39 dead in a lorry - driver arrested

In some gruesome news a couple of days ago it was reported that thirty-nine people, including one teenager, were found dead in the back of a refrigerated lorry (it is not known at this stage if the fridge was on) at an industrial park in Grays, Essex, UK and the driver arrested, after pulling in from having picked up the trailer/container from Purfleet a port near Tilbury, a major docking point from Europe (France/Belgium/Denmark/Sweden/Russia).

The driver, 25-year old 'Mo' Robinson from Portadown, Tyrone, Northern Ireland had driven from his home with his driver's cabin, picked up the container, believed to have arrived from Zeebrugge, Belgium and originating from Bulgaria - an estimated three-day journey overland, circa 1:05 am. Now what is interesting, is that within 35 minutes it is claimed Mr Robinson himself discovered the bodies and called the emergency services.

Yet, the press have labelled this poor fellow 'one of Britain's worse mass murderers'. Now, he may or may not be involved in organised people trafficking crime but to labelled this young father-to-be a 'mass murderer' and plaster his face all over the media is beyond appalling and also inhumane and another Chris Jeffries waiting to happen.

Even the BBC are reporting it was the 'ambulance services' who discovered the body.

Quote:

Ambulance staff discovered the bodies in the container at Waterglade Industrial Park in Grays just after 01:30 BST on Wednesday. The lorry and trailer left the port at Purfleet shortly after 01:05.

Eric Van Duyse, a spokesman for the Belgian federal prosecutor's office, said an investigation into the incident was under way.
He added: "We have no idea at the moment how long the lorry spent in Belgium, it could be hours or days, we just don't know."

The irony is, Mo Robinson is reported by his friends and family and 'the people of Northern Ireland (catholic and protestant') to have been released without charge.

Then there is the spectacle of Boris Johnson and Priti Patel crying fake tears when the UK has one of the worst records for accepting asylum seekers and detention centres have no cap on how long you can be detained for whilst awaiting a deportation decision. Who remembers the Tories' 'hostile environment' policy and the Windrush scandal? These tragedies are waiting to happen.
