Second, you have offered an appeal to authority. Relevant experience earns a hearing, it does not earn automatic, uncritical acceptance. As you have offered no rationale for accepting this person’s view other than their job title I can only conclude this is what you’re doing.
A critical appraisal of any opinion must include some attempt to understand the context in which they’re speaking and their motivations for doing so. Such as, in this case, the likelihood that they have permanently lost their means of undercutting British drivers wages by hiring east European ones.

When issues have been highlighted due to Brexit you have time and time again dismissed them, even when primary sources of evidence have been presented to counter. Now, if I’m offering a straw man argument all you’re offering is blind devotion.
You’ve made no clinical appraisal whatsoever on the subject, if you have evidence that counters what’s been said, then please, let’s see it.
To ignore a primary source and counter without fact but instead use conjecture and speculation is breathtakingly arrogant.
