There always are these jobs which cannot be filled by UK nationals on the wages offered. Hard work for minimum wage-no thanks is the reply you get. Hence the need for Eastern Europeans who will graft to get what is a better wage than they would receive at home. Seasonal job. make some money then return. Same in many agricultural sectors that need labour-chicken catchers, poultry processing, veg and fruit picking. |  | |  |

I think we've gone soft as a nation Prof.
75 years ago the whole nation was "digging for victory''
A very fussy, and "I'm too good for that job" nation we've become unfortunately.
Plus if we flew overseas for work now, how would we be received (if it was possible to fly)
Look at Gordon Ramsey down in Cornwall, he's getting shÃt , but if facts are correct he was already there before the lockdown. [Post edited 16 Apr 2020 10:09]

Watched an item on the news yesterday about Asylum seekers, relying on food give aways, surely these people could be used, pay them the living wage.
I'm sure that's better than what they are relying on now. |  |

I think it's very humane to make meals for asylum seekers, I just hope the elderly, sick and mobility limited have this as well. | | | |

Rich and complacent. Someone else can do that whilst I sit on my backside. Will be interesting in times of soaring unemployment if people will do these jobs when they truly need a job. All are physical and unpleasant. Even dealing with small numbers of chickens experimentally is hard going. | | | |

No. But a few months ago they only wanted professional workers coming into the country. Now they want the fruit pickers back. | |

You should always wash your fruit and vegetables
And after peeling give them all a good wash |  | | |

Why are the pickers so badly paid for what is hard work? What would happen if they had a 30% wage increase? I bet their wages are a small proportion of the final price paid by the consumer. Who’s profiting? [Post edited 16 Apr 2020 17:24]

We asked for pickers a few weeks ago. We couldn’t get enough people here who wanted to do it.
It was either fly people in or chuck away food and risk food shortages. | | | |

It's a fact, and for some reason there's a select few on here who get greatly annoyed by it! | | | |

I'll just check with Captain Tom to see how he voted and when he'd be available.
PS, once more for the hard of understanding, we didn't vote to leave Europe, we voted to leave the EU.
We get our fruit and veg delivered by Riverford, it's organic and rreally does taste better than the suermarket stuff, lasts longer too and yes, it gets washed. | |

Ay up continental drift seems to have put a shift on
If we have a choice why limit ourselves to Europe, Pangaea would be more egalitarian.
Failing that my vote goes for Oceania
Will the relocation of our landmass work like up.

I pictured it more like Dad's Army but with the Union flag arrows pushing the UK away from the European 'hordes' | |
