Discovery of 39 bodies in a refrigerated lorry trailer in Essex

This is a bit grim... Just trying to find a better life...

Shortly after 1.10am, CCTV cameras at an industrial estate in Essex captured a lorry travelling past shortly after its container unit had been brought ashore at nearby Purfleet Docks.

Some 30 minutes later, a call was made to Essex Ambulance Service alerting them to a grim discovery.

When paramedics opened the lorry’s doors at Waterglade Industrial Park, Grays, they found the bodies of 38 adults and one teenager, thought to be migrants.

The details of the fateful journey made by the Scania lorry in which their corpses were found emerged last night, as it was revealed it had been on British soil for just an hour and 10 minutes before its human cargo was discovered.

It is now thought the man who alerted the emergency services was the driver of the vehicle, named locally as Mo Robinson, who appears to have called the ambulance service after he opened the lorry’s rear doors on arriving in Grays yesterday.

"All 39 people found dead in a lorry container at an Essex industrial estate were Chinese nationals, Sky News understands."

Legal and illegal immigration is a symptom of the much larger problems such as persecution, endless wars and corruption. We are turning out to be a world that addresses only the symptoms and not the core problems. People do not need wealth to be happy and most people do not want to leave their home countries they just need ability to live their lives crime and corruption-free in peace. I truly understand the illegal immigration problem and I was extremely grateful when Trump said he would get the USA out of Syria. I was amazed when he linked the wars to the endless immigration problems caused by well-established politicians and corporate entities feeding off these endless wars. He has a much better grasp of the true problem then I was giving him credit for.

Every time I see protest around the world I feel it is a waste of effort. I feel like we are applying a bandage to an amputated limb. We should be protesting and demanding change for people on a global scale against corruption, crime and war.

Just as a sideline issue we should stop electing one man or woman to run any country in the world. We should be looking at small groups (4-5 people only) of elders that are at least 65 years old that serve a three or four-year term only.
