    I call tulip as usual

    However, since Covid and the end of free movement following Brexit, the business only has around 400 flower pickers.

          enough money to support yourself in the UK - you’ll usually need to have at least £1,270 available,

            How much in France, Australia & USA where our citizens go to pick fruit or help at summer camp?

            Why are remainers desperate to race to the bottom?

              You are comparing backpackers and students who earn something during their holiday with people who pick fruit to earn money keep their families alive?
              I wonder who is desperate

                I suspect the desperate ones are the cheap labour we exploit to pick our food.

                You seem to think we need to use cheap labour from Romania because you believe they need the charity. Other MDCs use college kids who want to see the host country. They are a quite different propositions.

                The end game of course is automation and that is probably where we need to head.
