They say a picture paints a 1000 words, the tragic picture in the newspaper of the 3 boy drowned in Turkey has ignited waves of emotional hysteria and disinformation, the local radio station has been jammed with callers demanding the government should allow more migrants into the UK.
A local UKIP member who phoned in to try to put the story into perspective was accused of being a heartless B*****D, all he said was that a lot of these migrants were being erroneously described as refugees by the media when in fact they were economic migrants.
In the case of the family of the 3 year old he pointed out that his family had been in Turkey for 3 years and the father had had a job and a home, after being turned down for permission to emigrate to Canada the father decided to take his family to Europe.
While in Turkey the family were classified as refugees as they had come from Syria to escape violence but once they got on the boat to Europe they became economic migrants, this point seemed to be lost on the radio presenter he and others who called into his programme kept repeating the story that the 3 year old and his family had no choice but to get into a leaky boat because they were fleeing for their lives.
