The 24-year-old, who calls himself Jimmy Korbi (pictured left), is among 150 of his countrymen living in tents on a cliff overlooking the port of Dieppe in northern France (right and inset). It emerged last night that he and many of the others had climbed aboard lorries bound for Britain two years ago. Once here, they worked in construction jobs on the black market before being caught by immigration officials. They were then deported back to Albania on flights funded by the taxpayer. But in a classic example of the immigration merry-go-round, they simply returned to the French coast by coach or lorry weeks later and are trying to sneak back into the UK again. The migrants say they are targeting smaller ports such as Dieppe and Cherbourg because the security around Calais has been beefed up in recent months.
Traffickers' £3,000 eBay boat: Gang who smuggled 18 Albanians across Channel bought inflatable online just four days earlier (before charging £8,000 each for trip!)
Five men went to a private seller's home in the New Forest, Hampshire, last week and paid £3,000 in cash for the inflatable craft called Antares (pictured main on eBay and top right). They told the owner that they wanted the speedboat - which is a type once popular with the Royal Navy for anti-piracy missions - for fishing trips. But four days later it was found abandoned on the beach at Dymchurch in Kent, after a botched attempt to bring 18 Albanian migrants into the country. On Sunday morning, the boat was seized by Border Force officials and taken away for examination. It is now suspected of being involved in the smuggling operation bringing migrants across the Channel, which has triggered a crisis over Britain's border security. Days after being purchased the boat was seen on CCTV being towed in Dymchurch (bottom right).
How we lost the plot on immigration: As a one-legged Albanian drug dealing murderer gets citizenship, benefits and a home, two utterly decent and hardworking families face being expelled
The Zielsdorfs and their children face deportation to Canada, (pictured left) while Australians Greg and Kathryn Brain and son Lachlan (pictured right) fell foul of altered immigration rules - despite being invited to the UK. But a one-legged Albanian drug dealing double murderer (inset) gets citizenship, a lovely house, £500 a week benefits and legal aid to use Human Rights to fight deportation. Two utterly decent families from kith and kin nations which fought for us in the war are being expelled...

'It's like Wolf Hall without all the words and thinking!' BBC's saucy period drama Versailles gets viewers hot under the collar (for the lousy acting as much as all the sex)
The BBC's racy period drama Versailles has been panned by viewers who called its writing 'lousy' and the acting 'wooden'. The programme about France's Sun King Louis XIV on BBC2 tonight shocked viewers with its seven sex scenes including frontal nudity and even a dwarf inside the Queen's skirt. But the script failed to live up to expectations with many saying the dialogue ruined the enchanting scenery and stunning costumes.
Former grammar school boy faces 22 life sentences after he is named as one of Britain's worst ever paedophiles for abusing hundreds of children in south-east Asia and awarding himself 'PedoPoints' for attacks
Richard Huckle, originally from Ashford, Kent, targeted an impoverished Christian community in Malaysia where he posed as a student, photographer and English teacher to groom his victims. Huckle awarded himself 'PedoPoints' for carrying out the attacks and used a paedophile crowdfunding website to finance the abuse, which he then wrote about online (inset). The case can be reported for the first time after Judge Peter Rook QC lifted reporting restrictions today at the start of a three day sentencing hearing.
The City's first IOU! 2,000-year-old letters reveal daily life, trade and debts in Roman London
Buried under 20ft of mud for nearly 2,000 years, these simple Roman wooden tablets are the earliest handwritten documents ever found in Britain. Among more than 400 unearthed by archaeologists, they include the first known reference to London - and the first IOU. They were found beneath a pub in the City during work on financial news company Bloomberg's new European headquarters near Bank Tube station. Most of the documents, written in wax on a folding wooden frame, date from between AD55 and 85. They were dumped by the Romans on the banks of the River Walbrook. There, the mud prevented air getting to the wood, stopping it from rotting.

He said: 'If it was concrete it would have been a different story but the fact there was mud probably helped.'
Holidaymaker is distraught when his new passport arrives with photo making him look exactly like HITLER

A week later his document arrived but the reproduced photograph gave Mr Boyd a menacing toothbrush moustache, famously sported by the Nazi leader. The 50-year-old was so upset that he complained to passport officers who are now investigating. Mr Boyd, a former paramedic who now works in public transport, said: 'I was really angry when I saw it. I was distraught, really.'

Suspected extremist Muhiddin Mire (inset) 'lunged at passengers with a knife' (pictured left) after they bravely confronted him for allegedly trying to behead a musician in a busy London Tube station. Moments later the 30-year-old was repeatedly Tasered by police (middle and right) and photos found of Jihadi John and murdered soldier Lee Rigby on his phone, a court heard today. He had cut the throat of Lyle Zimmerman three days after the House of Commons debate on the bombing of ISIS in Syria, jurors at his attempted murder trial were told. Mire, who has a history of mental illness, was allegedly 'motivated by revenge' for the air strikes by the UK and coalition forces and was heard shouting: 'This is for my Syrian brothers'. Prosecutors say he also tried to stab four other commuters during the attack at Leytonstone tube station in east London.
Revealed, the real pub bombers: As a coroner orders the Birmingham inquests to be reopened, families demand killers are brought to justice now
Grieving families of the 21 killed in the Birmingham pub bombings yesterday demanded their IRA killers be brought to justice at last. As a coroner dramatically reopened inquests into the 1974 atrocity - and said police may have missed two chances to prevent it - victims' relatives, such as Julie Hambleton (pictured right) called for an end to the 42-year injustice. Four IRA men, including alleged bombmaker Michael Murray (top left) have been named as the real perpetrators of the bombings (illustrated) - yet were seemingly allowed to go unpunished.

For that money you'd hope they'd paint it! Aston Martin prototype set to sell for £1MILLION - even though it's a rusting wreck that hasn't been driven in decades
An Aston Martin which hasn't been driven in decades because of its rusty engine and cobweb-covered interior is going under the hammer - and is set to fetch almost £1million. The Aston Martin DB2 is thought to be 'extremely significant' after playing a huge role in the company's history even though it has been left in a garden for years.
But 67 years ago it was a stunning prototype sports car which was parked up at Circuit de la Sarthe in France waiting to be driven in the 1949 Le Mans 24-hour race.The British race car, known by its registration plate UMC 65, ended up finishing seventh in the race and third in its category.

Several areas in Paris were under red alert as the Seine burst its banks in several places (left inset) after four days of almost non-stop rain caused severe flooding in the central Loire Valley area and southeast of the French capital.
