Border police at IJmuiden port have found 16 people hiding in the back of a lorry including four children.

The 11 men, one woman and four youngsters, one said to be clutching a teddy bear, were found in the lorry on Wednesday and removed as locals and port workers watched.

‘I have never seen anything like it, it is so sad this is happening,’ one eyewitness told local news website NH Nieuws.

The driver of the lorry, a 45-year-old Turkish national, has been arrested on suspicion of human trafficking. The group of stowaways had different nationalities, NH Nieuws said.

The lorry had been due to take the daily crossing to Newcastle. Some 50 people have been caught trying to make that journey this year.

Won't be long before they have to check every lorry at the border. Imagine the delays!

We're led to believe that this is such an horrible, selfish, intolerant place. It makes me wonder why people would risk their lives trying to get here.

Because on a sliding scale the UK is considerably less corrupt and intolerance is only really overt in nasty little burbs and the media.
