People Trafficker alive and well running a vape shop in sunny Leicestershire ...

I'll bet he's still free as we speak.

Are tories supposed to be fans of illegals now?

They ushered plenty in.

True

At least he amongst his own now.

You'd think it was 1.01 he'd have had a visit from authorities today
wouldn't you, but I very much doubt he has. Fatigue is growing and the
government will need to keep up with the pace, well done BBC.

If he has any sense and less arrogance he would flee the country PDQ.

This is the same journalist who broke the "vape shops are criminal gangs" story a couple of months back and police arrested several people a week or so after her report on that.

I expect the same will happen to him and some of his mates.

Bonkers stuff.....just shows how fecked up the UK is......tweet some hurty words and get jailed or at least a visit off the Gestapo but smuggle and illegally live in a country and get welcomed with open arms.....all arse backwards

It's telling that even the BBC seems to have changed tack on such issues now and is exposing these illegals, belatedly it has to be said but well done nonetheless.

No comments from the progressives on here yet ?

Yeah, have to hope they've tipped off the plod rather than go for a big exclusive cos that guy is surely on his toes if he is who they think he is.

Absolutely shocking! The UK is broken. The judiciary cannot do anything because the UK government are unwilling or not forthcoming to bring this scum to justice. So many foreign scums have absconded whilst waiting to be sentenced after having been convicted.

The council have closed the smuggler's shops for 72 hours, and will have to jump through
legal hoops and apply for a 3 month closure on Monday, no reports of an arrest.

There must be a whole lot of illegals in that area as he was caught off camera saying he is very safe there, amongst a lot of his own. !!

£1m in cash confiscated was reported. No mention of the composition of people behind it though.

Its very good news that the BBC are actually doing some proper reporting on these problems instead of just promoting diversity all the time. Its a long overdue realisation that normal people are fed up of the ongoing abuse of this country by total scumbags like this bloke. Its part of the reason behind the success of Reform that the population just feels that their legitimate concerns are just ignored.
We need more of this reporting and then some action from the Authorities to deal with the ongoing abuses and then people might start to trust the mainstream parties actually do have the interests at heart and the Far Right can then return to the fringes of society
