Well, certainly nobody else has dared to suggest that the picture was staged. But everything else she says in that article makes perfect sense to me.

[brainiac]

From what I've read, the boy on the beach who died (whose brother and mother also died) were put on the boat by their father, who didn't die. They had all been living in Turkey for about a year, so were already safe

jesus

you mean they got a live child
and drownded him in a bath or something

and then ran up and plonked him at the feet of a Turkish policeman and said hey look at this....

[ yeah most likely explanation I think ]

[Svejk]

No, nobody said that. Only you.

[agchristie]

Dear oh dear, I would love to hear the reaction from Lord Sugar.

Words fail me....

[New Judge]

Whether or not the photo was staged there is little doubt or denial that the family lived in Turkey for some time and the father actually had a job.

Only last night on Question Time yet again this incident was mentioned only on the face value that it was originally publicised (i.e. that the family had taken to the sea whilst fleeing for their lives). Once again the audience (selected purely at random, of course) whooped and clapped when it was suggested that "we must act to avoid such humanitarian tragedies recurring". We're all being conned on a massive scale and our stupid politicians are falling for the scams more than anybody.

By the way, who is Katie Hopkins?

[tonyav]

Appeared on the tv show the Apprentice a few years ago, NJ.

[ummmm]

Katie Hopkins is a very charming journalist....

[Peter Pedant]

well the staging is ... what ?

the migrants/refugees are pretty obviously not all from Syria

even the Beeb - nest of bleeding heart liberals if ever I saw one - now do a country of origin check. There is not an awful lot of arabic spoken in the background ....

staged in what way ?
they took a body with them and chucked it in the water when they spotted ..... cameras ?

Because she's so reviled the assumption is all she says is lies and just to shock but some of the time,like here, she may be right. I find her very entertaining and thought provoking.

[Peter Pedant]

Katie H

too much even for Nigel Farage apparently

[Prudie]

You mean for his PR, not necessarily him personally.

[Peter Pedant]

yeah but as Life teaches us ( me... one )

when inveterate liars speak the truth - it is treated like all the previous garbage you have been served with

along with the supplementary question - blimey what has happened to cause he or she to start truthing

[Peter Pedant]

// You mean for his PR, not /necessarily him personally./

I have no idea of his personal habits besides he likes beer alot it seems

[ummmm]

I don't think she's believes half of what she says. She says it to stay in the news.

She made a complete tool of herself on This Morning when she was slating parents for the names they give their kids.

[Mamyalynne]

I've seen the authenticity of the photograph questioned before - right here on this site.

Perfect sense....Ghastly old bag ! This makes me so angry.

She's difficult, complicated, opinionated, insouciant - and I love her!
