This is a picture from the bbc news website showing migrants on the island of Lesbos

Fantastic shot which looks timeless

What a bizarre post.

Go on then, enlighten us, what’s the point of this post?

That’s the solution. Just let the good looking ones in.

If we take note of the hour this thread was started. It’s highly likely alcohol was involved…

It’s this, but today, in Europe.

Most memorable ‘naturally beautiful’ recent image for me was right at the end of ‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ when the Scandinavian princess turns over to fulfil her promise…

I don’t understand why the screenshot is “timeless”.

Your picture isn’t of migrants or refugees, so not really.

First picture is mleh. Nowhere near the timeless impact of the “Migrant Mother” image that midlifecrashes posted.

Interesting thing about the “Migrant Mother” is that it is a lie.

The photographer, Dorothea Lange, basically made up a compelling back story for it: “Seven hungry children. Father is native Californian. Destitute in pea pickers’ camp … because of failure of the early pea crop. These people had just sold their tires to buy food… I did not ask her name or her history. She told me her age, that she was 32. She said that they had been living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields and birds that the children killed. She had just sold the tires from her car to buy food.”

The subject, Florence Owens Thompson, tells a different story.

(Also it is retouched. The original is darker and has a big distracting thumb in the right hand corner)

True enough, but that’s how it’s titled and was presented for at least forty years. It doesn’t appear that the reporter with the picture on the BBC website has tried to give us this family’s full story either.

Knit pickers are in !

I took a screen shot to show the picture !

She happens to be very pretty and sometimes its nice to recognise that, irrelevant that she’s a migrant etc.

Knit pickers

Nitpickers

Personally I don’t she’s all that, Migrant or not. 😕

Shag it but wouldn’t go out with it, as the saying went at school.

Both pictures are, although the Lange one is a lot better.

A new low for stw

Odd thread gets odder.

Here are some referendum-Greeks. The one in the middle is very pretty. I think it’s important to recognise that, irrelevant that she’s probably bankrupt.

😉

Yep shes much more betterer!!

If we take note of the hour this thread was started. It’s highly likely alcohol was involved…

That’s a splendid template for a Monday night in, right there. Bottle of Scotch, browse the news websites for pictures of hot refugees.

🙂

Er… Phwoar?

If you’re interested in the story of the destitute fruit pickers in California, listen to the song California Cottonfields by Merle Haggard. It’s even quite a nice tune if you have to listen to Country & Western.

I suspect she was most likely killed by that volcanic eruption moments after the photo.

You’re all wasying your time, she’s “on the isle of lesbos”, if you know what I mean. It says so on the picture.

I think the OP’s point is that we should care about good-looking women much more than people who aren’t good looking – material I think Ben Stiller covered adequately in that film about models, but still, there is no harm in repeating it.

I think Kate Adie had this covered (at least I think it was her) in the famous article about journalists going in to report on the Balkan war with her article entitled “has anybody here been raped, and speak English ?”

Women: know your place !

Someones clearly got a job lot of purple baseball caps they neded to get shut of

After that read “In the Country of Country”.

‘ad ‘er.

Could we soon be arriving at a position on immigration similar to that of A level results, where only pretty, photogenic, middle class females (no overweight, spotty male ones wearing tracksuits, god forbid!), prepaed to hug each, other while jumping (photogenically) in the air are of any importance?

This is going to present a real problem with all these muslamics walking around wearing sacks. They’ve got their priorities all wrong

The one in the middle is very pretty.

There’s eight people in the pic, but yeh they’re both alright. 🙂

I believe the idea is that the media will focus on muslamic men, playing on Rudolph Valentino / Omar Sharif sheik imagery, to keep the female voters happy and so further their liberal pro-immigration agenda.
