About this episode

This episode discusses the tragic case of the Vietnamese 39 lorry deaths and the evils of people smuggling.

This episode is brought to you by Carrie. This is the case of the poor souls who set out on a voyage from the continent to the UK for a better life back in October 2019 and didn't make it alive. In fact their transport became their tomb. This was a case that shocked and horrified the country, and brought to our attention the evil of the people smugglers and the callous nature of their wicked trade. How they prey on the hopes and dreams of innocent people with little regard for health or safety, and how easily people can suffocate to death on the treacherous journey. Support the show!
