David Kittos, who had to flee his home in Cyprus in 1974, is angry that the Trump campaign have used his image
Donald Trump Jr's tweet comparing Skittles to refugees has caused a furore on social media. In a new development, the man who took the photo of the Skittles has revealed himself to be a former refugee.

David Kittos, 48, from Guildford, UK, woke up to find an image he had posted to Flickr in January 2010 had become embroiled in a political controversy.
"This was not done with my permission
, I don't support his politics and I would never take his money to use it," Mr Kittos told the BBC.
"In 1974, when I was six-years old, I was a refugee from the Turkish occupation of Cyprus so I would never approve the use of this image against refugees."

Same people who would kill the last wild animal on earth & hoist its head on a wall above their dining room table.
Just because.
