Ottavatko käsittelyyn tuossa numerossa myös ilmiantoja työluvattomista suomalaisista vosuista, jotka työskentelevät baareissa ja basaarikaupoissa laittomasti ja luvattomasti?
Hommia on niin paljon, että tarvittaisiin uusia ilmiantopaikkoja. Myös lisää vapaaehtoisia otetaan ilmiantoremmiin ajalle 1.3 - 30.0.2014. Työaika 18/7. Ja palkkana hyvät naurut antoisan ja hyödyllisen uuden harrastuksen lisäksi.
Mene jo hoitoon, tuota toistuvaa sönkötystäsi ei kukaan jaksa lukea.
Tyhmä Yeter.
no voihan ne tietty tänne Suomeen kortistoonkin ottaa... hitto että voit olla oikeesti TYHMÄ :)
Jaakko3 hyvä, hoida homma! Ota kiinni kaikki suurrikolliset, äläkä jauha kakkaa täällä!
Muista syödä lääkkeet.
Hieno palvelu, vaikka vielä ei tuollaiselle ole tullut tarvetta, mutta hyvä tietää.
Minusta hienoa että tällainen palvelu on kehitetty. Toinen, minne voi suomenkielellä tehdä yhteydenoton, on Turkin valtion matkailutoimisto Helsingissä. Sinne voi lähettää viestiä erilaisista asioista, mihin tarvitsee apua. Aina tullut vastaus, ja homma hoitunut sitäkin kautta eteenpäin tosi upeasti.
Kiitos. Otan myös tuon toimiston ilmiantolistaani. Jospa sitä kautta avautuisi ja selviäisi lisää luvattomuuksia, mm. työttömyyskorvausten saaminen yhtäaikaa työluvattoman työnteon kanssa Turkissa.
Hyvä jaakko .Älä välitä näistä ääliöistä ,jotka hyväksyy laittomuuksi.
