Thias is to keep wages down and profits high. Also the EU is all about sucking money out of the richer countries to give to the poorer ones. When the UK leaves the burden will fall heavier the few who can afford to give.

I think a large percentage will stay here and not go further west too due to language barriers. Ukrainian and polish are mutually intelligible and within 3-4 months they can speak polish communicatively.
