PM brands Syrian exiles ‘bunch of migrants’
Holocaust Memorial Day insult ‘dehumanises refugees to score political point’
CRASS David Cameron came under fire yesterday for branding families fleeing Syria’s civil war a “bunch of migrants.”
The Prime Minister was accused of “dehumanising” people caught up in a humanitarian crisis in order to score political points.
Campaigners and MPs said the fact that the comments came on Holocaust Memorial Day made them even more inappropriate.
