People Being Flown In To Pick Crops.....

Eastern Europeans to be flown in to pick fruit and veg https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-52293061

I suppose they have no alternative. Brits will demand wages which would make the produce unsaleable (especially to supermarkets), I assume?

Thoughts?

ZM: "Why would this be anything to do with Brexit, Gulliver?" - in Gulliver's "mind" everything is to do with brexit! PMSL!

[Spicerack]

We had seasonal agricultural workers from Europe before we signed up for free movement and as predicted we'll have them after free movement.
Best leave it to the young people. It'll be hard work.

Indeed, Tora.

Indeed, Spicey.

Once they called Labour spendthrift.
Now a Tory government spends money at a rate that would have had even John McDonnell’s eyes watering.
Once they wanted to ban the burqa.
Now Mrs Miggins creeps into her local store with a black scarf round her lower face.
Once they wanted ‘em out and now they’re flying ‘em in.
Oh I know “it’s not the same thing”
Lol

[Zacs-Master]

Mrs Miggins has her own pie shop, Ich.

[Spicerack]

You're right, ichi.
It's not the same thing at all.

[Zacs-Master]

Gone a bit awry, this thread ain’t it.

Zacs Master
I know, bobbi. Or at least a ‘sensible’ one. The hard of thinking pepper this site like warts on a unicorn.


I think someone was 'hard of thinking' when they came up with that little gem.

ich, "Now a Tory government spends money at a rate that would have had even John McDonnell’s eyes watering. "
do you not think these are unusual times? Would you rather the government did not so the spending?

10.37 Eastern Europeans being allowed into uk , to work Zacs.

//Now a Tory government spends money at a rate that would have had even John McDonnell’s eyes watering. //

I'd dispute the suggestion that McDonnell's eyes would ever water at the prospect of spending money - but, in the current climate, Ich, would you rather the government didn't spend?

Gulliver. only you could think that this has anything to do with Brexit.

[sandyRoe]

Dormitories in the time of the virus could be a recipe for trouble.

[gulliver1]

Thats what Brexit was REALLY all about Zacs . Keeping fellow Europeans out of the UK. Remember the banners outside Parliament.
........."Give us our Country Back" ......... .

[naomi24]

I think gulliver’s under the impression that Europeans didn’t come here to work before we joined Europe.

[ToraToraTora]

oh dear gully you seem to have completely misunderstood the purpose of brexit.

[NickorWan]

There is no difference between choosing to bring in foreign workers when you want them and having foreigners thrust upon you. Oh hang on let me just check that...

[Spicerack]

These ones are on short term contracts. When the contract's up, off they go, gully.
No benefits, no houses, no family allowance or whatever they call it now.

[gulliver1]

Load of Cobblers ,all you Brexiteers had in the Back of your minds ,was to kick every single foreigner you could, out of the Uk .Except of course doctors ,nurses or any other ,Foreigner you could benefit from , just put your hands up and admit it.
