Here's an idea.....how about all the local schools from where the protesters who caused the damage came select 2 children who attended to provide the labour for the repairs, free of charge at weekends? (Wouldn't want to interrupt their education).
I'm sure as they're passionately committed to the environment there will be no shortage of volunteers, and it'll provide them with some useful real world experience?
Who knows, maybe Greta herself may pop along to help out?
Or, better still, use all of the money gathered in fines for unauthorised absence from school to effect the repairs necessary. Would the schools themselves have to pay fines for being closed? No - parents can be fined for not ensuring their little darlings attend school - mainly to discourage them taking term time holidays. As noted elsewhere, many schools – including my son's – were closed on Friday. In fact, my son said he and his friends saw several of their teachers there! Should parents be fined for not sending their children to another school that day, or maybe taking the day off and home educating them? |

I suspect an element of common sense comes into the equation, in that it's unlikely a parent would be fined for failing to ensure that their child attends a school which is closed? |

I wish her a speedy recovery. As a side issue, I reckon that the Bristol appearance was long ago for there to be no need to trace everyone who was there. |

Blimey, that was quick! I think I'll eat rollmop herrings and meatballs with lingonberry sauce until this thing has passed. |

I somehow doubt that such an enormous operation would in any case have taken place based on one child who hadn't been tested having "announced" that she had some corona virus symptoms. The authorities are rather busy at the moment. Given the tens of thousands who attended, they are far more likely to have infected each other given their behaviour and close proximity. It's to be hoped that not too many have done so. |

For a vegan, herring on the side is always wrong!
These last few posts are making me want to read Astrid Lindgren books...
