Title: Haircut?
Post by: Ashy on August 12, 2022, 02:52:28 PM
One of my local Turkish barbers is now called "Organic Crops".

Farage on GB News was suggesting that there is a rash of new "Turkish" that are in fact Albanians and possibly just fronts for money laundering. I do recall being told by a shop owner (not a barber) that the Turkish barber that had just opened had managed to cut the ears of several customers. (That is of not off).

A young woman I know wanted to learning to be a barber, she asked of these so called Turkish barbers if he would take her on a teach her.  He told her no women in his country can't become barbers and he wouldn't take her on, but he is in Wales? what happened to equality? this is the sort of person you are letting in with totally different values to us.

I think Nigel may be onto something here though so many of these places springing up everywhere you go and they don't look very busy.

When such a horrible suggestion references 'Turkish Barbers' as Albanian money launderer's, its important to see it's veracity questioned. How good to see how places around the UK are however still creatively righting these glaring wrongs and lending a hand to balance things up, so we are seen as friendly hosts;

Also scary fake news continues, some are alleged to be arriving 'tooled up' :evil:

If only there was as much help for British people in need, makes me sick to my stomach the way they bend over backwards for these people, no wonder they keep coming day after day.

True Ashy, particularly when it's going on around us.
You made a good move Oy  :upvote:

There's a lot of it about concerning supposed Albanian crime. Even the national crime agency have been up to it recently. They should be ashamed of themselves making this stuff up.

I looked at the four men charged after cash and cocaine seizures..

Does anyone else think how much cocaine resembles sugar coated nougat..?

I hadn't looked at the picture but it does look odd for sure. A google image search shows it is correct though and probably not a bag of sugar coated nougat they used for the article. As one nickname is Bolivian marching powder I suspect most end users never see it in that form only crushed up.

Apparently the fake company scammers are Romanian & Albanian criminal gangs.
