The Titanic

[aguero93:20]

I understand that everyone's favourite hero, the great Ross Kemp, has said that he nearly went on Titan.

I say nearly... Apparently, his production company had been thinking about doing a programme about Ross going to see the Titanic and were looking at booking him a trip in Titan.

Bandwagon jumper extraordinaire.

How many migrant boats have to sink to get the same kind of coverage as a bunch of millionaires literally dying to see a boat that wasn't much of a boat?

The Titanic was packed with migrants seeking a new life, and never ever gets a mention does it?

I think it's been mentioned in a few conversations just to break the ice.

It wasn’t that they were rich people it was the fact that they could’ve been alive deep down at the bottom of the ocean and a rescue operation meant an opportunity to rubber neck. If a migrant boat turned upside down a la Poseidon Adventure there would’ve been wall to wall TV coverage

Why are Pakistani’s migrants? They’re not fleeing war or famine, it’s for economic reasons and entering the country for that is illegal. They’re making it difficult for genuine asylum seekers to get help. Same goes for other migrants not fleeing famine or war, it’s no coincidence they bypass most countries in Europe to get to the soft touch UK, the country is goi g trough a cost of living crisis, this hardly helps.

That's a separate argument to the point I made.

You honestly think if there'd of been half of dozen migrants in some sort of a similar scenario the same coverage would of taken place?

Not sure if already said, but apparently the ship was constructed from carbon fibre which the experts say is not suitable for such deep depths and why the safety bodies would not sign off on it !

I think pretty much the same coverage.

I think pretty much the same coverage.

if some migrants had managed to build a small sub and were stuck at the bottom of the English Channel they would have had the same coverage probably more
