IT seems that for all the misogynist talk, all Andrew Tate needed was a smart woman to put him straight.
The kickboxer-turned-TikToker (before he was banned) is probably wishing he’d never picked a fight with Greta Thunberg, after it incredibly culminated in his arrest in Romania on human trafficking charges.
It all started when, from his Twitter account, he tried to mock the young climate activist by talking about the number of cars he owns.

“Hello @GretaThunberg. I have 33 cars. My Bugatti has a w16 8.0L quad turbo. My TWO Ferrari 812 competizione have 6.5L v12s. This is just the start.
“Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions,” he wrote.
In a putdown that has become one of the most liked posts on Twitter of all time (3.2 million and counting), Thunberg replied: “Yes, please do enlighten me. email me at smalldickenergy@getalife.com”

Tate ruminated on that for more than eight hours, before responding with a cringey two-minute video that boils down to “I know you are but what am I?”
Unfortunately for him, in the video he could be seen sitting in front of two pizza boxes from “Jerry’s Pizza” – a Romanian chain.
According to the Romanian news outlet Gândul, police forces in the country had been waiting for nine months to be certain that Tate and his brother Tristan were in Romania before mobilising. Tate’s social media posts – and speculation suggests those pizza boxes in particular – gave authorities the information they needed.
Thunberg clearly heard the news, and issued one more tweet that will haunt Tate from police detention.
“This is what happens when you don’t recycle your pizza boxes,” she wrote.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
