Another option is those receiving unemployed allowances in particular areas would have to fill vacancies

Forget all this fuffing around, take a look, the soft berry industry it seems is big enough to be relevant but also big enough to start being self sustainable.

Could this work, seriously?
The travel to work distance for rural farms will have a pretty low population and therefore quite a small number of locals that are unemployed?
Most unemployed are only out of work for a few months and many work really hard in that time to find work, how can they be available for interviews if they have been shipped off to a fruit picking concentration camp?
The long term unemployed often have other reasons such as chronic illnesses and mental health / drug / drink problems. Some are older, 50/60+ who want to work but no one want's them, not really suitable for back breaking crop picking though but there are some young unemployed who may welcome the chance to do it?
Lets solve 2 problems with one stone. There are so many blood sucking parasites in the extended royal family living off my hard earned ficking taxes, why can't they be mobilised for a bit of hard work for once in their lives.

Marvellous. Didn't realize that Brexit = forced labour camps.
Maybe throw in the unpatriotic media as well....
Why do you find it such a abhorrent position to ask those that can work to work if work is available, when did this become such an unpalatable aspiration ?

It was the term 'would have to' that equates to forced labour. Just asking them to fill the positions is not a problem.
