That whole black cab thing reminds me again of yet another painful Facebook discussion with somebody who complains "immigrants lower wages" conveniently forgetting immigrants (maybe not mouthy EU ones like me) are also much more vulnerable to exploitation.
But instead of going full force union power on this (seen in Germany, the Netherlands in building projects, perhaps also here...) which not only created a level wage playing field but can also prevent a lot of misery for others the first reaction is to lock down the border. Le sigh.
