African affairs

The Sunday Times appears to be more concerned about the opulence of the Home Secretary's holiday accommodation than the migrant crisis:
Sajid Javid was last night forced to abandon his family holiday at a luxury safari hideaway in South Africa’s Kruger National Park after a growing backlash over his handling of the migrant crisis.
The home secretary came under fire after he declared a “major incident” over the surge in Channel boat migrants while he was staying at one of the most luxurious safari lodges in sub- Saharan Africa.
Javid, his wife and children were staying over Christmas at Dulini, a lodge that charges £840 per person per night. It offers guests private plunge pools and in-room massages to relax after game drives spotting leopards, lions and elephants by the water hole.
 Perhaps if Javid had remained at home, The Sunday Times wouldn't have bothered with the story?
