Let's not forget this works the other way around with Brits going all over Europe to do seasonal work. Maybe instead of moaning about Brits not doing the jobs we should market seasonal work in nice parts of Europe to the residents of Lincolnshire?
This? Or this?
Having spoken to a few farmers about this in the past they suggest it's more supermarkets operating near monopolies and driving prices down. Given farmers have near zero margins and staff are paid the minimum it's pretty clear to me where the issue, and the money, lies.
And the fact they can't afford anything anymore due to EU free-trade being sacked off. I feel for the Remainers but If you voted for Brexit then tough shit, you have to live with the consequences.
No idea. But I do believe if you can't pay a living wage you don't have a viable business. I'm not fan of farmers but I do think we should all be paying a lot more for farm produce.
For some reason this thread reminds me of that Stuart Lee line about "perhaps I prefer to buy my coffee from an over qualified Bulgarian in a Metropolitan area."
Valid points. And I wouldn't say it's irony more the nature of the beast-it's casual seasonal work and many folk use it as a gateway to spending time elsewhere. Although Brexit will sadly slam this door shut for many youngster.
