This guy!
It's a perfect eg of why anyone who thinks they can trust him, or that he has any real beliefs (outside himself) is smoking crack.
The number of times I've heard him preach in favour of FOM and immigration... Not to mention that all the people I know who are or have been fanboys are also in favour of FOM and immigration... I can't even.
My prediction of Johnson's post Brexit world is one with increased immigration, but with a reclassification of the numbers. Perhaps where we include the number of tourists leaving the UK.

Yeah I agree. I think he is a hollow shell and a "moral windsock" (tx John Oliver), useful idiot etc... but he is also happy to let Priti Patel run immigration. That "less than 0" instantly starting venting about ending FOM NOW!
I expect the utter nastiness towards immigrants from the HO will continue, because he will do what suits him. And she and Gove will do what suit them, a few more thrown under the bus, well who cares?
So the fanbois brushing it off with "oh he doesn't mean it..." isn't going to help me or any immigrant, the damaging policies will continue.
We are still in a situation where unregistered EU immigrants/those with complex situations (taken in care by an EU immigrant, but not from the EU themselves) are at risk 1 January 2021.
Of course the denial about this is huge, even though the HO itself admitted this, but ok...

"EU migrants have been able to “treat the UK as if it’s part of their own country” for too long, Boris Johnson said yesterday as he reprised the core message of Vote Leave’s 2016 EU referendum campaign."
Liberal values at work?
Wow, I wish I were surprised, but I am not. This going to be a hard ass week as a Dutch immigrant, either 13th is going to be waking up the 27th of June 2016, again, or there will be some hope.
