Migrant smugglers shot in France

[rich85uk]

Apologies if this has been mentioned but i could not see anything in here but sounds like 4 people from a UK based British smuggling gang have been shot after a high speed chase through Belgium and France that caused 3 crashes and left 1 Dutch motorcyclist dead.

Details seem sketchy at the moment but it seems the gang armed with knifes were threatening lorry drivers to smuggle migrants when the police were called, gave chase and ended up opening fire (not clear if this was before or after the crashes)

Very serious indecent though and it had been suspected that UK based gangs were smuggling migrants from Dunkirk after the recent security measures in Calais

The 4 men were driving an Audi registered to the UK and are believed to be Iraqi nationals living in England

Horrendous for the biker involved, just a bit of bad timing, truly dreadful.

As for the smugglers, fk 'em, these people are the lowest of the low, many of them are cashing in on other peoples desperation, people who often find themselves living a life of near slavery once they reach their destination, just to line the pockets of bds like this lot.

I feel desperately sorry for the biker.

Zero sympathy for the others.

Worth mentioning that the alleged smugglers were Iraqis, possibly naturalised/UK passport holders but not 'British' in the way a casual reader might expect.

Also seems common to use British registered cars due to being more difficult to check their status.

It posses the question of how they got into the UK in the first place.
Dreadful for the poor biker, the more people smugglers who are "chastised" the bloody better - total scum.

You can't mention that they are of Iraqi origin, that's 'racist'.

They are as British as you or I.

Dark red Audi FL03WMF was the car.

I wonder if the, "slightly dubious" British registered trucks that loiter around the Calais area are linked in any way?

The fella from UKIP was threatened at gunpoint by some blokes in a British registered car wasn't he?

I'll see if I can find the link.

News report says that they are in a serious condition.

Is it wrong that I just hope they die?

[Huff]

Pop them in a sealed TEU for a week or so and see how they do meanwhile. Try them if they survive.

I don't know? But i'm with you. They ruin lives on a daily basis, scumbags.

At this stage we simply do not know, they could well be asylum seekers who applied legally years ago and are genuine UK passport holders etc who decided to become involved in people smuggling or on the other end of the scale we have Iraqi migrants with false documents etc who are making money through this trade which ultimately filers down to funding terrorism

It has been said for a while now that lorry drivers are at genuine risk from the migrant crisis to the point some haulage firms are considering providing security guards for each lorry, this may well be the incident that makes that option much more likely
