So ive seen a couple of news items in the last couple of weeks indicating that maybe 90% of some crops will rot this spring/summer harvest as farmers cant get british people to do the harvesting. Few recruits are being flown in from Romania and Croatia as they are happy to do the work.
Surely there should be something done by the govt. Maybe get the low catagory prisoners out to do their weekly exercise? How about the 6 million furloughed people out there. If its safe for them to work and its within easy walking/cycling distance govnt could "strongly hint" that people being paid up to £2500 a month to sit on their ars*s can help out maybe once a week?
Before anyone has a go back at me , yes i am in the fortunate position of being able to do my job from home but am actually working about a 50 hour week now so no i cant volunteer..
Not a nag, just would hope people would look at themseves and thank the country by helping out in return for them being paid to sit at home
