Horrific news

My above post was to GabriellaG54.

Poor souls. I cant imagine the squalid conditions.

Well, then it would seem to know nothing in regard to how the road transport industry operates.

You seem only interested in having arguments with other forum members on a thread that was started in remembrance of those who so tragically lost their lives in this most horrific incident.

Gabriel isn't a very appropriate abbreviation anyway!

I never knew that we were in a clique Grandad1943!
Could be an exciting new venture for both of us

be by me by

Grandad1943 I'm not interested in your lectures.
I know what I know and it's more than enough to get be by in this life.
Once I saw it was addressed to me I stopped reading.
No more...thank you very much, I'm not interested in what you have to say.

?????. Please try explaining your above post???????

Same old clique, same old covering each others backs. Echo park.

GabriellaG54 in regard to your post @19:21 today, trailers travelling anywhere have the goods checked at the loading point and then the vehicle is sealed either with a physical metal seal or on a digital seal.

Those seals must not be broken until the vehicle arrives on a loading dock, as the case would have to be with a refrigerated trailer.

The above begs the question with this incident, why would the driver have broken the seal at that hour of the morning when he was not even on a loading dock and there was no one else present to check the seal number against the loading/delivery sheet.

The above just does not add up, along with much more in the driver's actions of that night and the previous day(s).

YOU may not see a problem but it's not your name being shortened, it's mine and I do not like it abbreviated.
Your thoughts on the matter are irrelevant.

Well, I do not like my real name abbreviated.
Is it your choice and I have no say in the matter?
Because ' everybody here does it', does that mean I have to follow suit?
Do you make the rules?
I think it's incredibly rude.
Can't be r'sd to type two more letters.
Tell me...if a friend, aquaintance or colleague gave their name when you first met and you shortened it, would you refuse to call them their given name even after they asked you not to umpteen times?
That just shows the level of your thinking.
If you were on fire...you can fill in the rest.

Nobody likes snitches, especially those who take the word and wink of a third party without knowing that it's fact, not hearsay.

Gabriel was/is an angel!

Everyone abbreviates names on here, Gabriella

I don't see a problem.

Even by your standards G, your posts are very, very low.

dimwits?

Let’s blame the victims for not being “westerners”.

.. and would it kill you to type two more characters.
My proper name.
You're incredibly rude.

petra well done, I think we all need to be more aware and not just turn a blind eye.

gabriel do you have to practice hard to be so nasty or does it come naturally

That message was just heart-rending, Bluebelle.

I just keep wondering just how far the £30,000 their families paid to these traffickers would have gone to help set them up in a business, get a better education, in Vietnam.

I do hope the message gets through back in their home countries.

So, so sad.

Make sure your halo is straight when you make that call.

I do wonder how not one of the poor 39 people realised that there would be no air inside the sealed container.

I heard on the news earlier that the parents of one poor girl paid over £30,000 to secure her passage here in that death trap.

Heartbreaking.

Why not read previous posts before typing...eh? Just above your comments I have written that the driver exited his vehicle to retrieve paperwork which was in a folder inside the cab door
He must have been going to check contents against the papers and that is when he found them after opening the rear doors. It's not disputed that it was he who phone the emergency services.
