The people traffickers were in a second boat & shepherded them part way across The Channel. Apparently this individual actually claimed asylum in France but his application was refused. He explained that his claim was made on political grounds & the French refuse a high proportion of these, hence him paying traffickers to get to the UK & why he reckons his fellow Iranians are doing the same.  Two points.  1. I thought that once you had an asylum claim refused in another EU country, you were in the system & all other claims in any other EU country were refused? If this is the case, why would he be allowed to make a claim in the UK?  2. Why having refused his asylum claim did the French not deal with him in the first instance & deport him?  One question I would have liked the BBC reporter to have asked is how did a supposedly penniless migrant get his hands on €3000? who said hes penniless? if hes claiming asylum on political grounds that doesnt mean he doesnt have money?, maybe he spent his last 3000 on this trip? maybe now hes penniless? Its not hes from the poorer and war torn Iraq or Afganistan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Penistone999   10 #254 Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) Police close M6 motorway tonight after 27 of them found in back of a wagon  https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/8158607/m6-closed-as-police-declare-major-incident-and-search-lorries-leaving-man-city-and-burton-albion-fans-stuck-in-jams/  This needs stopping ,and stopping now.

What happened on the M6 isn't great but its hardly an every day occurrence.  No, your post couldn't have been funnier if you posted a video of yourself dressed as clown, on a clown tricycle and then the wheels fall off. Now open a window, the hypocrisy is overpowering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

What sort of costs and delays would be caused by your master plan?Targeted checks are carried out by personnel with X Rays and CO2 detection. No doubt given the money to back up the government rhetoric,more checks could be carried out,but certainly not 100% of all traffic. Have you been to a ferry or container terminal. As the article says,this wagon was stopped,but why it wasn’t escorted off the motorway for processing,I have no idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Baron99   798 #261 Posted January 11, 2019 A couple of convictions for people trafficking. A drop in the ocean, (no pun intended), at least it's a start. Maybe the convictions should get a more prominent airing on the main news along with the stories of people trying to arrive by boat. The sentences might make them think we're not such a soft touch when you're caught.  https://www.kentonline.co.uk/dover/news/people-smuggler-hid-four-children-in-van-195799/  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-wales-46714604  I don't see any mention of the convicted being deported back to their home countries though at the end of their sentences? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
