Smuggled - Absolutely shocking
I've just watched a programme that was aired on 4th November on Channel 4 which we had recorded.
It was about showing how easy it is to get into Britain from abroad.
Smuggler 1 was an elderly couple who own a motorhome and Channel 4 took the ladies passport away and her husband attempted to smuggle her into Britain hiding under seats in the motorhome
Smuggle 2 was a man who tried to cross the seas on a dinghy
Smuggle 3 was someone who was coming in the country in a lorry and one bloke was hidden behind seats covered with blankets
Smuggle 4 was an Asian man who was using another Asian mans passport.
I'm horrified to say every single one of these four people were successful in getting into this country undetected.
I#m going to watch episode 2 later this afternoon.
Did you see it? It's really shocking to realise how easy it is to get into this country without being checked and detected. There is no hope unless something is seriously done about the border control.
I get they can't really check every single vehicle that comes across the border as the delays would be horrendous but 4 OUT OF 4 getting in? That's just terrible and shocking. More checks need to be done!
