CALAIS, 1st November 2009 - The corpse of an illegal migrant who was desperate to get to Britain was today found in the back of a lorry preparing to enter the Channel Tunnel. French Immigration Minister Eric Besson said the grim discovery highlighted the 'insane risks' which foreigners are taking to get to the UK so that they can claim asylum or disappear into the black economy. Mr Besson said he was certain that the unnamed man had paid a people smuggler hundreds of pounds for a quick passage to his 'Eldorado'. Instead the migrant got an airless, cramped compartment in an HGV which ultimately cost him his life.
