Illegal immigrants found in truck

Seven suspected illegal immigrants have been found in a truck at Oxford logistics firm.

The six men and one woman were discovered in a truck at Unipart in Oxford Business Park, Cowley, at around 1.30pm today.

They were detained by police and due to be interviewed by immigration officers.

Police spokesman Vicky Brandon said it is believed all the detainees are from Ethiopia.

The driver was spoken to and his details were taken but he was not arrested, Mrs Brandon added.

The truck had arrived in Oxford from France.

They should be put in touch with Cllr Saj Malik who is going to be cabinet member of Oxford City tomorrow and was illegal immigrant himself, this Cllr will give them advice on how to get stay here and get involve in new labour politics, may be Lord Mayor of the future.

Oxford city is going to be run by labour and if they can take this Councillor as Cabinet member then there should be a well coming celebration of Illegal immigrants after Council meeting and Councillor M delivering a Speech on All Well Come.
