No Borders... Here's One Of The Reasons.

[BIAD]

With the latest revelation that the thirty-nine bodies found in a refrigeration trailer were Chinese 'migrants',
the rumour-hungry media are now claiming that they had died before the container had reached the UK.

The BBC are proposing some of the deceased may be Vietnamese with this report:

'The BBC knows of six Vietnamese families who fear their relatives are among the victims.



They include Pham Thi Tra My, 26, who has not been heard from since she sent text messages
on Tuesday saying she could not breathe...'

BBC:

One cannot imagine what Pham Thi Tra My's family are thinking right now, but just like the other rats
that want ratings, the BBC can't be sure.

The Sun on the other-hand are just rocking and rolling with the idea that this tragic and horrible incident
is Chinese related and even go as far as to indicate the organisation involved.

Essex lorry deaths – 39 Chinese migrants ‘dead for at least 12 hours before reaching UK in -25C truck.

'The 39 Chinese migrants whose bodies were found in a refrigerated lorry trailer in Essex had been dead for
at least 12 hours before reaching the UK, it is claimed. Lorry driver Maurice 'Mo'  Robinson, 25, is still being
quizzed on suspicion of murder after he picked up the trailer packed with bodies from Purfleet yesterday.

The trailer arrived at Purfleet from Zeebrugge in Belgium at around 12.30am on Wednesday after a ten-hour
ferry ride. Vehicles must arrive at the Belgian port around one and a half hours before the boat leaves.
The lorry's front section came from Northern Ireland via Holyhead, North Wales on Sunday.

Last night, police began the grim task of removing the bodies from the lorry, with 11 victims taken by private
ambulance from the Port of Tilbury to Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford.

The Mayor of Zeebrugge, Dirk De Fauw, insist the migrants were dead before they arrived at Zeebrugge, or they
would have been detected by heat cameras. De Fauw said: "It proves once again how the human traffickers work.

WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR:
39 adults found dead on truck in Grays, Essex, believed to have frozen to death
Police confirm the victims are Chinese nationals including eight women
Lorry trailer registered in Varna, Bulgaria, and travelled into Purfleet, Essex, from Zeebrugge, in Belgium
Driver Maurice 'Mo' Robinson, 25, from Northern Ireland arrested on suspicion of murder
'Snakehead' Chinese gangs are suspected of masterminding the migrant-smuggling plot
Cops are also said to be investigating a criminal gang with links to Irish dissident paramilitaries...'

But assumptions are better than facts and so The Sun also offers:

'CHINESE SNAKEHEAD GANG LINKS
Ruthless Chinese “Snakehead” gangs masterminded the people smuggling plot which sparked the Essex lorry horror,
it was believed last night

Trafficking gangs founded in the eastern province of Fujian make millions ferrying migrant “slaves” and prostitutes from
East to West.Their profits have rocketed in recent years fuelled by the desperation of peasants prepared to risk their lives
to flee the poverty of China’s rural hinterlands.

Investigators say Chinese families of migrants dreaming of a new life in the West pay tens of thousands of pounds for their
loved ones’ “safe” passage to the UK.Gangs promise their human cargo will be gifted well paid jobs in Britain as waitresses
or office clerks.

But thousands of women who fall into the Snakehead’s clutches end up as prisoners in brothels - or enslaved in nail bars an
underground cannabis factories.And their families back home never learn of their plight, but are held responsible for their travel
costs and continue to pay the gangs for years.

Meanwhile, police are also reportedly focusing their investigation on three suspected Irish gang members they believe may have
been involved in the smuggling operation which led to the death of the 39 migrants.

Detectives are investigating the men, who are suspected of being part of a South Armagh criminal gang with links to dissident
paramilitaries, The Daily Telegraph reports.

One man has links to a Bulgarian company that owned the lorry cab which transported the refrigerated trailer the migrants' bodies
were found in from the port of Purfleet, the paper claims...'

The Sun:

There's more in the link, but it seems that with: 'Second man from Northern Ireland detained at Stansted airport over 39 deaths',
reported by The Guardian, this problem with illegal immigration into the UK is well embedded.
