So the border police claim to have found the stowaway and then went ‘that’s not my problem’?

And then “punish” the motorhome owners for negligence. No negligence fines for the Border Force missing then and/or inquiry about straight up lying about finding the stowaway later on?
lol, you couldn’t make it up. Surely there’s a police report stating that the couple phoned it in and is in black and white.

All this policy will do is encourage people not to report stowaways. Totally bonkers.

Bizarre that the article doesn’t address the reasons why the boy wanted to come to the UK. As per usual.

Because that’s not the focus of the article, it’s specifically about the policy of fining people who report stowaways.

They went to the trouble of explaining the age of the boy and where he was from and by your logic those bits of information aren’t the focus of the article either.
You’re just guessing, you don’t know. We can all make guesses.

That’s some major bullshit right there. Utter idiocy issuing them with a fine.

Oh no, JD Vance is going to use this in his next speech to promote European fascism.

Enquiring minds need to know, was the stowaway called Gary?

Should have just let him go on his way. Don’t report anything to the police, especially if it involves foreigners as you will likely be the one in the shit.

If you see someone trying to do this - you didn’t.
You will never be rewarded for selling out other humans but they will almost certainly be punished.
