A charged term that I wouldn't have used, but semantically apt.
However, what I believe to be absurd is the self-indulgent, narcissistic and in some cases dishonest tone of the press in relation to the matter. Eye-watering arrogance making me almost ashamed to come from the same country.
The ridiculousness of the coverage can be summed up when finding out how many refugees Britain has taken in compared to other European countries, as well as the fact that this has been going on in Calais and Coquelles for years.
