This is a normal post But underpaying people for a shitty job is what freedom of movement is all about!
If we can move goods freely around the world with common international standards, then they'll be made by the cheapest competent manufacturers.
If we can move people freely around the world, then jobs will be done by the cheapest competent people.
And the cheapest competent people and manufacturers are usually the ones in the poorest regions, who then get richer by taking our jobs purchase orders. In principle, everyone benefits - at least that's the free market aim.

But if we end freedom of movement for people and products, then we have to pay an acceptable rate to our local providers, or pay a premium for the movement of people and products over the borders.

And if we try to keep labour and stuff as cheap as it became under a system of free movement, but without the free movement, we run into problems.

This is a normal post So should we seek to end freedom of movement between the richest and poorest regions of the UK too?

Obviously we should be post-scarcity by now, in happy nonheirarchical communes and earthship houses.
