marched through Glasgow today in an extraordinary ‘Fridays For Future’ rally led by Greta Thunberg as they urged world leaders at COP26 to ‘act now’.
Prince Charles has lent his support to up to 10,000 protestors marching through the city this afternoon, as parents took their children out of school to join the event which was being addressed by the Swedish activist.
But Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi has criticised young activists for travelling to the demonstration today – saying they should not be there in ‘school time’ and they faced handing their parents fines for truancy.
