Re: 39 people found dead in lorry

Strikes me we should have a hard border with Ireland .
The Irish ( not all of them of course ) seem bent on making trouble by smuggling if it’s not pigs it’s drugs and now people .

Priti Patel, our Home Secretary is a complete liar.

She knows we cannot restrict Immigration until she gets new systems in place.

She has not instructed that these new systems be implemented.
We may be aware of that, but people who want to live here and have a better life won't! They are unlikely to be reading about Brexit rules, they just want an escape from the poor life they have. Sadly these 39 people died because they trusted the money making traffickers that brought them here!

Re: 39 people found dead in lorry

If they are so poor where do they get the reputed £10,000 to pay the people traffickers ?

Harsher punishment for people traffickers, seizing assets and paying compensation to relatives, if they can be traced, who have lost loved one in such horrendous circumstances.

How desperate must they be to risk their lives, dying to get here.

Re: 39 people found dead in lorry

Should all International trucking companies be made to be responsible for whatever is shipped here from abroad?

Obviously, in this case, to company did little to have that lorry checked, thoroughly, at any stage.

It's someone's lorry & they should be totally responsible for it.

That might make drivers want to be more careful.

They must surely be checked for weight so as not to be overloaded.

Desperate to access the flourishing black employment market, all cash in hand of course..

Also desperate to claim asylum once here and get their claws on everything that then follows.

Some desperate to escape justice

Some desperate to return home after their work for ISIS

Desperate oh yes, but always for the wrong reasons.

Re: 39 people found dead in lorry

I find it strange that there is little or no mention of the driver who drove the lorry off the ferry at Purfleet when the victims must have been in the trailer and possibly already dead. This tractor presumeably has since returned to the Continent. The Irish driver appears to have come over from NI after this happened.
