*Contains upsetting images*
Oh, crikey …
I’ve got Radio 4 on: as per usual.
And, as it was playing, was going to tell you about how work went, yesterday: we had an inspection, and I came off rather well.
But one news item caught my ear. It seems 12 Syrian refugees have drowned on the coast of Greece: apparently trying to get to Canada.
One was a little boy of three.
The little boy in the picture: who’d been with his family. Apparently, his older brother, who was five, and his mother, also died.
His father survived.
I’m usually very cynical.
But that …
Well …
I can only offer my sympathies to the boy’s father.
A man trying his damnedest to get out of hell, and to somewhere safe …
Only to lose the most precious things he has.
That’s not how life should go …
Either way … ? That photo should encourage European governments to help those fleeing Syria as a result of its Civil War: AND the actions os Islamic State.
But my other thought?
Is “Who is showing this photo to the likes of Islamic State, and others fighting in the region.”
I think photographic evidence of what the fighting is doing won’t — won’t — stop it.
I can only hope it will make someone think …
