Wetherspoons warns of pricier pints
He's having a laugh. Such a hypocrite
"Although I believe in Brexit, I think the UK's got quite a low birth rate and that we need a gradually rising population, and that we will need a considerable level of immigration over the next 10, 20, 30 years to be a successful economy," Mr Martin said.
"Having said that, I think that uncontrolled immigration EU-style is not a good thing."
Blonde hair, blue eyed applicants need only apply.
Wetherspoons has reported record annual sales and profits, but warned that prices and costs are likely to rise in the coming months.
The pub chain led by Tim Martin said like-for-like sales, which exclude new pubs, rose 5% in the year to 29 July.
Pre-tax profits jumped 4.3% to £107.2m.
Although sales were up 5.5% in the first six weeks of the company's new financial year, it said taxes, labour and interest costs were expected to be higher than last year.
That meant the price of its food and drinks "may have to go up a bit", Mr Martin told the BBC.
blah blah
The Wetherspoons founder also believed the UK would need a "considerable level of immigration" in the coming decades.
