Who wrapped the pigs in blankets before we joined the EU? Can we force the students to do it like we did in the old days?

"Pigs and blankets are a very labour intensive thing to make and we're short of labour," he said.

And so it came to pass.

In October, the British Meat Association (BMA) warned that pigs in blankets may be in short supply this year due to a lack of seasonal EU workers across UK meat plants.
