I’m Turkish and these conversations don’t happen. I can bet on my entire being that Allison didn’t have several conversations with Turks mocking the UK system. Totally dishonest. We are terrified of European & UK border “security”. Numbers of Turks crossing will corroborate.
I’ve had conversations in Turkey where they joke about getting to England across the Channel as “refugees”. They go and work for Uncle Huseyin in Seven Sisters kebab shop. They think UK border security is hilarious. They know they won’t be sent back. A few thousand to people…
Oh wow, looking forward to this!

The British government wants to stop migrant care workers from bringing dependants to the UK — “please come and care, but not for your families”
Firstly, we’re reforming the Health and Social Care Visa to prevent overseas care workers from bringing dependants to the UK. And we’re requiring social care firms in England to be CQC registered to sponsor visas, putting an end to abuse of the system.
