Refugee crisis

shouldn't be shown.

I am not sure. It shouldn't have to be shown, but it is a reality nonetheless. If it really takes images like this to kick people up the arse then I think it should be shown.

not sure that's appropriate for this thread

I think it's totally appropriate. The attitude from most of the country seems to be 'f*ck em, we gotta enough immigrants ' ... That picture is just one of thousands of tragic deaths so far, people (not f*cking migrants) people, men, women and baby's drowning out in the Sea, suffocating in backs of Lorrys. The UN really need to do a lot lot more, the government aswell but mostly the attitudes of our greedy rich population who can easily turn a blind eye to stories like this.

Why not mate? I was just expressing my anger at people who put their so called country they've "died" for before dying men, woman and children. Just think about being in their shoes.

And this is not to any of you here, it's just an opinion

That photo is harrowing.

The whole refugee crisis is a tragic situation, and our government's response so far has been disgraceful.

its very sad indeed but i think Camerons hands are tied, taking more and more refuges when our NHS and other critical services are on there knees cant be the answer, this Island cant home them, hundreds of thousands of working familys are already using food banks in this country, i think the only way to help them is at the point of the problem 'the country of origin' Syria or Iraq i think its time United Nations went in and the troops went in to dispose of ISIS, there would be outcries from every corner of the UK if that happened from the anti war brigade but i think its the only way

it's a thread about one image.... a sad image

No one is mentioning the whys and wherefores or about immigrants

This is beyond that

Yeah changed that now. Sorry for the typo. My Mrs has just seen it and she started to well up she then went upstairs and gave our little lad a kiss. When 16 people think its safer to cross the sea in a dingy made for 4 rather than stay on land then something is very wrong

The land they left..Turkey ..was safer than putting the poor little kid in that dingy, his family could have applied for political asylum there, they would have been perfectly safe and the kid and his elder Brother would still be alive

To be fair, the Op did go into 'this is a shit unfair world' stuff.. You can't dictate that all posts be about the 1 image.

there are kids starving to death in the UK trying to live off food banks ffs

it's incredibly sad but it's happening on our doorstep too and we should be more shocked by that

 

[urmston]

What is shocking about some people who get into rickety old boats to cross a large sea getting drowned?

It is what anyone would expect to happen, hardly a shock.

I'm satisfied with Cameron's hard line approach.

Not dictating anything...I just think a little boy fleeing war and drowning is sad.....not about immigrants Just my opinion
