cabbages maybe all folk could be eating in the not to distant future Wolfy.
It says a lot about the psyche of a lot of English people that we need to get people in from overseas to do those jobs whilst we have unemployment. Do local unemployed see themselves as too good for that sort of work?

It says a lot about the psyche of a lot of English people that they thought we would be better outside the EU than we would be in it without a shred of evidence that that would be the case.
After the EU referendum the Isle of Man saw quite a few Europeans leave.It meant that the locals had to pick up the low end menial, decorating and waiting jobs. Only they demanded higher wages to do so.Inflation jumped to 6%.

Of course the massive irony here is that even IF EU immigration does reduce it will simply increase migration from the Commonwealth! So, not only will we have just as many migrants but even more of them will have different coloured skin! That’s sure to send the racists into a rage!

Do local unemployed see themselves as too good for that sort of work?If the locals thought they were 'too good' to pick cabbages then surely they would welcome foreign immigrants in to do that work? But clearly they don't.This is also something I have wondered for a while with this 'points based system'. If your 'points based system is only designed to allow highly skilled workers into the country - who is going to do the hard rubbish jobs?
