It’s a little more than that, though, right?

She believes Boston’s journey to Brexit was a unique one: at the end of the 1990s, as locals became less involved in Boston’s farming trade, the town began to change. First it was Portugese-speaking new arrivals. Then, as Poland and Lithuania joined the EU in 2004, ‘gangmasters’ began bringing buses and minivans of workers to the town. Exploitation was rife, with the gangmasters leaving workers little after deductions from wages and housing them in squalid conditions. From her viewpoint running the local Citizens’ Advice Bureau, Fairman says the change was noticeably rapid.

One year, a few dozen new National Insurance numbers were registered, the next she says it was 10,000 or so. “That is the basis of why the locals were pretty cheesed off, because all of a sudden – and it happened extremely quickly, I’m talking four or five years – all our little areas were now full of people we didn’t know,” says Fairman. “But actually our whole agricultural economy really did rest and expand on the incoming labour that was provided by the gangmasters.”

Yes that’s “people we didn’t know” it’s also organized crime and human trafficking. It’s okay to not like that. It doesn’t make one a nazi to want to see people fairly treated.
