I have very mixed feelings about this. First, the loss of the five people took up the first ten minutes of BBC News tonight. The terrible loss of life in the Med after the sinking of the refugee boat got a couple of minutes, several topics down.

We've spent three days agonising about five people gradually running out of oxygen. In the end, that wasn't the case, and it seems that they died instantly last Sunday. I hate to say it, but that came as a relief. I don't care that they were billionaires who could easily afford a quarter of a million quid in order to indulge their need for a thrill. You don't deserve to die for that, whatever we think about that there could have been a far better use of their loose money. It takes a lot for justifying the deaths of people, billionaires or not.

Anyway, it's all very sad. I don't care a jot about the safety or otherwise of these crafts. It's of no interest to me at all. I just wish that we could do a bit more of the human thing over those refugees in small boats.
