Oh dear - that will certainly set the cat amongst the pidgeons and I'm sure it will give rise to much wailing and gnashing of teeth about how dreadfully unfair life is and how evil everyone is at the British Consulate. After all, you can't help who you fall in love with, can you?
Hayley, you are entitled to your opinion but I do not agree with you.
You may think that Turkish/Kurdish people are on the whole hardworking and maybe they are but, in my personal experience, eastern Europen EU immigrants are too. Like Turkish/Kurdish immigrants, they know that if they're prepared to put the hours and work in, they can earn a lot more here than they can in their own countries. And for most, that's the only attraction in coming here.
Many, many Turkish/Kurdish immigrants in the UK work in the black economy and so do not contribute through tax and NI. They send vast amounts of money back home to Turkey too. Mr Guveclover knows many who do this and could tell you lots of stories about the schenanegans of such people and how they contrive to get here and milk as much as they can out of the British economy and contribute as little as they can to it.
Turkish men who have come here on their own at first, via people traffickers they've paid, and claimed to be Kurdish simply to make a bogus asylum claim. When their asylum claims have been granted, little by little they've brought their wives and children over too. They've been allocated council houses and the men have gone on to set up extremely lucrative takeaway businesses, in which they put only a fraction of their turnover through the till to avoid paying their dues. Staff are all paid cash in hand, of course. Then they've bought their council houses in north London for peanuts and rented them out for vast sums, have moved to other areas of the country and then put themselves on the council list all over again.
One man he knows owns a well established takeaway and is a silent partner in a few others. This man's wiley ducking and diving over the years has afforded him several blocks of flats and shops in his home town in Turkey. All of which he rents out for a tidy sum. He has four daughters, who have been brought up here and have British passports. They're of marriageable age now and he's making sure that each one marries a kinsman from his home town and each new son in law in turn gets brought over here to be installed somewhere in his kebab empire - naturally, all paid cash in hand. They'll learn the ropes and all the scams under his tutelage and then they'll eventually branch out on their own, and so the cycle will continue.
Many Turks/Kurds who come to settle here legally also jump straight into lives with women who claim benefits so they too benefit from them in a roundabout way, although they may not claim in their own names. Those men will not have paid anything into the system, although they might go on to.
If EU immigrants who settle and work in this country are
legally entitled to claim benefits and do so, are they doing anything wrong - really? My position is that we should not blame them but instead blame the
system that allows them to do it. As I understand it, Britain is the only European country that allows such things to happen.
This country is a soft touch in so many ways and, to be fair, immigrants of all creeds see it as such and take advantage of it.
Tar them all with the same brush if you like but please, don't put Turks/Kurds up on a pedestal above all the rest.
