Has sunk to depths I couldn't have imagined. Who to complain to?
The report from Ian Birrell is sick to the extreme.
Describing a young girl with long hair, black shirt over her shoulders, then I shut off. Almost like he was excited by it.
That could be any of our daughters.

this : There was something almost beautiful about the white ribbons tied to stakes as they fluttered in the wind; some sitting amid a sea of golden corn, others poking from clusters of yellow and blue wildflowers.
FFS is he trying to be William Wordsworth or something? Appalling!
and :
But then you saw that these were the most macabre of markings, each one representing the final landing place for hundreds of human beings slaughtered in the sky last week.
Last week????? Does this journo know how to read a calendar? >:(
To read of my daughter's hair, and her black Tshirt pulled up around her shoulders? This Ian Birrell's a bit sick, surely? What normal man would look at the body of a dead woman and describe it as such? It reads more like a soft porn scene.
In a scene of such horror and report it back to the desk, and then for the Editor to approve it for publication. The Mail is very ill indeed.
ETA. I should have said, The Mail Online is a sick newspaper. I have no idea whether the printed version and on line share the same Editor, if so, shame you twice fold.
I came across a little girl, maybe four or five, her uncovered corpse in its cute red top beside some bushes. Nearby was a pink and white stuffed toy bear, a big smile stuck incongruously on its felt face, alongside a Winnie the Pooh.

Dopey C*** should be sacked.
He actually names dead people from their belongings.
"But a big camera bag was empty. All that was inside was a pink sheet of paper showing black and white pictures of a baby called
apparently born at ---- on
last year to ‘proud parents...

I've blanked the details. What a disgusting scavenger.
Mail Online, hang your head in shame.
He could be in shock though and may need counseling. He sounds like he has lost the plot.
He was so shocked, when he wrote his piece he went into Barbara Cartland mode.
Whereas agencies and the press making money off the back of these photos is perfectly fine...
Maybe I'm getting the wrong idea but it seems like (flowery rhetoric aside) the main purpose of that article is to paint the local Ukrainian people as macabre savages when, let's face it, if the authorities weren't around to stop it, the exact same thing would probably be happening anywhere in the world, including the UK or USA.
What's more, to be fair, it seems likely that a lot of the "gawkers" might have turned up simply to see if they can help or, perhaps, to pay their respects to the victims.
Course, I suppose the underlying issue being highlighted is that there's a woeful lack of control over the site which is likely to hinder and future investigation.
Heil and Wail.
Wail huh? That a new one for me. Still works
Indeed.
Some of them are very clearly being respectful, whereas the Mail is being the very thing it accusing others.
