Albania was ruled for many years by an authoritarian, isolationist régime which did not believe in human rights; which may go some way to explaining the attraction many of its citizens evidently feel towards the United Kingdom. The number of Albanians arriving across the Channel has increased massively during the past two years of self-declared functional government; and this despite the fact that Albania has been declared a "safe country" by no less an authority than Robert Jenrick, Minister for Wog Control and Richard Desmond, not necessarily in that order. Jenrick and his chums are considering proposals in order to grip the situation, which certainly sounds like a course of action to which Desmond could give his approval. The proposals in question are for a "bespoke route" for Albanians to have their cases heard promptly when they arrive upon the mainland, so that they can be kicked out all the faster. Of course every silver lining has a cloud, and Jenrick did not conceal the possibilty that the master race might be forced to work with Albania, and even with France, in order to facilitate its situational grippage. It is to be hoped that Boris Johnson and other Latinists will resist the temptation to sabotage the Government's benignant border-positivity by informing fellow back-benchers that Albanians are white.
