Spiked does have an interesting view of the world, and many people will automatically ignore the publication. So take a pinch of salt to some of the paragraphs - but I think it&#x27;s an interesting read overall.<p>The &quot;crisis&quot; is being used as a culture war, I agree and we do use it to show that we have compassion via online media. &quot;here let me RT this photo of a dead child and show that I care&quot;. And is has become devoid of the roots of the problem by becoming less political and into something that occurred almost accidentally. I agree with this.<p>We also do tend to infantalise migrants. They have to be cared and coddled and be treated like children and not the adults with brains, desires, free will and their own opinions.<p>I disagree with the conclusion of the argument about EU leaders wanting to reduce democracy. That doesn&#x27;t make sense and smacks of paranoia and the type of viewpoint of Spiked. Overall though it&#x27;s a good article.
