If the UK had opened its borders then the child would still be dead. They would have to cross the Med to get here.
The parents chose not to claim asylum in Turkey, a safe country which would have fed and clothed the child.
It was their choice as parents.
They #ed up in my opinion.
Since the beginning of the Syrian crisis, in addition to its bilateral programme, the EU has mobilised around 350-million euros to support Jordan in dealing with the humanitarian and developmental needs of both Syrian refugees and host communities.

And how much in aid money have we sent to those nations? What were we doing sending that money if it only led to this?
How many people are we expected to care for when can't even care for our own?
So what?

Aid? We sent near 200 Tornado sorties into libya as well as giving the rebels 800 million in aid for "communication equipment". That's the "Aid" we gave those countries.

I could pull pics of dead kids in Somalia or Nigeria if I wanted to.
You are a selective, picky, choosy drama queen, nothing more.
