Sorry TC, but you have been led astray.
I seem to remember that this story came from The Sun school of journalism.
ie complete bol**cks.
Red arrows banned from Olympics for being too British
With quality journalism like this and from the Daily Mail and Express, continuously feeding us stories about how the white middle class brit will disappear in a puff of smoke next week. Then, 12 million Albainians will move into their semi in a quiet suburban street, set up drug gangs, break into ever house in the road, and get away with it because the police will be too tied up in red tape to be able to prosecute them. If you say it enough, people will start to believe it. Much of what they publish is misleading, and some of it is false.
Britain is far from perfect, but I believe it is a damn sight better than certain journos would have us believe.
The cynic in me reckons they print all this guff to pursued people to emigrate to the Med because they all have shares in housing complexes in the area
