    The minimum wage here is a lot higher than the minimum wage in Poland.
    Yes. So too is a can of coke, a pack of ciggies, a pint of beer, a loaf of bread, a month's rent.

    I've worked with plenty of Poles. Literally none of them went home for winter.

    And the people whose strawberry farms go bust can get jobs cleaning toilets in London. Bravo.
    Let me know when this actually happens, rather than it being something you imagine happening.

    I understand your personal experience working with Poles in hotels makes you an expert on immigrant farm labour from Poland. But, what I'm talking about is people who come here from Poland to pick fruit. It's seasonal labour. They can stay if they want, but they can also take what they've saved and go back home where it's worth a lot more. I personally think it's irrelevant what they do because either way they won't be coming this year because of Brexit. That's kind of the point you're so conveniently trying to deflect.

    "It hasn't happened yet because the effects of Brexit won't start for farmers until harvest time when they traditionally rely on immigrant workers from the EU, therefore it's just project feat propaganda." Gotcha.

    But ok, let's worry about the famers when the time comes. Let's go back to those fishermen you said were going to get a big leg up from Brexit. Here's some who are getting a kick in the nuts instead - 50 workers laid off by one employer and exports at 30% of what they were last year. Or maybe they're just imagining all of that. Project Fear!

    I just think we should suspend judgment on Boris until we have all the facts through an inquiry, police investigation, and parliamentary commission...then we should explode him.
