What is everybody else’s view on this? Just seen the video on the Daily Mail and Channel 4 news websites and they’re basically saying its shocking and siding with the immigrants who are trying to get into the UK. Never mind the dangers the drivers face and huge fines they get if caught with illegals on board.
I may upset a few on here but I’ve got no problem with it, I guess the news feeds don’t fancy doing a report on the dangers drivers face day in day out just trying to earn a living. I wonder how many drivers have been threatened by groups of illegals in the past?
Saw it on chnl4 last night,as usual tv lot on immigrants side,even interviewed group of arab blokes trying to get over to our land of plenty,if you found someone had broken into your property I think a good kickings reasonable,shame our so called government won’t lift a finger to maintain this country’s borders
If he has good reason to, like defending himself or such like then I have no problem with it. Crack them over the head with a tyre iron, twice!!
But if it’s just so he gets a jolly out of it, hitting weaker people then he is nothing but a bully. I’ll have a look for the video see if there is any context to it.
Well im with you on the not having a problem with them getting a kicking score. They know how much trouble the trucker gets into,and how much itll cost him if they get caught,while they get medical treatment,three meals and help to fill in the asylum forms.
But was giving them a hiding really neccessery? Could he not have alerted the authorities instead?
Any links for video/newstory?
My view is already posted there. 
Don’t know if the kicking was necessary but I’m fine with him dragging them out.
If the French were doing something to stop people getting into trucks anyway then it wouldn’t happen.
Dragging them out is fine but if I had been fined in the past not knowing they where on the wagon and I found more on the wagon on another trip I think my heckles would be raised a bit and they would get a kicking.
They couldnt care less about the driver and his family loosing out.
As said before should the authorities sort this out the occasion would never arise.
I picked a trailer out of purfleet docks a few years ago got to my delivery piont in beckton popped the rear curtain pole out of the tensioner and a face popped out and made me jump so out of instinct I gave it a dam good wack with the bar I had in my hand that you needed to pop the pole out. police came along and took them away all 12 . Got a call later that day asking me to go to my local police station at my earliest opportunity to give a statement . Went that evening was questioned about an assault on one of them after giving a statement I was told if it wasn’t for the fact that once immigration will have prossesed them and released them into the community they will never be seen again they would be prosecuting me for assult.
I think they got let off too lightly, a few more serious cases of ‘get outa my truck’ type punishment might just deter one or two more from trying it.

It seemed like a few people were backing him up as well, and getting a dog involved.
Maybe if more people stick together it will act as a deterrent to a few of them.
Channel 4 news would probably prefer it if the driver acted like a good socialist and brought in a truck load of immigrants and then dropped them off after a handshake and declining any payment and directing them to the nearest social security office. 
well done trucker 
I saw nothing 
If they knew what would/could happen to the driver…

Don’t be silly, then it would be driver acting as people trafficers, and the media would have a field day calling us all scum for trafficing 
cant win with the media, though there is a pervading lefty bias

+1…stopped too soon…you can see how competent the security plobber is when he walks away with the dog…though you might have thought the flipflop cameraman would have got a slap as well as the mobile being booted up and down the road for a while.i have absolutely no sympathy for thes people whatsoever.if france controlled their borders then there would be no problem as france is only being used as a transit point before its the land of the golden giro. 
If the respective authorities did their jobs properly there would be no reason for people to take the law into their own hands.
Well you can thank the Eyeties for them getting into Europe in the first place, if the italian navy never rescued them and if they did took them back and dropped them on a beach somewhere in North Africa then they would not end up in Calais.

France is ‘controlling’ its borders unofficially by saying unless/until they get a decent government like Le Pen and the FN into power then they’ll just keep sending them our way.On the basis of if the cheap labour and Socialist alliance that runs Britain wants them then lets get them there and out of here ASAP. 
As for UKIP it is turning out to be a farce.Just as expected of a party that talks the talk but can’t back it such as not supporting Le Pen and the FN.

Where channel 4 and BBC news will be waiting together with a delegation of the LabLibdemCon alliance telling the Italians what terrible inhuman zb’s they are by not bringing them in and getting them to England.
Good on the driver, id buy him a pint.
