      Isn’t it just, the video footage is even sadder.
      I couldn’t stop thinking about the poor boy after the news, just awful.

      Picking up on this now that the Russians are doing it and not the US and it’s “allies”?

      I know that war imagery in the media seems to upset the faint-hearted but this image is powerful and necessary.

      “That’s a very powerful picture.”

      Yes it is but everyone just scrolls onto their next news page, FB, Twitter, etc and nothing changes.

      World War Three is happening for that boy but people in the rest of the world are powerless to do anything because politicians no longer represent the will of the people.

        The New World Order are also the reason why you don’t have any friends, I’ve heard.

        The MSM are covering it up though.

      I’m finding the media reporting on that story odd.
      6 One had it as headline, but only spent a minute on it.
      2nd headline was the Rio ticket issue, and that was given at least 10mins with further reports and analysis.
      It’s as if they want to hold back on reporting for it.
      I guess all the facts are still unknown?

        The news stations got totally duped by the clip of the kid pretending to be dead, they just ran with the story because it fit their narrative, once they had broadcast it the cheeky norwegians who filmed it exposed it as a fake leaving pie on the face of the bbc and all the other mainstream broadcasters who ran with it, so now they are a little more cautious, murdochs vile papers dont care though and they just print anything without a second glance, as long as its negative to rhodes scholar bashar al assad and russia

    Brexit on the cover of the FT (oh no not that again). In 2014 I said David Cameron would lead Britain out of the EU in a parade with his thumb in his mouth and his pants around his ankles, I also said that the Tories would dig a moat and that the UK and London would become a Tory fiefdom, run almost like Switzerland. Now for my next prediction…..we are all going to die.

      Run like Switzerland? You mean a first world country wth efficient public transport where everybody had health insurance

    Does anyone remember the dead kid washed up on the shores of Lesbos, picked up and pictured in the arms of the local cop? The World was going to “Step up to the plate” – in my humble opinion, the World doesn’t care. I care! Maybe another type cares? That’d be great!

    That first kid who was filmed gotten out of the bomb site, wiping his blood and dirt on the ambulance furniture -he was roughly 4 years old? The first time I witnessed human depravity I was 15. An IRA gun man blew the brains out of my school bus driver.

        I admit to being a tad carried away. I’m a Scorpio – apparently, that’s kinda what’s expected of us?
