It has been reported to our news team that women living in Glasgow are being offered cash by criminals trying to arrange bogus marriages.

One Glasgow MP says he is aware of several cases where young Polish women have been approached and offered cash to marry men from countries outside the EU.

Polish citizens can live and work in the UK since the country joined the EU in 2004, and many Poles have moved to Glasgow.
The criminals are said to be demanding up to £10,000 to set up the weddings, which allow non-EU nationals to remain in the UK. The sham weddings are a quick and easy way for the criminals involved to raise a huge sum of money.

Dozens of young Polish women have come forward and reported being approached by the criminals.

Once asylum seekers have been set up with a woman, the couples then go abroad to get married, away from the scrutiny of the British authorities.

The ‘husbands’ can then legally stay and work in the Britain.

Ian Davidson MP, who represents the Glasgow South West constituency, said: “I’ve been contacted by a number of Polish girls who live locally and say that they’re being offered up to £3000 to marry asylum seekers.

“The men, from Algeria, Afghanistan, Turkey and Pakistan, hope that by arranging a bogus marriage they will be able to claim the right to stay in the UK.”

He added: “This is a subject that has been concerning me for some time now and one which I fully intend to give increased attention to over the coming weeks and months.”

Which sounds rather like ” I wont be doing anything about it” to us!

The only party that would do something about it is the British National Party and on November 12th the good people of Glasgow North East will have the chance to put their cross next to our candidates name on the ballot sheet. VOTE BNP ON NOVEMBER 12TH.
