What is the likelihood that these migrants will become loyal, stable, productive members of British society?
“Border force discovers migrants in onion lorries at Port of Poole,” Dorset Echo, September 30, 2018:
THE discovery of more than 20 migrants in vehicles at the Port of Poole during two separate incidents resulted in 47,000kg of onions being surrendered and destroyed.
Officers from Borough of Poole were forced to dispose of the large quantity of the onion as the goods had been “contaminated during transit”.
The migrants, who were discovered by Border Force staff, identified themselves as Albanian, Iranian, Iraqi and Afghan and were found hidden in the lorries.
The first seizure involved a consignment of 23,000kg entering on a vehicle via the Port of Poole while the more recent case contained a vehicle containing a 24,000kg load.
Borough of Poole said the items had to be disposed of to prevent any contaminated goods from coming into contact with the public.
It is estimated the overall cost of the onions in high street supermarkets is more than £35,000….

An invasion some would say,but no crying matter.
mortimer says
No pit stops for those buried in the onions in the hold of the ship. Yuck.
Muslims are desperate to get out of DYSFUNCTIONAL Islamic countries.
Peggy says
No, they are desperate to create more dysfunctional Islamic countries.
Those onions shouldn’t have been destroyed. They could make lovely salad for all the Muslim prisoners.
Fred says
Send the onions to the Greek island camps. Will make great Muslim stew.

Because he’s Muslim. I will never buy that product and am spreading the word that the owner of that business is a Muslim.

Same here, Peggy.

Why are most of the refugees today coming from MUSLIM COUNTRIES ??? What could it be in Islam that creates dangerous and dysfunctional countries. Why would Muslims want to go Christian countries if Islam is working out well?
They don’t want to stay in Islamic countries. Don’t Muslims understand the implications of that?
James Lincoln says
Mortimer,
I think that it’s more basic….
Muslims are only happy when they are able to make non-Muslims unhappy.
When the number of non-Muslims in a country diminishes, it causes a shortage of non-Muslims to make unhappy.
The Muslims then again become unhappy.
Paul says
Apart from adhering to the cancerous concept of ‘hijra’, Mohammedans
believe that they have a duty to spread their perfect and precious disease
everywhere, even though they are fully aware of the fact that it’s the precise
reason why their own countries of origin are such unbearable shitholes.
This contradiction, like so many others in their cult, just convinces them
even more that it’s a noble cause and makes them absurdly proud of it.
When wars break out in earnest with these subhumans there’ll be no more
reasoning with them as there is with blood thirsty zombies banging at
your door in some horror film – and they’ll have to be dealt with in the
exact same way…

Mortimer: Muslums blame the dysfunction of their countries on “American imperialism” & the Jews.
R Russell says
The smell of the onions would have been insufferable to most people. We need to think out of the box to deal with these people. If the onions are going to be dumped, why not take the lorry back to France with lorries and onions still on board and dump the lot there. We could compensate the driver for his trouble and have a fight with Macron.
He needs to be held responsible for allowing illegals to enter UK lorries on French soil.
Roll on Brexit
R Russell says
Sorry that should be migrants and onions still on board
Phil Copson says
Evidently the French authorities aren’t bothering to do the basics to check lorries for hidden migrants – it could be that the scent of onions might confuse a sniffer-dog, and that’s why the migrants chose this load to hide in – but that wouldn’t fool body-heat scanners, or gas analysers looking for people breathing.
Infra-red scanners for detecting heat are as cheap as chips these days – they’re the kind of thing that any mechanic or plumber/heating engineer etc has for detecting hot-spots or blockages in cooling and heating systems.
If the French authorities don’t detect and detain them, it’s because they don’t want to and are complicit in the human-trafficking trade to the UK.
Off-topic but relevant: the cynicism of some Continental countries is boundless – remember the CJD/”Mad Cow Disease” episode ? the detection rate for this was was far lower on the Continent than it was in Britain, even where animals had originally come from the same herd, and so must have had the same incidence of the disease.
In France, the “authorities” deliberately carried on using blood supplies known to be infected with HIV because it would have cost money to screen and replace the stocks with donations from non-infected blood donors. I forget the figure of those innocent hospital patients who were recklessly infected, but I believe it have been in the thousands.
If the governments don’t care about simple, easy-to-fix things such as infected meat and contaminated blood, then they certainly won’t do anything that requires effort and risks unpopularity in the press, such as defending the population from the imposition of mohammedanism.
MikeR says
I had to think about this for about half a second before I realized why the onions had to be destroyed.
They smelled like muslims.
gravenimage says
No longer safe to eat.
But if these Muslims had not been caught, no doubt these onions would have been sold as usual. Of course, the load of Muslims is much more dangerous.
Peggy says
We could call them weaponized onions. Imagine the stench.

They had to pee somewhere during the trip. EEEwwwe ick!

…Muslim migrants discovered hiding in delivery trucks
Ya can’t blame them for wanting to get in so badly, the word is out, kids for raping, welfare galore, a PC government that hates their own people on their behalf, it’s like they died and went to heaven and got their virgins, a.k.a., “our kids.” I know it’s not a joking matter, but I can’t resist the sarcasm, it’s so frustrating. It’s like everything we hold dear–our families, our neighborhoods, our security, our culture and pride–are getting trashed for a religion that seems little different from Nazism with its cruelty and supremacist intent. It’s not that I’m a xenophobe who’s afraid of change. It’s more that I can’t accept the ideology that muslims are bringing in, it’s inspiring a world of death and suffering for immoral reasons. Every mosque is a breeding ground for doctrines that threaten all aspects of our existence–our laws, our freedoms, and our lives. These illegal immigrants don’t inspire compassion in me, they’re just more of what we don’t need. I’m sure many of them are good and decent people, but for who? Us? No. In the end they’ll be good for islam, because allah an muhammad are the center of their universe. They’ll always spin around that center, getting closer and closer in solidarity as the need arises. Their numbers will increase, their vote will strengthen, and they will destroy us completely. That’s why I don’t want muslims or islam in my nation, because they will destroy it if we let them, and I know this beyond all doubt.
Peggy says
Invasion by onion.

“Quebec elects CAQ majority government”
Legault (CAQ leader) has called for a decrease in immigration levels from 50,000 per year to 40,000 per year. Election after election we will see the whole world slowly shifting from the Left to the Right, from Globalism to anti-Globalism.

Still *way* too high, Flavius–but any calls for fewer Muslims flooding into the West is a good thing, Thanks for the link.
Bee says
So, if the onions are considered unfit for consumption because of migrants hiding among them, it must be that the migrants are also considered to be contaminated, so why let them in?
MoInTheKnow says
Shouldn’t it be the muslims that should be destroyed rather than the onions.
At least onions are useful ‘
Peggy says
Too bad they weren’t transporting garlic. There wouldn’t be one Muslim left.
Stanley Sandler says
Mr. Copson writes about the blood scandal in France of a few years back. I remember a book by a UK leftist “The Gift Relationship” that extolled the European concept of giving blood, compared to those vulgar Americans who can sell their blood. Well, there’s never been a blood scandal in the USA; a multitude of lawyers (or would that be “a plague of lawyers”?) would put the evil blood firms out of business and their executives behind bars.
Valkyrie Ziege says
; The odor of the Jihadis ruined the onions.
