Title: Can we even begin to imagine?........... Post by: tikay on August 28, 2015, 01:35:35 PM The latest figure is 71 dead. The authorities say it is difficult to know, as the bodies are so densely packed. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/austria/11827983/Dozens-of-migrants-found-dead-in-truck-on-Austria-highway-say-police.html (http://d.ibtimes.co.uk/en/full/1455963/50-migrants-dead-austria-truck.jpg?w=736) (http://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/78/590x/secondary/blood-lorry-338202.jpg) Title: Re: Can we even begin to imagine?...........

Post by: TightEnd on August 28, 2015, 01:50:39 PM would you, or should we, properly describe these poor people as migrants or refugees?

Title: Re: Can we even begin to imagine?........... Post by: tikay on August 28, 2015, 01:58:20 PM I can barely comprehend the whole thing. What a dreadful life those poor people must have had at home, wherever that was, to risk their lives to try & live a better - normal - life. Anyone who wants to deny them the chance of a decent life somewhere must be pretty cold hearted, even if it means we might suffer a little, in some small way.

If a war broke out, or the West decided to police another part of the world then billions of pounds would be found to fund it. Helping these people would cost just a fraction compared yet the world is dragging it's feet whilst they perish.
