So 39 illegal immigrants are dead. Gotta say I`m not as distraught as most seem to be.

I fear for you as you have not one ounce of humanity with a statement like that

39 desperate people living a sad life and looking for a better one - and they got this horrific fate. Certainly makes me distraught.

Plenty of virtual signaling on the msm and the usual posters here but little discussion as to how those that would like to relocate to the UK could be accommodated if travel restrictions were relaxed .

At least now this thread can revel in being sickening on all levels.

Well done to all concerned.

Expressing sympathy for 39 people who suffered a horrific death is virtue signalling. Welcome to 2019!

So you can only show empathy with a truly horrific situation unless you offer up solutions to the problems that led to that situation (solutions that have been stubbornly eluding numerous governments and agencies for some considerable time).

I'm glad you've made that clear. The next time someone tells me about the death of a loved one from cancer, I'll be sure to include in my response my thoughts on the funding of NHS screening, mechanisms for prioritising medical research and the operation of drug companies, before I move on to the need for more specialist nurses and an increased provision of respite and hospice care. I'm sure it will be appreciated.

Welcome to the world of moronic binary politics.

That is terribly sad mate, I hope things turn around for you soon.

I am sorry , I don't have a cure for cancer . Not sure what that has to do with the death of the 39 people in the shipping container .

......surely this tragedy might have been averted if the customs, wherever the lorry had initially travelled, used the thermal heat detectors for searching out stowaways.

How did this get missed by customs, thought all lorries went through the infra red imaging camera to pick stowaways up. Poor people.

Surely the thermal imaging detectors would not have worked if the stoways were already dead.

You were dismissing very understandable and appropriate expressions of empathy as 'virtue signalling' because those expressing the empathy didn't simultaneously discuss the problems of human trafficking and the exploitation of migrants. I was gently showing you how daft that was...but if you don't/can't get it then that's your loss.

I don't think it is a loss to try to rationally asses tragic advents when I have no relationship to those involved .

Rational assessment is fine - essential in fact, to prevent further tragedies. It just isn't mutually exclusive to feeling empathy for the poor souls involved.

Your suggestion that those expressing empathy were simply 'virtue signalling' - doing so purely to be seen to care - was crass and unwarranted.

Have you actually thought about this case and what those people must have gone through?

1. You are trapped.
2. People around you are dying.
3. You will inevitably die within minutes.

If nothing else has come out of this, at least we now know Katie Hopkin's NSC username.

Dehumanising people means you lose all empathy. They are a label, cockroaches she called them (easy to exterminate)
That's why people in camps were given numbers.

These were 39 people who were desperate to leave China (possibly Christians as churches are being closed at the rate of 400 a day, and ministers jailed) or people who couldn't take living under the 'utopia' of Commmunism any more.

Maybe carlzeiss and Diablo should do some reading on Amnesty International to see how some people have to live in this world.

Totally get why many people would want to escape from the many tyrannical regimes around the world but don't know how best to help them .
