My conclusion on this whole debacle is: Do not allow uncontrolled migration with countries that are much poorer with much lower wages than you.
This may or may not sound common sense but to me that is the root cause of it all.
Before 2004, when the first and main batch of Eastern European countries joined the EU no one really cared about free movement: It was all within Western Europe and did not create problems.
Then, literally millions of Eastern Europeans moved to the UK and that created social, cultural, and economical problems and the people impacted were shocked to be told that there was absolutely nothing the government could do. The rest, as they say, is history.
