The word I’m hearing is that the majority come from Albania.
A country on the brink of EU membership, with no border disputes, displacement of people or any humanitarian disaster.
Mostly single men.
I’ve been there and wealth is evident , huge cars, designer clothes, satellite.
I’ve been told that the ones ending up in Britain have been cast out by their communities and under Albanian tradition they must move away and never return.
The UK historically takes in people from all Mediterranean countries and history shows whether you are Cypriot, Kurdish, Greek or Spanish you find a way to establish yourself in UK society or culture.
This feels very different.
