Tory photoshopper apologises

Tory Photoshopper Ed Matts has apologised for the "foolish mistake" of altering a photograph of himself protesting against the deportation of a family of asylum seekers on his election publicity.

He doctored the photo so it shows him holding a placard saying: "Controlled immigration". To charges of hypocrisy, he replies: "Being involved in an individual asylum case is not inconsistent with the Conservative view that Britain's asylum system is in urgent need of attention."
