Reporter Morland Sanders finds a shadowy workforce of North Koreans in mainland Europe who could end up working in UK fields and factories post-Brexit

Even way back in the early 80's big companies like JW Van Gueest farms were employing ' students' from Morocco and such like planting/ harvesting veg. Nothing new. Brexit will make no difference IMO. Where big companies/ supermarkets are concerned, where there's a will, there's a way.

 

[Sussex Martin]

Being in the 'garden of England' all my life we are used to seeing foreign students on special visas working on fruit and veg farms well before we joined the EU. We joined the EU and they then didn't need the visa, now we are leaving we can revert to the former way of doing things, simple.

Whatever happens we need foreign labour , 60% of brits are bone idle.

Just 60?

I took the afternoon off today. I've finished my cereals and it was bloody hot again - now I feel lazy

Not at all, the British workforce is ready and waiting to takeover the job.

I told a Polish tractor driver similar today , I said he was lucky most Brits are bone idle or else he wouldn't have a job

Charming. I wonder what he thought of that?

Possibly that British employers of foreign labour are lucky the wages they pay are worth so much more back home - for who on earth would want to come and work their guts out in a job with no future for peanuts?

plenty of british people use to, they had to, now they don't have to as they get given money, so they don't

The trouble with a lot of folk is they haven't had it hard enough yet

 

[Osca]

Ah, so everything will be OK when people DO have to work their guts out for peanuts, then? (Actually plenty still do, if you look around.)

Admittedly there are some that haven't had it hard enough, but they aren't the ones who used to work as casual farm labour.

 

[Muck Spreader]

So many Brit's nowadays only appear to aspire to some meaningless office job with a grandiose job title in the service sector that benefits neither them or the country, but just allows their corporate bosses to accrue massive wealth to stash overseas.

Won't hurt them, teach them the value of it

Days must drag if you don't have a job?

He thought it was funny and agreed , the reality is 99.9% of British farm workers wont do the hard graft , theres no need to for minimum wage or just above as family tax credits (which many farmers also draw) and other state paid benefits make life easier laying on the sofa .

How stupid are you? 99.9% is 999 out of every 1,000.

You have made a statement that only one in one thousand British farmworkers will do "hard graft" as you put it. Please go to your next nearest mart, or Ag Workers union meeting and say that in a loud voice. I will not send flowers to you afterwards.

In fact, to make it even easier, tell me where you live. I will find a farmworker who lives nearby and give him and you the same tasks. You beat him and I give you £100. He beats you and you give me £100. I will not be there, but I am sure I can find someone I trust who will be my representative.

Game to try it?

Try paying him, pro rata, what his wage is worth to a British person and see if he laughs at that.

We employ upto a1000 immigrants seasonally, four English turned up once and failed to complete a full morning when they realized they had only earned around £20 compared with around £70 earned by the immigrants, we still get the occasional English potential turn up for manual labour, NONE last a week, machine operator's are a different matter, they usually hack the 12-14 hour days for a year or so , I can't take on challenges as it's not my business. It appears you are the stupid one as I'm quoting facts where you are quoting fantasises.
