There are undoubtedly some poor ignorant real refugees embedded; but when they end up dropped off a very small sea frontage, and subsequently have individuals "attempting suicide" at their treatment, complaining of pregnant women being "beaten by the British", chanting "Guantanamo" behind the wire for the cameras (when they can claim asylum in Cyprus and walk out, or be returned 60 miles across the Med*); and pleading for sanctuary in England - it's an obvious
PR exercise.
Regretfully it's a hard head, hard lip, hard luck scenario. Thankfully they obviously didn't bank on being moved to Dhekelia and the opportunity to disrupt operations at Akrotiri.
*I noted the child (obviously) crying on camera about not being able to sleep in a freezing tent - when he'd reportedly come from a tented camp in Jordan/Lebanon - less than a 100 miles away - and at a higher altitude.......
