A gang of illegal immigrants have been caught trying to flee the United Kingdom over fears about how they will be treated after Brexit. The 33 runaways were found on Monday hiding in a lorry in Calais, France by shocked border force guards after clambering aboard at Dover. Ordinarily, illegal immigrants are caught trying to get into the UK - and on Friday last week a record 102 migrants attempted to cross the English Channel. But in this 'highly unusual' move, these illegal immigrants were desperate to leave the UK as 'they were worried their rights would be curtailed' after Brexit. Five inflatable boats carrying individuals claiming to be from Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Syria were picked up by Border Force on Friday.
