JRM
But of course they just handily ignore their own principles when people who don't speak English are involved
Not the sort of person I want to defend, but has he expressed any anti-imigration views? I had him in the same camp as BJ with the UK as dirtier version of Singapore with shit weather, but FOM extended to the ROW.

It ought to be hardcore free-marketeers like JRM defending freedom of movement. Wages are higher one country over? People move until wages equalise. Supply and demand (of labour) and all that. Restricting FOM is restricting the free market.

Edit: agree with ^ - the left wing solution is redistribution whereas righties are supposed to leave things unrestricted and let workers figure out what's best for themselves
