A ferry carrying 250 people has capsized in the Philippines.


Excuse me if I'm mistaken, but seeing as chit chatters are so concerned with overseas news thought I'd share. 250 potential fatalities against 19 injuries. Let me guess which one you give more prominence to.Plain

Well if attempted mass murder is not more newsworthy and shocking than any accidental loss of life at sea then it shows just how barbaric and cruel and warped this world has become

I thought it fit here because this was a thread about news stories from the other side of the world.

I mean we could start new threads for every new story but that'd be silly. But seeing as there's a few people seemingly so concerned with overseas affairs I thought I'd share it.

We are not concerned about overseas affairs , we are concerned about something that is attempted mass murder.
now you seem too think that we should be more concerned about a ship that sinks and its tragic consequences
I disagree

Of course , especially when the murderers claim that religious motivation

Should the religion of those poor souls lost in an accident at sea be part of the story ?
No of course not , that is a human story for all its sadness

'Last weekend I was on a train from Manchester to Oxford. The passenger next to me started spewing random racist comments towards the two Chinese passengers sitting opposite us. She then turned to me and said: “If I was in the country that you come from I would be stoned to death for being a Christian.”

After I called her out for her racism she apologised and then asked me if I celebrated Christmas. I responded by telling her: “This is my country, I’m in my country.” And no, I don’t celebrate Christmas in the same way she does, but my family cook a big Christmas dinner with all the trimmings.

As she stood up to leave the train I put my hand out and she shook it. I wished her and her family a very happy Christmas.



1.01 this scenario was invented.

Pure propaganda promoting one side and one politics.  I really cannot see how a paper that is fiercely  feminist can promote an ideology that opposes everything that liberal philosophy and feminism stands for.

Does mentioning a tragedy in the Far East make me a quisling trilby? 
#thingsyoulearn


Not sure about a quisling, although Trilby is rarely wrong, but I do think it makes you look rather thick.
The thread is about an attack in the name of an ideology  and the lack of reporting. Now that is only to prevalent here in the UK and hence the thread.
Tragic as it is I don't think the incident you quote has any bearing on that.

“He has said that he attributes his actions to the perceived mistreatment of Muslims,” Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said. “At this stage . . . apart from that statement, there are no known links to any political issues or any links to extremist groups.”

If police or intelligence officials conclude that Thursday’s vehicle attack was motivated by religious or political beliefs, as opposed to mental illness, the incident could trigger a backlash against Australia’s refugee program and strengthen conservatives in Turnbull’s center-right government.

“I don’t have an issue with saying this is an act of terrorism if we establish that it is,” Patton said. “It would be easier to come out and say that straight up. But that’s not the case at this stage. We don’t have sufficient [evidence] to justify that.”
