In a revealing video showing the plight of the British truck drivers who routinely run the gauntlet trying to avoid illegally trafficking migrants into the United Kingdom, BBC host Victoria Derbyshire engages in a public relations effort on behalf of the Calais migrants that break into trucks and attempt to make passage into Britain. The 12 minute-long video follows Derbyshire and her trucker hosts as she tries to convince them that African migrants breaking into their trucks and trying to force their way into Britain illegally are only trying to “flee war” and “get to safety” – ignoring the fact that once the would-be stowaways are in Calais, France, they have already escaped the conflicts they may be fleeing from.
