Andrew Marr on the outrageous number of Poles… and French and Spaniards in the UK, here at 34’52: "[...] there’s a lot of people out there who want fewer Polish people here, fewer French, fewer Spanish people arriving here."
For God’s sake, there are only 137,862 French citizens and 77,554 Spaniards in the UK (2011 UK census) but that’s obviously far too many for Marr, a staunch Brexiter I believe. Never mind the fact that about a third of French people in the UK work in the City or the financial sector and contribute substantially to the UK economy via their high wages and taxes. Please somebody hide the latest ONS figures from the likes of Marr, he’ll have a fit if he sees them (150,000 French people and 125,000 Spaniards).
I’ll send Marr a postcard when/if I leave the UK (I don’t particularly want to but my – British – wife now does), just to reassure him.
