Jeez...bet his trousers needed changing after that. But he could have picked something a little less...obvious.

*X* - Crosses off another method of getting Katie here on the cheap...

wow if its true that he came down the CTRL at 186mph then I’m impressed, still if he doesn't qualify for asylum we should send him back at 550mph in a jet...

Maybe he qualifies for a place IN an asylum....

lol

He certainly was desperate to escape the French

Although perhaps with the French authorities shutting down 'The Jungle' (Immigration Centre) any chance to get through the tunnel is a good one.

He must have been really disappointed to have made such an effort to come here, then found out that the UK is cold and falling apart.

Does this now mean that Eurostar services will need to be extended to Croydon?

The way its going, they will all be trying to escape soon

No the way it is going WE will all be trying to escape soon.

The tax increases required to recover the glut of public debt at a sensible rate is quite frightening.

Isn't it dangerous to ride on the side of trains when they are going at high speeds?

What do you think....

In any event, that's not quite how it was - he was in between two of the carriages, not hanging off the side of one....

Still corners will pose a problem, as well as trying to hang on, and what if he needed the loo?

Erm, yes that would be a problem.

Well what do you think - he just goes on the spot. They are that desperate in a lot of cases to get here.

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.
