According the UNHCR [1]
The top nationalities of people applying for asylum were Syrian (75,615), Afghan (49,905), Venezuelan (19,235), Colombian (18,160), Pakistani (17,960), Iraqi (16,420), and Turkish (13,845).
We bombed a couple of those ... and no Albania.

- flir 3y agoFrom your link: "Albania was the top nationality claiming asylum in the UK in the year ending September 2022 (13,650 applications)." Full text of the paragraph you partially quoted: "In the year ending September 2021, EU+ (EU, EEA and Switzerland) countries have seen a 4% fall in asylum applications, receiving 418,495 first time asylum applications from non-EU citizens. The top nationalities of people applying for asylum were Syrian (75,615), Afghan (49,905), Venezuelan (19,235), Colombian (18,160), Pakistani (17,960), Iraqi (16,420), and Turkish (13,845)." I thought your numbers were a bit high for the UK.
