I think it’s got a lot to do with a good few generations having it as an option because of freedom of movement and people willing to come here with a different work ethic to take up the slack.

Yeah but he never said (inserts link to an unrelated speech eleventy billion times while ignoring the link to the speech where he did say it).

Maybe he took on his bat form, got eaten by a pangolin, who got eaten by a Chinese man...

Suddenly I feel like watching The Shining. We want to play with you forever.

I bet she’s a wet nurse as well. Bitty!

I blame the management. Lions and the odd racist led by donkeys.

Being angry over trivial things?

The most patronising thing I’ve heard from any mp in the last few years is Rees-Mogg going on about Brexit putting shoes on feet as if we should be grateful for the basic necessity of shoes, not that it was ever an issue pre Brexit.

We? Farms are private companies. Stands to reason that a private company flew them in. Not sure at all what point you’re trying to make there when the “we” is clearly the U.K. The world is about to change, no one can predict what to accurately but the fact is at this moment in time we are...

They’re the last of the boomers, boomers were born mid 40’s to mid 60’s meaning that the majority have already retired. So when you’re talking about a percentage of 50-64 year olds struggling to find employment you can’t equate the experience to a percentage of a percentage of a percentage of...

Just watched some of the coverage of what Trump had to say last night and he’s morphing into a Hitler or Mussolini parody.

We had people who applied for a job. Have you always took every job you’ve applied for? You also seem to ignore that 25000 have applied but the farming industry needs 70000 seasonal workers so we’re still in trouble without the Eastern European’s.

The 50-64 age group barely equates to a third of baby boomer generations.

Board and lodgings is usually taken out of what you earn from piecework too. Simple fact is that most British people won’t move temporarily to another part of the country to take home less than minimum wage (legally) when they have the option to stay at home and take home at least the minimum...

Simple fact is that successive governments have been trying to do this for decades and your over simplified view of the world is actually very immature.

You volunteering then?

There was a time when European countries used to import British workers too. Anyone remember the sitcom Auf Wiedersehen Pet. Had a couple of uncles who went to work in Germany myself when I was a kid.

Do we actually have enough slack in the British workforce to make it up though? We have had record lows in unemployment for a good while now and agri jobs have a lot of competition. People have choices and the right to choose whatever job they A) want to apply for and B) what they want to accept.

One of my daughters had to spend a couple of days in Walsgrave last year (nothing serious) and the first thing that dawned on me while sitting in a corridor for 3 hours waiting for her to come out of theatre was who is going to clean the hospitals after Brexit?
