“The way forward for our country is not to attract a large lever that marks uncontrolled immigration, and allows many people to do work,” he told the BBC.
Referring to the 2016 referendum which leads to the English exit from the European Union, Johnson said: “When people choose to change in 2016 …
they choose to the end of the damaged model of the British economy that relies on low wages and low skills and productivity Low chronic, and we move from it.
