Comment: Ignore the right-wing press - refugees are fleeing for their lives

The island of Lesvos, tucked away in a corner of the Aegean Sea, has become the epicentre of the European refugee crisis. You don't even need to land on the island to see the evidence of the 300,000 refugees who have come to shore since January. Looking down as you land at the airport, the entire coastline is fringed with an orange and black lip of deflated dinghies and low quality life jackets.
