He's right kids have been dying every day in the same way for months but because there weren't photos plastered everywhere people could just push it to the back of their minds. He probably intends it in a "So we shouldn't care" way, rather than "We are disgusting for not caring before" way, though. Literally the only reason David Cameron cares about this is because it is absolutely awful publicity for him. In the morning he was all ready to stick to his "gently caress 'em" line, but as it became readily apparent over the course of yesterday that even other Tories thought he was being a heartless bastard and it was not playing well his hand was forced and he had to agree to take more refugees. Which is a good thing, but it's really bad that that is what it took for him to pretend to be a human being.

katlington posted:Which people didn't care before now? Kaal is assuming people posting in this thread didn't care until now because it suits them. David Cameron might only care because of polls but David Cameron isn't posting in this thread. I wouldn't presume anyone in this thread is only just now becoming concerned because of one particular tragic incident that made big news out of hundreds of similar ones, because people on here tend to be fairly well informed of world events and have functioning senses of empathy and compassion. Unfortunately that can't be said for everyone.

Cameron was sticking to "We can only solve this at source" until he was embarassed by that dead boy. Like bombing the poo poo out of ISIS and Assad was going to help all the people who are currently refugees drowning in the sea. If it will even help anyone.

I suppose it's slightly better that they're not doing it to literally every single one, but doing it to even one person is too many. It's just barbaric on a level that I don't know how the people doing it sleep at night or even begin consider themselves to be moral human beings. It's so lacking in humanity and compassion that it's difficult to articulate. Like, I could maybe see it if Afghanistan wasn't still such a terrible place to be and the outcome of shipping a bunch of teenagers with no local knowledge and few connections to an underdeveloped warzone wasn't so obvious.
