alchresearch   214 #37 Posted January 11, 2018 I think the real issue is that many of the businesses are ethnic owned hence the insinuations of money laundering. There may be a couple opened up for that purpose but you can't say all of them are at it. Would some people prefer it if the shops were shut and the business owners claimed benefits instead?  I'm surprised illegal immigrant workers hasn't been mentioned yet.

If they're good enough they then move on to property enterprises.  Within a one mile radius - i have 3 car valeters, 3 respray companies ,3 tyre fitting companies and 4 garages oh and don't forget the hand car wash Neither the valeters,car wash or respray guys take card payments. (and only one of them is run by any one of ethnicity) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
