Haiti

Terrible situation as everyone already knows, but I’m starting to get more and more wound up by the media coverage.

Dead bodies in the street, people dying, burnt people, hungry people, dirty people, broken people.

Lets grab it all and pipe it to the rest of the world that hardly gives a fuck on camera. I say hardly gives a fuck because its all very well sitting there getting teared up about the poor people but who is actually going to DO something about it.

One reporter on ITV says “The old people are the most vulnerable and have been left by the strong, deserted, hungry and are in their final days, they try to cling to their dignity, but it’s hard”.

I’m sure it fucking is with a healthy white camera crew stood there with camera’s pointed in their fucking faces. Apparently the aid mission out to Haiti has probably been the biggest ever, but in that reporter’s opinion, the worst.

’scuse me a minute here but to be brutally honest charity should start at home. Our country is going to the fucking dogs due to the cack handed way the government and management within the civil service / councils. It’s utterly obvious that the old and mentally disabled are going to be the most vulnerable in an already impoverished nation that gets hit by a major natural disaster. We’re supposedly not rushing to help these people miles away because we’re hardly able to help our fucking selves most of the time.

I’d donate if I thought any of it was actually going to get there, as it seems at the moment the opinion in line with the reporter on the TV, not a lot of it would. It’s a real shame that disasters like this only seem to hit the poorest places where people have it so hard in the first place but like any heartless human being, I’m sat here and I’m quite happy to say “how terrible” then go about my daily life as per normal. As will you.
