Why Your High Street is Full of Phone and Vape Shops
Description
Ever wondered why there are so many neon-lit phone repair and vape shops in your local high street?
A new BBC investigation has found that many are money-laundering fronts for the international people smuggling gangs conducting the small boat crossings in the English Channel. One in Woolwich was caught offering to facilitate the smuggling of two illegal migrants for £2,700.
An Islamic honour-based finance system called Hawala ensures legal migrants in Britain can sponsor family and clan members for smuggling into Britain as illegal immigrants, using brokers in these currency exchange, phone, and vape shops.
While business rates and COVID lockdowns have destroyed local businesses, organised crime is making a killing and replacing the honest brokers in our towns and cities.
The government know it's going on, and do nothing.
