Farmers tell Gove: lack of migrant workers now 'mission critical'
The number of EU27 workers coming to Britain are declining, partly because of Brexit and the weaker pound, but also because of improvement in employment opportunities in eastern European countries such as Poland, from where many harvest workers came.
Farmers have been demanding a return to the seasonal agriculture workers scheme, which was scrapped in 2013, to allow the hiring of pickers from non-EU countries this summer.
I am glad that our farmers are suffering. Every field seemed to have a brexit poster up during the referendum.
And now they are begging for non EU "darkies" to be imported to help pick their shitty fruit and veg. You couldnt make it up. Well they were warned.
