Wow, you get thicker and thicker. What about a regular photojournalist - are they the same? Are they not "addressing the real situation"? Are they not affected?
Actually don't bother replying.

Just listening to May on the itv news. Utterly predictable statement with her voice cracking at the 'right moments'. But it was a speech by numbers, police who protect us, value our freedoms, even 'mother of all parliaments'. 
Can't manage to say anything direct and human about the victims - and in the bit I heard, almost ignores the victims on the bridge. I'm not making some cheap anticapitalist point, she just had completely the wrong tone.

Not sure where you draw the line with this tbh. That photo of Alan the poor little refugee lad dead on a beach prompted similar comments here initially. ''I don't want to see that on my FB page'' etc. But I think that photo started to change people's minds about the refugee crisis and ultimately did a lot of good. Can't see any of the photos mentioned above having a similar impact tbh but the photographer who took Alan's photo may have appeared incredibly callous at the time too.

Edited, ta. Think he was initially reported as being called 'Aylan' which is where I got that from.

Yeah agree, in the situation you describe you'd have to be a cunt in my book to start filming.

People in Syria want us to see their photos and film of atrocities to spread awareness. That isn't the case here, we are all aware of what happened today. At least the mainstream news blur people's faces so they can't be identified. People sharing it on social media have no idea who will see it and what kind of upset it can cause.
That pic was posted on here earlier by editor but seems to have been deleted

No worries. Could be that in the transliteration from Arabic his original name has been distorted somewhat.
I was being a little flippant around the edges there. Flippant about important stuff mind. Go ask the majority of younger people with smartphones what they think about what's happening in Syria. Listen to their replies.

Tell that to the families of the maimed and dead on the bridge, who are reported to possibly include school children from France. This cannot be played down because the terrorist mindset will see it as a coup due to the symbolic nature of the target, ie, houses of parliemant, where the killer got into the grounds. It cannot be measured by size of bomb or number of victims.

It was still on the NYT photo page when I wrote the post - might not be on the twitter feed. They have a gallery of London pics. They're all agency shots of course, I think all Reuters.
I'm replying.
'Regular' photo-journalists as you call them have spent years learning. They rarely just find themselves in a sporadic situation, they travel to find what needs to be recorded from the viewpoint of themselves, or the people they work for. They are much more aware of the reality and have a great deal of background information to work from.

May is truly horrible but it is amazing that corbyn appears even worse. He was terrible.Just listening to May on the itv news. Utterly predictable statement with her voice cracking at the 'right moments'. But it was a speech by numbers, police who protect us, value our freedoms, even 'mother of all parliaments'.
Most news outlets have pixelated her face. It wasn't here. The one posted here had her staring at the camera in what can only be described as a dead eyed way. Not fair on the young lady imo to be posting shit like that, pixelated or not.

Her and Amber Rudd both listed the official "fundamental British values" that schools are forced to promote word for word as if learnt by rote.

As the law stands if you're in a public place you're considered to be 'fair game' and no consent needed.

I don't know, he twigged the bridge was the bigger story.. But security concerns and an inquiry-they did bloody well.
