        @BBCBreaking I'm sure they'll be right as rain once you give them free housing and full benefits.

        @BBCBreaking they'll probably disappear into UK just as quickly :-/ Who loaded them into the container and where did this happen?

        @BBCBreaking let's hope they are thrown out of the country fairly quickly too. Probable already camped out side the benefits office.

        @BBCBreaking The first thing is to ensure their health and they are ok. The second thing is to put them on the next boat out of the UK.

        @BBCBreaking they will have paid a lot of money to be sealed into that container. Hopefully the survivors will at least live.

        @BBCBreaking no mention on potential #slavery, all they're interested in is illegal #immigration. I hope someone asks the right questions.
