Explains all the barbers, vape, phone case and car wash fronts.

I can’t believe this! I thought everyone was just buying 15 phone cases a day!

This can’t be right. Those vape and barbers shops are absolutely not involved in money laundering, tax avoidance and organised crime. Shame on you BBC.

Why does this require a BBC investigation? Well done to the journalists. But where are the police in all this?

There is no cost of living crisis. The crisis is where our money goes.
And for that, the Government needs to be held accountable.

Can we please just close them all down already. Make every single one of them re-apply for a licence and thoroughly review the background of each applicant.

Ban those firms from functioning. They are fucking up our society.

Then charge them as smuggling and trying to essentially have slaves.

Kinda bizarre that we have the National Crime Agency (NCA), Regional Organised Crime Units (ROCUs), hell, we even have MI5, but nothing is being done about this. It’s taken a journalist to expose the shady practices that’s going on in this country.

People are always knocking the BBC, but their investitive journalism seems to do more to expose things than the police

Can we just reboot the UK and start from scratch at this point please.

Do people really think that the police are “scared” of organised crime?
Is it not just more likely that they are chronically underfunded and understaffed?

This is why I’m watching Restore / Great Yarmouth First with interest.
Their first act was to trigger an investigation into all the Turkish barbers, phone and vape shops in Great Yarmouth.
If it’s a legitimate business they have nothing to worry about.

Is this another one of those ‘everyone saying this is just racist’ things that, once proven to the true, become ‘ok, so it was true, but they were still just big racists’.
“Muslim ray guns”.
Anyway, probably best that we just ignore this, keep our heads down, and trundle along.

And if any of these shop workers are immigrants they should instantly be deported for helping their mates come here illegally at the expense of the UK tax payer

What I find annoying is if you raised this issue a year or two ago, you were met with the same response; you were either imagining it or you were a racist.
And just like with the other recent exposé on fraud in the asylum system by the BBC (based on claims of homosexuality and domestic abuse), when the truth comes out, people just find another hole to bury their head in.

The solicitors who provide ‘specialist’ immigration services should also be investigated. There is a huge industry behind this.

So does the UK Police and NCA actually function or are they complicit too?

Take everything they own, lock them up in prison for 5 years and deport any who have citizenship elsewhere.

There are loads of great examples of them acting on organised crime.
