Photographs of British visitors to Kos walking, eyes averted, past asylum seekers who recently staggered off overloaded dinghies, have gone around the world, along with quotes underlining the revulsion felt by both tourists and sympathetic British journalists for the kind of riff-raff happy to ruin another persons package holiday.

Given the trouble that the holidaying British have traditionally taken, since Byrons day, to embrace the local culture, perhaps their dismay is understandable.

At least the millions of Mexicans walked across our border and needed no assistance.
