Please can you drop the patronising insults? The foreign secretary made no mention, as far as I can see, of controlling Polish immigration numbers when he was in Poland.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
It looks to me like you're more interested in playing with words than seriously discussing the issue. Surely you can see the difference between a speech on the UK's future immigration policy (which this wasn't) and a goodwill speech delivered by the UK's chief diplomat (which this was)?

The government isn't going to publish an immigration policy that specifically restricts numbers of Polish workers as that is not only discriminatory but would also not do a great deal for Anglo-Polish relations.
The only reason we have immigrant workers in the first place is that the 5 million unemployed UK workers are unwilling or unable to do the jobs available hence the need to use migrant labour.
There would be no real need for any immigration if all available jobs in the UK were taken up by the unemployed UK workers we have but at present that is not the case.

Erm, in the 60s and 70s the pay differential between owners/senior managers was much less than it is now, and it was the fact that the overseas manufacturers had cheaper labour and cheaper raw materials which made the price differential so much; that and the fact we had terrible quality control, and thought we still had an Empire that had to buy from us, rather than producing and exporting their own goods.
We, as a country (both politicians, industries, and workers) did not adapt to a changing world, tried to live on our laurels, and got left behind...

Unfortunately, we are still making the same mistakes because as you say the pay differential now is higher than it was in the past. We have actually learnt nothing.
Is it any wonder that we have a massive deficit because we, as a country, are not planning financial reductions or making any real effort to live within our means.

But we didn't make the mistakes you said we made, and we are now making different ones..

I am afraid that is exactly what the 37% of the electorate who voted us out of the EU are expecting. Controlled immigration means exactly that: a cap on people who are able to move here from foreign countries which would include Poland.

Seems a contradiction to me (or maybe its just a wind up). Ok, I'll run with it: controlled or capped immigration is just that. Or are you suggested that we have different quota applied to different countries? I assume Poland having no quota applied ..
Maybe that's why Boris didn't mention it

The plan was already in motion before brexit with repeated cuts to corporation tax. The future is hard to predict for sure and these are difficult times to be a ruler of this country.

So for a few years we'll have both limits on migration and be in the single-market with the single market benefits getting slowly removed.
It would stop any dramatic shock to both the EU and the UK whilst the EU get a lot of the big services firms and we limit migration.

considering how much we rely on services for GDP tho that would be a big shock to the UK.
