TANKER STOWAWAYS

08.02.08, 9:08pm

Hospitals, ambulances, paramedic cars, police, public delayed going about their jobs,cost to business, it is just never ending cost of these stoways from East Africa, how many EU countries have they crossed to get here, but still the govt. says we are not a soft touch. This pathetic govt. should now impose fines of £5,000 per stowaway on the driver or owner of the vehicle, with confiscation on failure to pay as this is what would have happened to a BRITISH driver if he commited the offence, even if it meant putting business and drivers out of work. I would hazard a guess as to what will happen next....the stowaways will be granted stay because of their human rights, be fed and housed, give benefits and allowed their families to come over with them(human rights) all at tax payer cost, and allowed to vote in local elections. As for the driver of the vehicle he will plead ignorance(does not work for Brit drivers)be allowed to unload and return to his base in the EU at no cost. Please can the Express keep us readers advised of what happens in this case so we can see what does happen once the govt. machine gets into gear.
