Where is the source that confirms that MR was pulling for C Hughes and it was his truck? Are we going off the presumption that because C Hughes trucks are red, red/white Scania’s and Ronan Hughes are blue Scania’s that the S series MR was driving was CH’s?

Strange that the other units displayed a Hughes name in some format!! Said unit was left un named even though they had it for a good bit,

I didn’t think it had been stated who owns the truck MR drove. It was said that RH owned the truck that EH drove, and that the Mahers had sold the truck that MR drove. But not who bought it.

MR seems to imply on his Facebook page that it is his own truck. He was certainly very proud of it.

A spokeswoman for the Home Office told the BBC: “Broadcasting this programme so soon after the tragic incident at Grays is both insensitive and irresponsible.”

She added: “Organised crime gangs have no respect for human life so it is reckless to provide a platform for the illegal activity that they facilitate.

“Doing so can encourage them to exploit our border for profit, risking the lives of vulnerable, desperate people as they do so.”

Is it odd that the camera systems which check how long you have parked in a car park .. and how much you owe .. seem to be so efficient? And yet those checking trucks and trailers in and out of "secure compounds" seem to be rather more vague?

Is Offering of food any more ‘strange’ than lighting candles or the use of bread and wine in Christian rituals? Or leaving stuffed toys at roadside shrines? Or throwing rice at newlyweds? People grieve how they grieve.

Politicians in the UK have spent an enormous amount of time in recent memory announcing that they (and they alone) intend "taking back control"

One is tempted to ask, in this specific case, how their proposals would have affected the outcome?

Interesting to see the language used in the reports ... 15 rescued.... vs .... 15 found

Police rescue 15 people from the back of a lorry near Chippenham

It is understood the truck in question belongs to a transport company based in Cork.

To be fair it is possible that it is on a reasonable route from Dover to Holyhead where the ferries to Dublin go from. The route from Calais to Dover is 100% sea water.

The reports of knocking...it could also be that the driver stopped to let them out and another driver stopped to see if he could help a lorry in a lay-by and so the knocking explanation emerged.... but it does seem to have been lorry drivers that raised the emergency services.

Didn't the trailer used in the Essex case stop in the Cotswolds on it's way to it's first channel channel crossing? Or was it MR's lorry? One of the early reports said there was a stop in the Cotswolds and Warwick (shire)?
