Gotta laugh at Trucknet!:

Reason:
Contains many totally unacceptable racist comments.
Oh dear.

It's not unusual for a driver not to know what is inside a trailer, but what is unusual is that he has driven a short distance from the dock, gone off-route, and then opened the rear doors, normally there would be no reason to do this, rather you would drive to your delivery point and open the doors there. This is key to me. I'm wanting to believe he has not played any knowing part in this but I cant work out why the lorry has stopped in the way and at the place it has. It bears the hall marks of a pre arranged drop off but if that is the case he must have got a hell of a shock when he opened the doors. Equally though its possible I guess that something else caught his attention and he pulled over to look inside. Either way to me it seems likely he is the one that called the emergency services which I guess if true is something in is favour (knowing what the possible consequences for him would be).

I see the BBC (at least) are now correctly refering to 'trailer' and 'tractor unit'.

"POLICE warned the government three years ago that people smugglers were targeting Purfleet - the Essex port where the lorry container carrying the 39 migrants docked"
"Ministers were told by the National Crime Agency (NCA) that the port was being used by people smugglers because it was "less busy" than other ports"
"Five years ago, one migrant died and 35 others - including children - were rescued from a container at nearby Tilbury Docks. Workers heard screaming and banging from the 40ft container soon after a P&O ferry docked in the Essex port"
" Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he was ‘appalled by this tragic incident’ " - strangely, the government has known about this for at least three years (see above). Why suddenly 'appalled', Boris? You knew it was going on!

"Mr Robinson, who is pictured on social media with a Loyalist flag, is understood to have left the £300,000 home he shares" - that's a lot of money for a young truck driver.
I see the Daily Mail is not allowing any comments on this! How strange.

Why a refridgerated trailer unit? People inside don't show up on heat scans. They are a sealed unit as well, so no CO2 detected. Therein lies the problem, O2 used up. Still, the gang has already got their money!

WTF ?? how much do you think it would cost to share a £300k house? I ask because I don't know, but you seem to have inside knowledge. ...................... sorry, I am letting myself down - why am I bothering to even read your 'contributions', let alone respond.

Let's say his bird owns the other half. Half of 300,000K is 150,000K, and if Mr Robinson has earned 150,000 after taxes and N.I. contributions and things like that, then he must have put in a lot of overtime.

Still, the gang has already got their money! Will the families of the deceased go after this gang? Perhaps there is no 'gang' at all - 39 people just saw an open container/unit and thought "Let's hop in and see where it takes us."

Thanks even though it's in the headline the article doesn't exactly collaborate that. Interestingly why have they mentioned this. A vigil is being held at 18:00 outside the Home Office to "call for urgent action to ensure safe passage" for people fleeing war and poverty. Which war would that be? And they can't be that poor having paid someone to ship them here.

Mate, when I sold my house a couple of years ago I got just shy of £1/2M for it. I paid £85k for it. Repayment mortgage was £500/month.

So has he been released or not, or was he unarrested and is now answering questions voluntarily.
His house and one other was searched.
The media are just as confused as I am I think.
