That was brutal, telling him he's a lying shitbag straight to his face.
you have laugh at the typical make do and mend replies(even well meaning ones) why don't you do this, why don't you do that.
It's fucking back breaking work and there aren't herds of brits on hand with an insatiable craving for courgettes of all things.
Fantastic.
If only the rest of his days could be filled with people slapping him in the face with such hard truth. And the same for Johnson, Gove, Mogg, the lot of the fuckers.
Literally back-breaking work. It's crazy with all the stressing about safe working environments under Covid in the world of white-collar jobs, out in the fields, forcing workers to wreck their bodies for poverty wages is just business as usual.
I can't lie, I'd pay good money to watch the whole lot of them get eviscerated like this.
Even better if they had the right to reply and every word could be dissected for the utter mendacious toss that they would be.
They don't care, though, you can see he's probably smirking to himself, he knows she's right, he's got his exit plan, he'll get well payed after fucking up the country.
Ah, but when I was a kid, we picked fruit etc. people are just lazy.
Yeah, back braking work nowhere near were you live, average to poor wages and less if you commute or pay for accommodation. Why would they......but back in the day!
Yeah, you can see it in his face. Doesn't care and nothing will make his life worse, paid and lordship in due time.
I've been back in the UK for a few weeks, and I know covid is making things funky, but lack of stock in the supermarkets is noticeable.
It wasn't like this in France, and I spoke to my wife back in France and she said shit's normal there.
I really want some lamb steaks, I've been to two Sainsbury's, one Waitrose and one co-op and they're all out. Sliced Gherkins were the same! And just generally not many on the shelves, even when there is stock...
Wanted some plain t-shirts from H&M - hardly any in large, was the same in Next too.

In my dream scenario they'll have no let out. They have to explain themselves to God, or some shit.
Oh god that smug fucking grin on his face. I bet secretly she wanted to tear across that desk and fucking punch him.
If the pay is high enough sure. I'd not be surprised if it has to be quite a bit higher than pre Brexit though…

Hey look at that money down the toilet and rejoining things we shouldn't have left.

Supermarkets will import from places where they don't pay better.
I've read stories of them trying it, but it still not working (it's really, really shit work)... but also, the short answer is that eventually the business isn't going to be competitive, and will fail.
People like to talk a good game about paying more for British / quality etc, but the reality is often different.
I think the problem with getting people to work in these places, it's a shit job, enough people don't live locally and even if they travelled, it eats into their average wage by staying in accommodation or travel expenses and some people have other responsibilities, they can't go pick fruit and veg far from home all the time, it's just not a viable job for most people. You could argue some teens or young adults could do it for a bit over the holidays but they either have another job or other responsibilities or don't fancy living in a caravan while earning an average income that could be had more locally. It's not that people are inherently lazy though there is some lazy fucks but it just doesn't fit most people were they live.
Alright how about this. Whole classes are being kept home because one kid has a positive covid test. Fruit picking is outdoor work with lots of space for social distancing. Children don't expect or deserve proper pay, and they have loads of energy and supple spines.
Covid cases are going through the roof and it's going to disrupt a lot of schools. We can use this to our advantage!
It could be a long-term solution after the pandemic. Instead of sending covid bubbles to work the fields, send classes from schools in deprived areas. Those kids have no chance in life anyway and £3/hour would probably really cheer them up.

I don't agree with using old people though. My 71 year old uncle fought for this country in WWI and II and is in no way responsible for this worker shortage except for that one time he voted for it.

Using children is a way to get back to a time when Britannia ruled the waves 🤓
Is that 12 billion just brexit preparations since 2016? God damn boggles the mind. Don't even want to think what the real cost is if you factor in opportunity cost as well
Don't have the fact on the link but I'm sure people have said we've basically lost more money than we put in the whole 40+ years we were in it already. I would guess after Covid settles and recovery starts we should see were the UK settles compared to pre Brexit and what the consequences are.
Except, of course, that WW veterans were overwhelmingly anti-Brexit. #notalloldpeople
Why would any kid agree to back breaking work for what's still incredible shit pay compared to literally any other way you could earn money in your country?
You don't need to tell me about all the sacrifices the 70 year old WW2 veterans have made #wewonthewar
I wasn't expecting anyone to be asked, don't children just do as they are told?

The UK unreliable? Perish the thought!
www.theguardian.com
UK says it wants to substantially rewrite Northern Ireland Brexit protocol
Blueprint for alternative arrangement published as sources say protocol was flawed at conception
www.theguardian.com
I guess now that the UK is free from the chains of EU and its pesky insistence on so-called "human rights", the UK can embrace its industrial past again and reintroduce child labour.
Gotta admit, didn't think people were so fond of Victorian England that they'd want to go back to its labour laws too.
lol, kinda funny that just after i wrote that, Boris is on about getting 6M EU people in the UK to pick Cornish daffodils(perhaps they don't want to)
Exactly, i don't think anyone asked kids if they wanted to go up chimneys or down mineshafts and it didn't do them any harm.

It's kinda funny even if the EU agreed to rewrite it, the UK would be like mmmmm cake all over again etc. It's so absurd.
Boris and co are signing shit deals left and right and crying about stuff like this but they won't be lumped with it long term when the chickens come home to roost. Playing for headlines and votes in the short term, nothing more.

Aye, it's Brexit unicorn border time again.
Get Brexit undone to face the exact same conundrum all over again.
It's pretty obvious that the UK signed the NI protocol to hit their own ridiculous "Get Brexit Done" deadline and win the election. Now they want to actually do the negotiation they should have done 2 years ago.
At some point, the EU has to say "no". Using potential violence in NI as a cudgel is pretty low, even for Brexiteers. Still, the EU can't keep on kowtowing to the UK demands, they're going to draw a line in the sand and I expect this will be it.

I know this is what year is it, but are they really just clueless, know it's unworkable but just can't admit it or won't apply the rules because of the reason of having to follow EU standard rules without having a say or blow up the economy yet they want to be free to do what they want but won't go for it because it blows up the economy and are just doing what, definition of insanity, expecting a different outcome or they want the EU to fuck us right off so the UK can be totally free but blame it on the EU instead of saying fuck off themselves and going mad max and the blame squarely on the UK for that. I feel this goes beyond the NIP because we haven't had the full whammy of trade changes yet.
I honestly don't get it. What's the end game and plan.
