"The youngest victim in the Epstein/Maxwell scandal was 14, and most were in their mid to late teens. Which makes me wonder, at what age does someone move from child-victim status into a person who is responsible for their own actions?
When she was 15, Greta Thunberg began the school strikes and public speeches, which made her an internationally recognised climate activist.
Detractors said the teen had been brainwashed by adults in pursuit of their own causes, while her supporters claimed she was an intelligent campaigner perfectly capable of making her own informed decisions.
Shamima Begum (pictured) was the same age (15) when she travelled 3,000 miles from London to Syria to become an Isis bride.
Her supporters say she was radicalised by adults, while her detractors claim she was an independent crusader, emotionally qualified to make her own choices.
You cannot be both enlightened and misguided at the same time, whatever your age."
Supporters of Greta say she is an independent crusader perfectly capable of making her own informed decisions, while her detractors say she has been brainwashed by adults in pursuit of their own causes.
Meanwhile, those who sympathise with Shamima say she was radicalised by adults in pursuit of their own causes, while her detractors say she was an independent crusader, perfectly capable of making her own informed decisions.
Who is right? Predictably, the humbug-guzzling woke-erati feel that brave Greta is an inspiring evangelist, misbegotten Shamima an indoctrinated patsy.
