It would be nice to know how much Is smuggled in by UK residents compared with the amount brought in by foreign nationals. We have a couple of known businesses around here (kebab shops) that are known for supplying drugs, there has even been a bit of a mini war when he new kebab shop started selling drugs on the other guys patch.
One of these businesses is Turkish owned and I believe the other is Iraqi owned.

No one is saying they were right, or that they did not bring the addiction on themselves. However, It's still tragic and I doubt they wanted to deserved to go down the path they go down, like the woman mentioned here.
As for the smuggling, family ties are unlikely to be the sole method of the majority of the drug smuggling that goes on. Even so, I am not sure what the nationality/race of those doing the smuggling has to do with it. In terms of fighting it as least.
