Exactly what I've said previously. Many of these jobs are where there's high employment or locations that aren't conducive  for people to temporarily move to. I'm just surprised Gnasher hasn't replied saying you know fuck all and posted some more links that he hasn't read.

I'm sure he'll follow him round the board calling him a Venky brothers shrill for the next decade though.

Well I do agree with Gnasher that Brexit has at least in the short to medium term changed the balance of power between the working class and employers but seasonal workers are an isolated example so not evidence of a trend. Whether brexit is a good thing for the whole economy is a different question and I don’t think we will know until 2030 at the earliest. I do think it’s ironic that people who voted for Brexit because of their fears of immigration have led to the creation of a points based system that will lead to more non European Immigration in the long term. I don’t think this consequence was fully explained at the time.

So you can't tell me why people won't work for £19/hr. Good to know.

The Liverpool way hurtles with increasing speed down the right wing track..the demonisation of the working class continues on here without so much as a raised eyebrow.

 

I think Cloggypops gave you a hint when you ridiculously claimed these poultry farms were paying 40 odd grand a year, ie short term work, possibly awful unsociable working conditions etc...

 

Every decade a different set of impoverished peoples get blamed for their fate, I remember it used to be 'lazy blacks' that was after 'the fucking Asians'  and before the ' single mothers sponging off the state' and off course the 'chavs who spend all day watching television with the blinds closed" ... one group in this country thats avoided ridicule is the top ten per cent wealthy bone idle parasites. and they're the cunts who legitimately deserve it.

The owner of a turkey farm was on the news last night explaining this phenomenon. He said it’s 4 - 6 weeks work at most and all the economically active locals (the farm was in Essex) already have full time jobs so won’t give them up for 6 weeks work irrespective of the rate. Obvious really. 

You'd think so, but on here the jury has decided the working class are just lazy cunts.

Boring.

 

You refuse to acknowledge what people were saying way back when about the complexities of these industries. Throwing around simplistic "pay them more" argument doesn't work does it because if it did you wouldn't need immigrants to save the good ol' Christmas dinner.

Except that'd not really what you said in your opening post on the subject is it?  You asked why people couldn't work for 40odd grand a year, you then implied they didn't want the work because they couldn't be bothered, you made no excuses over location or gave any logical reason why these posts remained unfilled bar to bring up some surreal story about your hardworking grandparents to imply a certain demograph of this generation are nothing but a bunch of lazy cunts.

You don't understand general mocking and irony do you.

£2500 per month to prep turkeys. That's £42,000 per year. And still it takes a foreign workforce to put Christmas dinner on people's tables.

 

All these Brexiteers are taking the fucking piss if they aren't willing to take up these manual  jobs for the equivalent of £42k, £10k higher than the average wage. Lazy fucking cunts.

 

 

But you forgot to mention the geographical problems, must have slipped your mind.

 

Its sadly telling your god awful fucking post above resulted in only two posters voicing condemnation and raising issue with the utter bullshit you tried to pass as truth.

No, I've mentioned geographical issues previously but you refused to understand that. So now I just ask why Brexiteers turn down £19/hr work when for years you've been saying it's just about pay. I'm keeping the mockery simple.

It's easily done.

 

As I've said all along, not everyone who supports Brexit is racist, but every racist supports Brexit.

Yeah OK I take your and Stigs point but I think the racist element is overplayed, especially when you look at by-election results. The Laurance Fox candidate threw a lot of money into that by-election and even with the Tory vote going awol the rent a gob still didn't get over 400 votes out of 38,000.. If you think Britain has issues with race/immigration then wait till you see the upcoming French elections, including one Michel Barnier, it'll make your eyes water.

Interesting we in the midst of record vacancies and we discussing struggling to fill fairly well paid jobs, when plenty thought the country would go to hell in a handcart after we left the EU, including the then Chancellor George Osborne, who's voice had a lot more clout than a bullshit message on a bus,

Wages will fall; wrong,   house prices will fall, wrong;    unemployment will rise; wrong.

If we're going to turn a blind eye to people punching down on people less fortunate than ourselves can I nominate the homeless for a festive kicking? Taking up valuable pavement space when people are trying to Christmas shop, 

 

 

I have to check with you, you do realise this is satire ?

It was originally that's why I ignored it and hence my 'many true words said in jest' response, then when Cloggs pulled him up on his figures he lied and backtracked about plucking the 45 a year figure our of his arse...

 

Anyway as its Christmas have some joy; this is great,

But a carpenter on £35K is now getting £45K, so that evens it all out.

It most certainly does, especially as more than a few of them shortfalls are overplayed or have little to do with Brexit; ie empty shelves? oh come on, fuel shortages? we ran a little low for a week.

 

Edit; I note low unemployment and record vacancies are off his list, maybe they not that important
