How long before someone is hurt ?
Two practical Physical Solutions....
1) Place the locking door handles at the top of the trailer doors, so you need a ladder to open them, and use high security padlocks.....
Of course, canvas sided vehicles need something else
2) have very loud music or air horns blasting away in the trailer !!!
There must be more others can thing of.....
Apart from an effective French police action !

How many of the trucks will have their cargo of food rejected, I suspect many.

Going back to Sangatte camp days one saw crowds heading towards Eurotunnel on other side of armco,
I see that they catch a few motorists every month trying to bring people past Border Force in boot on their car.
I guess Henry V111 was right and we should have kept Calais

We still have too many of those Norman illegals in the country after they landed at Hastings.

I recall a tv program showing lorries passing through one of these systems and no matter what the cargo was it could easily show if anyone was inside.
Seems easier to get in than out of the country, turn up at the airport with no passport and see how far you get.

Common sense to have these things on the other side of the channel.

They buy them in France......
The media handwringers play a big part in al this. Apparently most of the "children" are well over 20 and more than capable of taking responsibility for their own situations although there are undoubted benefits to be funded by UK taxpayers.
