We have never had uncontrolled nor mass immigration though, but if we have/had, it was down to the UK Govt. Its one of the biggest fabrications that framed the Leave campaign.

Welcome back Wayne
And that’s great, but in the same way that you control the number living in your home, someone has to be responsible for the number living in our country.....

And the UK Government have, and have always had, the powers to do just that.

No political party has ever had "encourage immigration"
In its manefesto.

Tony Blair...
"Under Blair’s Labour government, Britain’s economic immigration policy went from a highly restrictive approach to one of the most expansive in Europe, as I examined in new research. Work permit criteria were relaxed, the number of international students was doubled, the government expanded existing low and high-skilled migrant worker schemes and launched new ones and, from 2005, initiated a new points-based immigration system. Overshadowing these important reforms was the 2004 decision to allow citizens of eight countries that were about to join the EU the immediate right to work in Britain. This decision alone resulted in one of the largest migration flows in Britain’s peacetime history.
Put into historical context, Labour’s reforms were an unprecedented policy reversal. With 2.5m foreign-born workers added to the population since 1997 and net migration averaging 200,000 per year between 1997 and 2010 – five times higher than under the previous administration government of 1990-1996 – immigration under Labour quite literally changed the face of Britain."

Pedantic and boring me with irrelevant vaccine references, however, AZ is not recommended for under 30s, and having known somebody dead with said clot its of little comfort to their family and friends that's its rare, but hey, I'm alright jack...
Anyway, welcome to the Not very United Kingdom Mr Coates...
At the risk of repeating myself, what does "considerably lower costs" mean? Presumably for them to say that they know how much a kg of beef in the UK costs to produce and a kg of beef in Australia, so what are those figures?
Oh, would you look at this

Australian beef is actually the most expensive in the world. Fancy that.
Enjoy your steak this Christmas, because you mightn't be able to afford it next year
Steak nights look set to get rare as a bullish market, driven by the cattle shortage, demand and the end of the drought, sees Australian beef become the most expensive in the world.

And the price of British beef for comparison.
ahdb.org.uk
Works out at around AUD$7.20 per kg, so British farmers currently enjoy a cost advantage over Australian farmers of around AUD$0.80 per kg even before any costs associated with shipping beef from Australia to Britain are considered. But yeah, we'll be flooded with dirt cheap beef because of, erm, something or other.

To add insult to injury, the Australian farming minister is so bullish at their ability to flog their carcinogenic offal overseas that the price will reach $10 per kg this year, which would make it 40% more expensive than plucky old British beef. At this rate, the only person that will be able to afford to buy our newly imported bovine will be Carrie Symonds.
