Fruit picking? Are they f***ing serious?

[emmcan]

So whichever hapless muppet got dragged out today to do the daily lying to the gullible has suggested that furloughed workers could br picking fruit.

Fuck me, how fucking badly run is this shitshow?

The reason that we have had a two decades of migrant workers doing these jobs is because British people are too lazy and incompetent to do them.

And now they expect furloughed workers to head out into the fields and get their hands dirty?

It will happen, in a fashion, as they will just stop paying money to people who refuse to work, but it will be an appalling form of slave labour.

I remember looking for seasonal work 20 years ago and despite being somewhere semi rural with farms I never saw any picking jobs in any Job Centre. Ever. - it was the flea-ridden shittty factory job for me over the summer.

But then picking jobs were almost never advertised in English or to British people - and I would have been an ideal candidate for a picking job then!

And with that I kill the thread.

Things is what are the conditions for living? I'd expect basic but you should not be having to queue for ages to toilet/bathe/eat nor should you be getting reamed in your pay for it.
