| Are there any examples of medium scale or larger farming operations in the UK that employ this policy? If not does that not give you pause for thought that it may actually not be impossible to fill seasonal farming vacancies with domestic labour? I'm sure you will correct me if I am wrong but the reality is that British people with the work ethic similar to the overseas workers that farms employ already have jobs which are not seasonal and therefore wouldn't take this kind of work. Employment levels in the UK are high and of the pool of remaining domestic labour most are either unsuitable for the work or unable to take on a seasonal job in a remote location. The majority of people employed in British agriculture are British but farms have a critical need for extra labour at particular times of year. I am not aware that even this current Government disputes that the gap needs to be filled by immigrant workers. I'll repeat my question from earlier - what evidence do you have that the farmer interviewed in the Countryfile programme is a crook? If you are making a unsubstantiated slur against a person simply because his actual experiences don't accord with your absolute belief in your own opinions that would be pretty shabby. |
