EXCLUSIVE POLL: 12 MILLION Turks say they’ll come to the UK once EU deal is signed
MORE than 12 million Turkish citizens are planning to move to Britain when the country joins the European Union, an explosive poll for Express.co.uk has revealed.

In the most extensive survey of its kind, almost 16 per cent of Turkish adults said they would consider re-locating to the UK once their country becomes a full member of the EU.
According to the poll, which saw more than 2,600 adults interviewed across all 27 provinces of Turkey, most of those keen to come to Britain are either unemployed or students, raising the prospect of a migrant influx which would place an unprecedented strain on the UK’s struggling public services, including the NHS.

The results come as separate figures expose the security risk posed to the UK by Turkey’s accession to the EU - an ambition previously supported by the Prime Minister.
Analysis by Vote Leave suggests Turkey’s membership in the EU would result in far higher numbers of criminals coming to the UK.
Figures released by the campaign group show the crime rate in Turkey far exceeds that of the UK, with the murder rate at least four times that of Britain.
There are also nine million privately-owned firearms registered to its citizens.
Last night David Davis said Turkey’s plans to join the EU was the strongest argument for Brexit, as he warned it would unleash a new wave of migration that would push down wages and threaten the country’s security.

We are currently sending over £1billion to Turkey to help them join the EU - the only way to stop this affecting the UK is to Vote Leave on 23 June
Responding to the poll, the former shadow home secretary said: “You cannot blame young people who want a better life in Britain, but it will overwhelm our public services; it will have an extraordinarily depressing effect on wages and as a result it will cause real pain and penalties for the poorest in Britain.
“It will be the least well off who will be competing for the same jobs; competing for the same public services.
“That is why the prospect of Turkey joining the EU is one of the strongest arguments for the UK to leave.”
On the security risk, Mr Davis added: “This is the problem that dare not speak its name.
The poll shows around 12 million people are keen to come to the UK once Turkey joins the EU
“If you look at the population in British prisons there are a disproportionate number of people of non-British origin in there and the reason is entirely predictable; Britain is a lucrative target for criminals.
“As our economy does well to someone from a very poor society who already has a criminal background this is a natural target.
“These are really important issues which we need to take seriously; they are not issues of race or bigotry; they are issues of real self-interest for ordinary people.”
Turkey, which has an 80 million strong population, is pressing its case to become a full EU member after wrestling the right to visa-free travel for its citizens across the Schengen Zone.
Full-membership would give the country’s predominantly Muslim population the right to free-movement across Europe, with un-fettered access to Britain.
Today’s poll reveals for the first time the intention of those living in Turkey if it joined the EU, with 15.8 per cent of the population - the equivalent of 12.6m people - in favour of making a new home for themselves and their families in Britain.
The survey was carried out by Turkey’s leading pollsters KONDA, which conducted face-to-face interviews with 2,685 Turks aged 18 and over between May 7 and 8.
Each person was asked the question: “If Turkey becomes a full member of the EU, and Britain remains in the EU, would you, or any member of your family, consider relocating to Britain?”
In total 15.8 per cent responded that they would consider emigrating to Britain, whilst 84.2 per cent said they were not thinking of making the move to the UK.
The wish to relocate to our shores was highest amongst the unemployed people surveyed, a staggering 36 per cent of whom expressed their desire to make the move.
Political tensions and cultural divides in Turkey have resulted in a large number of terror attacks
Turkey’s unemployment rate has spiralled over the last year and hit 10.9 per cent in February this year, far above Britain’s rate of 5.4 per cent.
The next biggest group was the country’s two-million strong student population, with 34 per cent of those asked saying they planned to relocate to Britain.
Foreign Office Minister James Duddridge said: “These figures reveal the huge pressure our public services will come under if we stay in the EU.
“We will be powerless to stop millions of Turks accessing our schools, hospitals and housing, who will be attracted to the UK by our higher wages and living standards.
“We are currently sending over £1billion to Turkey to help them join the EU - the only way to stop this affecting the UK is to Vote Leave on 23 June.”
Prominent Tory eurosceptic Peter Bone added: “These figures demonstrate the true danger of remaining in the EU.
“Our public services are at breaking point and our housing stock depleted with the current situation of uncontrolled migration.
“Our country cannot accommodate another 12 million people.
“Unless we leave the EU, there is absolutely nothing we can do to stop this influx of Turks.”

No. There's less work the further out you go
And most people do settle in London and the surrounding areas which are very over-crowded.
England is SMALL!!!!
You're like one of those drivers who say "it's only two minutes ups the road" when the person is walking
Okay it's a crap analogy but I knew what I meant

Fascinating; the limited number of members that bring something that they've actually read & understand into the discussion...
And amusing as it is ...the obvious talking points that {like a shit house rumor} keep getting pushed forward have very little validity to the real issued but do generate a lot of hype and hysteria for the 'NO WAY' crowd that can't/won't/aren't able to educate themselves about the EU vote issue.
Mass number of people just stopped thinking and reading and followed the loudest knuckle draggers despite the rumor/innuendo and our right lying BS that was being reported by the Republican party of 'NO'
Hell even his supreme highness Didgey-dooer tried to defame my knowledge and understanding about the ACA; he even called me a LIAR and claimed 'he knew all there was to know about that ACA issue and 'I' was lying and wrong!'
Well, I won't be saying such utter nonsense to you good people; but just do your own reading and research and don't be lead by the 'LOUDEST knuckle draggers' --- they don't always have your bests interest at heart.
Be an educated voter - ALWAYS
Look, I personally don't have a 'VOTE' on this referendum; but for all the lies and utter BW that the opposing party shoved out to their mindless 'SHEEPLE' about our ACA {affordable care act aka Obama Care} ---The pros and cons of leaving the EU
The greatest uncertainty associated with leaving the EU is that no country has ever done it before, so no one can predict the exact result. Nevertheless, many have tried.
Membership fee
Leaving the EU would result in an immediate cost saving, as the country would no longer contribute to the EU budget. Last year, Britain paid in £13bn, but it also received £4.5bn worth of spending, says Full Fact "so the UK's net contribution was £8.5bn". That's about 7 per cent of what the Government spends on the NHS each year.
What's harder to determine is whether the financial advantages of EU membership, such as free trade and inward investment (see below) outweigh the upfront costs.
Trade
The EU is a single market in which no tariffs are imposed on imports and exports between member states. "More than 50 per cent of our exports go to EU countries," says Sky News, "and our membership allows us to have a say over how trading rules are drawn up."
Britain also benefits from trade deals between the EU and other world powers. "The EU is currently negotiating with the US to create the world's biggest free trade area," says the BBC, "something that will be highly beneficial to British business."
Britain risks losing some of that negotiating power by leaving the EU, but it would be free to establish its own trade agreements.
Ukip leader Nigel Farage believes Britain could follow the lead of Norway, which has access to the single market but is not bound by EU laws on areas such as agriculture, justice and home affairs. But others argue that an "amicable divorce" would not be possible.
"If Britain were to join the Norwegian club," says The Economist, "it would remain bound by virtually all EU regulations, including the working-time directive and almost everything dreamed up in Brussels in future." And it would no longer have any influence on what those regulations said.
Leading Brexit campaigner Boris Johnson, meanwhile, has proposed adopting a Canada-style trade arrangement. "I think we can strike a deal as the Canadians have done based on trade and getting rid of tariffs" and have a "very, very bright future", he said. The idea was quickly dismissed by the PM, who said it would mean "years of painful negotiations and a poorer deal than we have today".
Eurosceptics argue that the vast majority of small and medium sized firms do not trade with the EU but are restricted by a huge regulatory burden imposed from abroad.
A study by the think-tank Open Europe, which wants to see the EU radically reformed, found that the worst-case "Brexit" scenario is that the UK economy loses 2.2 per cent of its total GDP by 2030 (by comparison, the recession of 2008-09 knocked about 6 per cent off UK GDP). However, it says that GDP could rise by 1.6 per cent if the UK was able to negotiate a free trade deal with Europe – ie to maintain the current trade set-up – and pursued "very ambitious deregulation".
Whether other EU countries would offer such generous terms is one of the big unknowns of the debate. Pro-exit campaigners argue that it would be in the interests of other European countries to re-establish free trade, but their opponents suggest that the EU will want to make life hard for Britain in order to discourage further breakaways.
France has said recently that there would be "consequences" for Britain if it left the EU.
Investment
Inward investment is likely to slow in the run-up to the vote, due to the uncertainty of the outcome and its consequences: that's what happened in before the Scottish independence referendum in 2014.
In the longer term, there are diverging views: pro-Europeans think the UK's status as one of the world's biggest financial centres will be diminished if it is no longer seen as a gateway to the EU for the likes of US banks, while Brexit campaigners suggest that, free from EU rules a regulations, Britain could reinvent itself as a Singapore-style supercharged economy.
Fears that car-makers could scale back or even end production in the UK vehicles could no longer be exported tax-free to Europe were underlined by BMW's decision to remind its UK employees at Rolls-Royce and Mini of the "significant benefit" EU membership confers. Likewise, Business for New Europe says tax revenues would drop if companies that do large amounts of business with Europe – particularly banks – moved their headquarters back into the EU.
Barclays, however, has put forward a worst-case scenario that might benefit the Outers. It says the departure of one of the EU's most powerful economies would hit its finances and boost populist anti-EU movements in other countries. This would open a "Pandora's box", says the Daily Telegraph, which could lead to the "collapse of the European project".
The UK would then be seen as a safe haven from those risks, attracting investors, boosting the pound and reducing the risk that Scotland would "leave the relative safety of the UK for an increasingly uncertain EU".
Immigration
Under EU law, Britain cannot prevent anyone from another member state coming to live in the country – while Britons benefit from an equivalent right to live and work anywhere else in the UK. The result has been a huge increase in immigration into Britain, particularly from eastern and southern Europe.
According to the Office for National Statistics, there are 942,000 eastern Europeans, Romanians and Bulgarians working in the UK, along with 791,000 western Europeans – and 2.93m workers from outside the EU. China and India are the biggest source of foreign workers in the UK.
Inners say that, while the recent pace of immigration has led to some difficulties with housing and service provision, the net effect has been overwhelmingly positive. By contrast, Farage says immigration should be cut dramatically, and the leaving the EU is the only way to "regain control of our borders". Other pro-Brexit campaigners would not necessarily reduce immigration, but say that it should be up to the British Government to set the rules.
David Cameron says that concessions he won during the renegotiation of Britain's EU membership will reduce immigration as new arrivals will receive a lower rate of child benefit.
Jobs
The effect of leaving the EU on British jobs depends on a complex interplay of the factors above: trade, investment and immigration.
Pro-EU campaigners have suggested that three million jobs could be lost if Britain goes it alone. However, while "figures from the early 2000s suggest around three million jobs are linked to trade with the European Union," says Full Fact, "they don't say they are dependent on the UK being an EU member."
If trade and investment fell post-Brexit, then some of these jobs would be lost – but if they rose, then new jobs would be created.
A drop in immigration would, all else being equal, mean more jobs for the people who remained, but labour shortages could also hold back the economy, reducing its potential for growth.
Stuart Rose, former Marks & Spencer chief executive and a prominent pro-EU campaigner, conceded recently that wages may rise if Britain leaves – which would be good for workers, but less so for their employers.
Writing for the London School of Economics, Professor Adrian Favell says limiting freedom of movement would deter the "brightest and the best" of the continent from coming to Britain and reduce the pool of candidates employers can choose from.
Free movement of people across the EU also opens up job opportunities for British workers seeking to work elsewhere in Europe.
Britain's place in the world
For Outers, leaving the EU will allow Britain to re-establish itself as a truly independent nation with connections to the rest of the world. To Inners, Brexit would result in the country giving up its influence in Europe, turning back the clock and retreating from the global power networks of the 21st century.
Brexit would bring some clear-cut advantages, says The Economist. The UK "would regain control over fishing rights around its coast", for example. But it concludes that the most likely outcome is that Britain would find itself "a scratchy outsider with somewhat limited access to the single market, almost no influence and few friends".
Britain would remain a member of Nato and the UN, but it may be regarded as a less useful partner by its key ally, the US. The American government fears that the "EU referendum is a dangerous gamble that could unravel with disastrous consequences for the entire continent", says The Guardian.
Security
Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith, who has come out in favour of Brexit, says we are leaving the "door open" to terrorist attacks by remaining in the EU. "This open border does not allow us to check and control people," he says.
However, a dozen senior military figures, including former chiefs of defence staff Lord Bramall and Jock Stirrup, say the opposite. In a letter released by No 10, they argue that the EU is an "increasingly important pillar of our security", especially at a time of instability in the Middle East and in the face of "resurgent Russian nationalism and aggression".
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has also said the UK benefits from being part Europe, as well as Nato and the United Nations. "It is through the EU that you exchange criminal records and passenger records and work together on counter-terrorism," he said. "We need the collective weight of the EU when you are dealing with Russian aggression or terrorism."
In contrast, Colonel Richard Kemp, writing in The Times, says these "critical bilateral relationships" would persist regardless of membership, and that it is "absurd" to suggest that the EU would put its own citizens, or the UK's, at greater risk by reducing cooperation in the event of Brexit.
"By leaving, we will again be able to determine who does and does not enter the UK," says Kemp, a former head of the international terrorism team at the Cabinet Office. "Failure to do so significantly increases the terrorist threat here, endangers our people and is a betrayal of this country."
When will the EU referendum be held?
The date has been set for 23 June 2016.
What will the referendum ask?
The Conservatives recommended that the question should be: "Do you think that the United Kingdom should remain a member of the European Union?" However, the government bowed to pressure from the Electoral Commission after concerns that the phrasing of the question might be seen as biased towards those campaigning to remain a part of the union. The wording has since been changed to:
- Should the UK remain a member of the EU or leave the EU?
Who can vote in the EU referendum?
Eligibility will be based on the criteria for voting in a general election, which means citizens of most EU countries (who can vote in local and European elections in Britain) will not be allowed to take part. Anyone over the age of 18 who falls into one of the following groups can cast a vote:
- British citizens resident in the UK
- British citizens resident overseas for less than 15 years
- Citizens of Ireland, Malta and Cyprus resident in the UK
- Commonwealth citizens resident in the UK
- Commonwealth citizens resident in Gibraltar
However, citizens of Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man, which are not in the EU, will not take part. Members of the House of Lords will be allowed to vote, despite being ineligible to cast a ballot at general elections.
The High Court recently quashed a legal challenge to the rule that prohibits Britons who have lived abroad for more than 15 years from voting. It means that more than 700,000 ex-pats will not have a say in the referendum. They have vowed to appeal, arguing that the referendum result will have a "very real effect" on their lives.
What would happen if the vote was held tomorrow?
The latest poll of polls have shown that exactly 50 per cent of voters support Brexit and 50 per cent would like to remain in the bloc. Carried out by NatCen Social Research, the comprehensive survey takes into account the average of the six most recent surveys. Individually, however, each poll shows contradictory results, with narrow leads for Remain and Leave depending on the survey.
Can we trust the polls?
After last year's general election campaign – in which the opinion polls were very consistent and, as it turned out, very wrong – many onlookers are approaching EU referendum polls with some skepticism. Doubts about their accuracy have been amplified by sharp differences in the outcomes they have predicted: from a 26-point lead for Remain last December to a nine-point lead for Leave two months later.
The problem, according to polling analyst Matt Singh, is the difficulty in finding a representative sample of voters – and the difference in techniques used by online and telephone pollsters explains much of the variation. "This sampling error is increasing the lead for Leave by about 3 percentage points for online polls and increasing it for Remain in the phone polls by about 5 percentage points," says the BBC.
But YouGov's Stephan Shakespeare says in The Times that his company's online polls have corrected for this problem, and that they now represent a true snapshot of public opinion. Even so, he says, they may not predict the result in June. Describing an Out vote as a "massive irreversible change", he says "the deep human drive to avoid risk is likely to become increasingly powerful as we get closer to a real decision which cannot easily be changed once it is made." The result, he says, is that "whatever the state of the polls today, it is impossible right now to predict the level of change yet to come".

Mr Farage has never set out to win, and he's nothing like Trump. He has a lovely voice for a start.

Huge difference, sure. I'm sure Farage is much more welcoming of Muslim immigrants than Trump is. And of course, both politicians have nothing but respect for women ...

Our more right-wing Americans would have said something similar, though. When we were trying to reform health care, a lot of us on the left were pointing at the NHS, Canada, etc., and the conservatives got pretty angry and said it didn't matter because we're not them. A lot of them also asserted that Obama was going preside over the "Francification" of America.

Drop the arrogant attitude, and maybe we can discuss it. We don't need you to point out the pros and cons for us. It's our referendum and we will decide what we want to do. As I said, it's a leap of faith for those who want out, but it's our decision to make, and we'll live with the outcome.

Re: Lets get the hell OUT of the EU before this happens
I'll not disagree with you about 'controlled quotas'; ...the USA had some pretty harsh ones as the many stages of our induction of needed labor force/indentured/immigrant/slaves were being allowed into our country. Even pre WWII there was a Jewish quota limitation and that was lifted once we became engaged in the shipment of refugees fleeing from Europe.Tommy Monk wrote:I'm not anti immigrant...

But this entire TOPIC has been generated by a 'POLL' that isn't any better then the paper it was printed on - or those pollsters doing the cold calls to ask for the 'would you move to' - questions!
A.) If England was such a labor rich region then there wouldn't be the huge number of transient labor force warm bodies flowing the opposite direction to go earn a fair wage in all those other countries
B.) WTH are all those humans going to live; all that hysteria about a 'what if - maybe' and it's all SMOKE
C.) Like the hype/lies and pure BS rumors used to try to defeat the ACA; there are people with their own agenda that will just keep promoting the BS so people won't go looking for the TRUTH and will vote against something that has little to do with what YOU THINK IT DOES and more about what is it going to do!

Our points-based system in the U.S. sucks -- we have people who have every right to be here (I.E. the rest of their family lives here legally) who still wait years and pay thousands of dollars to join them.
And when you don't want people from other countries coming to yours, it does sound a bit racist on principle. I.E., the first question is, "What's so bad about them that you don't want them as a potential neighbor?"
And very often when you get an answer to that question, you find out racism is at the root of it.

Re: Lets get the hell OUT of the EU before this happens
People don't have 'every right' to live in another country just because one or more of their family are there...
And the fact that one or more of their family are already there shows that people are already allowed to live there and there is nothing racist about it at all!!!
Our open door policy and allowance of mass immigration sucks more than your points based system!!!
We have allowed millions of people to come over decades... hardly racist of us is it!?
Too many is too many... simple as that!!!

No. You're totally wrong. Racism is rarely at the bottom of it unless the person looking wants to find it.
Racists don't hide their racism. They wear it like a badge and if not, you rarely have to dig too far to find it.
Tommy isn't racist. I asked him once, and he said no, I'm not, and he explained why.
That was good enough for me. I believed him and I still do. What is his purpose in hiding it? Why do racists hide the fact they're racist? They think they're right don't they?
So why would a racist join a debate forum and deny their racism?
Doesn't make sense.

I utterly disagree as you will find many racists shy away from admitting that they are, espcially in this day and age.
Look at the BNP, who constantly denied they were racist and they were as racist as they come Eddie.
Just because someone convinces you they are not racist, that means nothing and Tommy has argued specifically racially against groups, when bilogically his arguments are flawed, because races do not exist biologically but he argues as if they do.
He has argued off IQ, criminality etc towards those we classify as Black, failing to understand criminology itself or that IQ is not a good measure of intelligence
Tommy is a blatant racist and one of the worst

Re: Lets get the hell OUT of the EU before this happens
The statement 'EXCLUSIVE POLL: 12 MILLION Turks say they’ll come to the UK once EU deal is signed' is completely wrong becuase that's not what the poll say. It says that they may consider coming to the UK and I'd hazard a guess that if you ask the same 400 or so that gave that answer that if you asked them if they would consider coming to Germany, France. Holland or Belgium that the would say they would consider going there as well. If the 400 or so said that they would only consider the UK and another 400 or so said they would only consider Germany or France or Holland, Belgium etc and they actualloy did that there would be hardly any Turks left in Turkey
And I've tried to find the actuall poll on the polling company's publications on their website and their's no sign of it so I couldn't check out if the questions published in the Express are all the questions asked.
12 million is pure scaremongering by the Express...

Re: Lets get the hell OUT of the EU before this happens
Well lets take things into consideration.
Turkey is flooded with a few million refugeees.
Its wages are 4 times less than most EU nations.
It does not take rocket science to understand that many will come looking for work and in places where there is already a sizeable number of Turks.
They got it very wrong with Poland and other Eastern European nations on the numbers they thought would come, in the viw that it was predicted minimal and in the end it was staggering

Don't forget the 'experts' told us only 30,000 polish would come... there has been nearly half a million!!!
I don't want to argue over numbers... I want to argue over the principle of the imposition of open door immigration or the principle that we should have control over our borders!!!

I never said you did I said if you did. So if you are claiming that 4ever is actually someone else then you really should say who you think it is because it just throws suspition on others.
So now it's colusion is it? Well you had better back that up as well
