Port of London - (Desperado Mess): Immigration police are probing a people-smuggling racket that found twenty Mexican asylum seekers hiding in ex-Prime Monster Tony Blair's new bullet-proof Hummer as it was being delivered from an American customising garage in Bogota to his new London home in Barking.
According to Border Controls officers the men leapt from the back of the car transporter delivering the new motor as security staff opened the vehicle in a police compound near Belmarsh Jail.
"The men at first claimed to be special protection officers testing the vehicle's special customised features," a police officer commented today.
"But something about them made us suspicious.
"Maybe it was the sombreros, or the handle-bar mustaches.
"Or even the pungent smell of herbal intoxicants still smouldering in the ashtray in the back of the Hummer.
"Probably a combination of all three factors."
The Hummer was later stripped down by Border Control mechanics and a reported 100 packages of an unidentified white powder confiscated.
Tony Blair has denied all responsibility for the freight arrangements.
