#Europe

European analog to the US diaspora-influence + labor-arbitrage Ratchet pattern — per-country diaspora-influence operations (UK, DE, FR, NL, SE, BE, CH, Eastern Europe) and EU/national labor-arbitrage mechanisms (Posted Workers Directive, UK Skilled Worker / Health & Care Worker visa, NHS recruitment, Blue Card / Chancenkarte, Schengen freedom of movement, informal southern-EU sectors). Companion to two in-flight US dossiers (diaspora PACs + H-1B body shops). Structural argument, sourced to parliamentary records, court rulings, regulator findings, and major-outlet investigations. No motive imputation. UK-libel-aware.
