Today in Hungary
Today in Hungary
His name was Aylan Kurdi and he was 3 years old
But can't bring yourself to express sympathy for a dead baby?
Of course I can just as much as I can have sympathy for every other human life lost today or are we saying this one child is exceptional above all others ?
do I try and make political capital out of it.
NO
because I have some respect for the dignity of others and don't try and single out individual cases to try score a cheap point.

Oh its not a cheap political point Better Together - its not cheap at all - it costs lives. Thousands of them. There is no more EXPENSIVE political point than that.
Ok Squidge now go troll your own thread eh you've started a thread about what your trying to force onto this one now.
Unfortunately for you no one has of yet chosen to comment on it so please respect the forum rules and try not to troll a separate thread on a completely different issue with your own agenda.
Oh I know, I was just responding to that particular picture. A friend of mine driving his lorry through Calais the other day, was punched and kicked trying to stop migrants breaking into his friends lorry in front of him, with a cracked skull, two broken ribs and various other injuries he had no choice but to keep driving. So I know it's not just Hungary.
I'm pretty sure if we were to be shown reports from each entry point into Europe the situation wouldn't be much different anywhere. You can have every sympathy with those genuinely seeking asylum but Mr Cameron quite rightly States the solution is solving the cause of the problem not the effects.
Camerons qoute is on BBC News whats also on the same article that this qoute is drawn from is : "Only the hardest of hearts would not be moved by the latest images of the people who have been caught up in the danger and chaos of this mass movement.Images of a toddler, washed up on a beach in Turkey, ram home the sometimes deadly consequences of what is going on".
This says it all and will be my only contribution to this thread.
