Andy, I will admit to not agreeing with much (maybe even most) of what you type. However don't hold your breath re getting anywhere with folk like Pat on this subject. They're evidently in the camp of being happy with any number of people coming in through non formal routes. 5k a day, 10k a day, 15k a day? Yeah why not, come on in ...
'Predominantly Albanians'. Good grief, they already account for 10% of our prison population.
Ah yes, Albania. It's no wonder they need to escape from there, am I not right in thinking it's a war-torn hellhole at present where no one is safe? I mean, I know there are numerous companies offering holidays there, but I can only assume that's an error on their websites, maybe meant to be holidays to Alaska or something.

At least it shows how well the Rwanda thing is working and how Pritis' promises are holding up. 
2% according to UK prison statistics as of 2021.
It a silly statistic to trot out. It's obviously rubbish and very quick to disprove.

Boris is gone. And even now they are plotting to throw him out of Parliament. Poor bloke is distraught.
Correction, 10% of foreign prisoner population.

Albanians are amongst the largest groups of irregular[vague] immigrants in the UK, and Albanian children are the second largest group receiving help from Barnardo's child trafficking support teams.[10] In 2010, Albanians were not seen as a significantly at-risk group, but in 2015 Barnardo's estimated that Albanians accounted for a quarter of children allocated an advocate under its child trafficking support scheme. Some are forced to work, particularly on building sites, but the majority are exploited for criminal activities.[11]
Albanians seeking asylum in the UK regularly cite blood feuds as the reason that it is unsafe for them to return to Albania. The number of Albanian asylum applicants rose from 173 in 2008 to 1,809 in 2015. The vast majority of these applications are rejected.[5][12]
In June 2017, the National Crime Agency's annual report on organized crime warned that Albanian criminal gangs had "established a high-profile influence within UK organized crime", focusing mainly on the trafficking of cocaine to London. The report noted that "The threat faced from Albanian crime groups is significant. London is their primary hub, but they are established across the UK". It also noted that only 0.8% of organized criminals in the UK are Albanians, with British nationals accounting for 61.6% (23.5% are of unknown nationality). Albanian organized criminals display a readiness to use serious violence, which according to the National Crime Agency makes their impact more troubling, however.[10]
Between April 2015 and April 2019, 6,200 Albanian nationals were deported from the UK to Albania. This was the highest number of any nationality over this period. Many of these deportees are reported to be from the counties of Shkodër, Kukës and Dibër, from where British-based drugs gangs recruit.[13]
In 2020, Albanians were reportedly the largest foreign national group in UK prisons with over 1,500 inmates, representing roughly 10% of the foreign prison population in the UK, rising from 2% in 2013.[14] In July 2021, British Home Secretary Priti Patel signed an agreement with the Albanian Government which would make it easier for the UK to return criminals and unsuccessful asylum seekers back to Albania.[15] It was also reported that the UK could help fund the construction of a new prison in Albania to house offenders sent back from the UK.[16]

There is a difference between those wanting control of immigration and a fair workable system and those that refuse to accept some immigration is useful acceptable and necessary. And of those that would shoot on site anybody who drifts too far from a french beach.
Please dont make the foolish mistake of confusing the differences.
I think there are very very few who want unlimited immigration. But a lot of people take issues into account.
That's probably because he (Himmy) lives in France so he's keen to get rid of them from there.
