Quote:A couple have been fined £1,500 after they found a migrant had gripped onto the back of their motor van on the way home from France.
When Adrian and Joanne Fenton discovered the individual zipped beneath the cover of a bike rack at their home in Essex, in October, they reported the incident to the police.
The couple, from Heybridge, were then fined by the Home Office for neglecting to check that someone was concealed within the motorhome, according to the BBC.Quote:The 55-year-old claimed that neither the cover nor the bike rack had been examined by border guards in Calais or the UK before to or following the crossing.
The "really tight" cover they had been using for their bicycles on the back of the camper was unzipped, according to Mr Fenton.
"He sees two trainers... goes to have a look, and there's two legs attached to it," Ms Fenton told the BBC.
"He's gone 'Jo, you need to phone the police. We've got a stowaway.'"
She said the person hiding inside the carrier told police he was from Sudan and that he was 16 years old.
I guess the UK prefers their citizens to let illegals roam free rather than report them. Take heed, UK. Trump garnered significant support because we didnt take border security seriously. These dumb lib politicians think their constituents are for open borders. Somehow, we've made it seem racist to say we don't want illegal immigrants in our countries. I don't care what shade their skin color is; I care if they are legally here.
The law they have broken was brought in by the Tories as an anti-illegal immigration measure (and the labour party aren't the liberal party)
