I have just been watching a report on the 58 bodies found in the back of a container truck at Dover, England. These illegal immigrants had travelled from China to Belgium and then on to Britain at a cost of £10,000 each. If they had £10,000 surely they could have travelled to this country legally? And how come they ended up in a truck when they had already been detained in Belgium? Were our European cousins trying to pass the problem on?
Whatever happened, it is unlikely that all the people will be identified and even more unlikely that their deaths will act as a deterrent to others.

Good thought Ginger. A dead person with no identity can be very influencial. 58 of them really have something to say.
