By now I wonder if you are just trolling.
"Just more fear-mongering over Brexit." Those jobs are gone, you can split hairs over the numbers yes, but it is not good news is it?
"fears of Brexit" yes by the business owners. And it is explained why, it is a staffing issue for them. Who do you think they talked to, 1700 Sun readers?
It makes it clear in the article that it will be hard to get seasonal UK workers. So, some businesses are packing up/closing.
Would other businesses take the place? Yes, but they won't hire UK workers due to Brexit. So there will be job losses for UK workers.
Brexit was sold as a low-risk project, not a "oh well job losses" project.
Show me some actual job gains that offset all the losses.
