I have a facebook friend that is a farmer, who posted a plea to the nation for soft-fruit pickers.
They were generous enough to offer below living wages, further garnered to pay for living in a shitty tin shack.

Not all those jobs are like that. But then it is basically legal exploitation if they don't set fair wages and living conditions for the people they fly in.

The consensus on the car forums that I frequent is that this problem (lack of fruit pickers) is directly a result of being too soft, and that if we cut Universal Credit payments then unemployed people would (literally) be starved into fruit picking jobs.
