She should have pretended to be a Pakistani

"UK police arrest Greta Thunberg under Terrorism Act".

British police have arrested climate activist Greta Thunberg during a pro-Palestinian protest in central London. The detention, under terrorism legislation, was linked to a placard referencing a banned group.

There was a period of a couple of years when I and my two best friends would go to McDonald's late Sunday morning/early afternoon practically every week to eat some burgers and fries after a long Saturday night of, er, Bible study or some such, and I remember these ashtrays. Overall, I spent more time in Burger Kings, however, but they had ashtrays, too.

I used to think of the 1970s as a low, tacky sort of decade, and I guess it was, but now that I'm approaching my dotage, I find that I have a lot of good memories from that time.
