My mistake "if UK remains in the EU england will be flooded with Turks".
Basically Turkeys reputation within england sank so low under erdogan that Turks and Turkey is generally hated. So to get people to vote leave they used Turkey as the primer.

Basically under AK party Turks and Turkey are perceived as less then human here in the UK.
Now the major problem of destroying Turkeys international reputation is that when the greek cheats make a claim the outside world takes it as a truth and the defacto position from 3rd parties is always anti-Turkey. Or when the PKK talk against Turkey the world supports communists terrorists against Turkey because of how erdogan created the image of Turkey.
That's why i say things like changing the agia sophia into a mosque internationally only further convinced the world that Turkey is an islamist shitehole. A world leader doesn't put his nation constantly in the firing line.
The people that call him a world leader fall for cheap populist tricks but fail to see the bigger picture. Erdogan destroyed the image of Turkey so successfully that just seeing "TURKEY" creates a negative feeling in much of the world.
