And the daft buggers here are trying to stop them from going . The way I see it the more that go out there and get killed the less we have to worry about.

I'd be happy to see taxpayer funded one way tickets to Turkey

Another country I won't go to. Greek Islands but not Turkey.

The US have really stepped up the bombing raids. They did not want to bomb inside the cities, but that rule has been dropped now.

Well only murder committed in Harrogate in the last 3 months was by a knife wielding turkish taxi driver! They are such a stressed out bunch, always angry when they talk shouting and waving hands in air. I think it's in their dna.

We have a big community of them in Haringay, I dont know how they were allowed to settle as not all of them are Cypriot.
One guy who works in a suppliers, cant go home to visit his Mum as he has been called up for the army, or he has the choice of paying something around the £2000 mark to become a non serving officer.
Funny you should say that Les, he seems stressed out...

So, true to form we're the dumping ground for the rejects and troublemakers of other countries.

I've always found the Turks to be the friendliest out of all Europeans, well maybe apart from those Scottish buggers and the Irish

Talking to them,they think is perfectly acceptable to routinely carry a knife
You only have to look a the the Welcome to heel placards when English teams play Galatasary-flares chucked everywhere.
Still a nation stuck in the mast-any idea what religion they follow
Part of Asia-leave em there.

But us English fans aren't exactly shrinking violets when it comes to football. I've been to Turkey and I prefer it to a country like Spain.

I'd frankly be more worried about Albania or (shudder) Kosovo joining the EU than Turkey. If that ever happened then prepared to be very very afraid.
Turks btw are indeed known for being a bit short tempered, perhaps it's a cultural thing, they are also on the flip side a friendly bunch if you get to know them. They aren't alone, think the stereotype of the Italians - gregarious and prone to over the top emotional outbursts.
I've been to Turkey a few times, and in all fairness it's no dirtier than Greece (If that's a good thing). Beautiful coastline (The part I used to visit) and not particularly over the top with the religion side. This though changes as you get further inland. I wouldn't visit again - just got sick of various matters, aggression in shops a big one.
Then again, in a market in a pit of a resort called Marmaris, some local tried fishing notes out my wallet when I was paying something. They thought I'd back down - they thought wrong. They thought sending for their friend built like a brick ****house would intimidate me - I faced him right down. Don't mess with a Yorkshiremans wallet!!
Yes that's also a big reason I won't go back there - but in all fairness that could have happened in many other places popular with tourists, especially Paris and Barcelona.
Other big reason for not going there - Turkey, especially Marmaris is becoming the destination of choice for Chantelle to chav it up with the cast of "Shameless". The local men aren't impressed, and......it's not safe I reckon.
ps, Turk mentality - if anything "bad" happened in the resort, they used to say "Oh they won't be Turks, we are good people, those people owning that hotel/restaurant/scamming/.......they are Kurds".
Go figure on that one.
pps don't go to Turkey if your wife/daughter/granny has blonde hair.
