So, not all people are appropriate for such jobs as may be available.

Or not, if the government is to have its way - released prisoners are to be found work to save the cost of putting them back in prison, which would of course mean other job seekers would not get those jobs. Meanwhile, yet another excuse for not offering a job to someone.

Duh!

That would be the point wouldn't it? Are you a Daily Express reader?

Yep. Pick any arable farm in Lincolnshire. They're all absolutely crying out for workers every harvest, pay above NMW and every year are up the creek without a paddle if eastern europeans don't come over to do the work nobody here apparently wants to.

Hilarious.

People used to be very willing to go on working holidays to farmland and still would if the greedy farmers still paid the proper rate for the job. Instead the farmers knowingly offer less than the proper market rate as they know full well they can import cheap peasant labour from abroad, who will happily take the money and send it back to their third world homelands where it will be worth much more. (One of the many reasons why we should have nothing to do with the EU nightmare - thankfully now in its death throws.)


Other than the relative costs involved, it is no different from when the Canadian government used to run a scheme for British students to go and work on Canadian tobacco farms during the summer. The Canadians stopped that decades ago because Canada has a government that fosters the well-being of its own people whereas our corrupt liblabcons are far more concerned with making the rich richer.

How many of these fabled farm jobs are available and for how many weeks?

Where do you get this tosh? The theiving 'training' companies who dream it up as a marketing strategy to present to the guilty politicians and civil servants who have spent three decades systematically wrecking the economy?
