A few years ago a friend of mine who works for a freight forwarding company had first hand experience of this. They had a container come back from Croatia supposedly only containing packaging for reuse on the next shipment. The driver(s) brought it all the way from Croatia and sat out a 2 day delay at Calais. Then when they pitched up back in the yard the container was offloaded and put in the pile waiting it's next load. A day later workers heard faint hammering from the container and found 3 people inside and an indescribable smell / sight. It was all hushed up since the European elections were due within a week so they didn't want to hand the BNP guys extra ammunition. I think they just deported the guys back to Croatia.
I don't want to divert this into a political debate but it does show how desperate some people are to reach this country.
