    Sadly that is regarded as humour I thought you were above this @the2ems

    Not trying to start world war 3 or anything but isn't @the2ems post on par with the one @3901mick posted?
    Or is it because one is a picture and the other one a cartoon?
    Like I said, not looking to get chastised or start a verbal war. Just wondered on peoples views.

    On a personal level, I didn't find the cartoon funny either. However, using a picture of real human beings suffering (and crossing the channel in a rib is suffering) is poor taste.

    Very good point, like yourself it’s hard to differentiate one that was not challenged with another on a similar theme that was.
    Not trying to defend either but Matt is a brilliant portrayer of life and satire. The other is a sad real life portrayal of real life. Not sure but must admit I found Matt’s slightly light hearted and satirical ( but close to the edge) whereas I found the photo not funny at all.
    It’s opinions isn’t it .

    This is down to self moderation people shouldn’t have to explain what’s wrong with a post, but on the other hand no one wants to stifle free expression or humour.

    As I see it, Matt's cartoon is a political statement mocking the French authorities while the2ems photo is suggesting a direct link between the Senegalese and asylum seekers.
