Did anyone see this the other day. About the illegal immigrants found in the lorry and weather to charge the romainian driver. Turns out he is on £800 a month no wonder flip flops are killing rates and jobs across europe.
I’m pretty sure someone on here checked out Waberers before and doing 3 month stints in a lorry got you £765 a month.
What I ask would they charge him with.I have swanned around Europe for 43 years and as some will remember,at each and every port serving the UK
a large Home Office poster was on display showing what it was illegal to bring into the UK.Guns,drugs and flick knifes etc. but never a mention about
immigrants.During Labour/Blair days HM Customs officers, the pros, amalgamated with the Immigration lot and the Border Guards were formed while
at the same time to be good Europeans,the Home Office signs vanished.The only poster since was about paying the UK toll.Now if bringing illegals into
the UK is such an offence why don’t they advise through signage that it IS an offence and what the penalties are before the driver boards the train or ferry.
Just surprised some lawyer has never used this fact in court and according to a recent press report fines gathered so far have reach £5 million.
The European ports I use not only are there no signs, on arriving in the UK it’s rare to find Border Guards doing any checking except for passports.
Armagedon:
What I ask would they charge him with
Section 143 Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 “Assisting unlawful immigration to a member state.”
Are people so stupid that they need to be told that bringing people with no passports in the back of a lorry into another country is illegal?
Yes some are Conor…if in court,you knew what the rule actually is no reason it could not be displayed in the ports we use in multi languages,hell, our
council offices have instructions in many,many languages to tell them what to claim.
It’s probably that the do gooders would say it was offensive or racist like they do with almost anything else, the system in place is bs in a lot of ways, the revenue raised isn’t invested on better detection equipment or more border guards ,or one way plane or ferry tickets for deportation of these illegals, no they get to stay instead that imo is a ■■■■■■■■
Thats how it finished. Illegal family got house an benefits. Asylum got rejected yet they were left to it as thier appealing desicion. Complete joke.

I completely understand. That’s why there are thousands of drivers at that company as the pay is fine for there circumstances.
