But the figures, released under the Freedom of Information Act, show just �2million has been collected from foreign firms, a shortfall of at least �1million. British hauliers have been fined around �300,000.

Why are these foreign drivers allowed to get away without paying their fines?

Could not the authorities impound all vehicles until their fines are paid?

If the British authorities are aware foreign drivers are smuggling these immigrants I assume they must have been impounded on arrival. How many are sent straight back? Surely they don't go through the asylum process?
I suppose if they impounded their vehicles the build up would be similar to the M20 lorry park whenever there is dispute at the French ports. As well as a hefty fine they should be denied entry on their next trip.

This is a recent statement, taken from an illegal immigrant in Calais.

�The British welcome us when we �arrive � they make life very easy. It is the ambition of all of us to get there as soon as we can.� In France it takes a minimum six months for asylum seekers to get any benefits, but in the UK they get them straight away.

Is it any wonder that they risk everything to get into 'Soft Touch Britain'?

Wont change unless we start getting shot of the liberal luvvies in power. They represent a minority and force their blinkered pampered views on the rest. Same goes for the NHS, it is NHS not WHS but you wouldnt believe it from their actions.

Should have smeared you with the title of racist of course !!!
