BREXIT

May 26, 2019 11:50

I think it is safe to say everyone in UK is totally fed-up with our government's inability to solve "Brexit" (UK leaving EU). In the campaign before the 2016 Referrendum (we could vote "leave" or "remain") politicians and a variety of self-appointed "experts" told the people of UK a great many lies, half-truths and pure conjecture.

Oh on the one hand it’s funny and all that, on the other hand this is desperation, cry for customers.

That is the situation exactly. People stay home for entertainment, they buy alcohol in supermarket where it is cheaper, people can no longer smoke in pubs. Many pubs play loud music which prevents people conversing (though might attact younger customers). Social habits are changing.

The correct word, I believe, would be "sabotage."

As for "menial jobs nobody in UK wanted to do," that universally means, "jobs nobody in a given country wanted to do for slave wage," the salary that doesn't pay your bills and would force you to live in a homeless shelter, a sleeping bag in the streets, or suchlike. To compete with people from the Third World is to reduce your living standards to those of the Third World.

Exactly the case. People in UK on State Benefit or low wage will never work as fruit picker. Any money they earn will result in equivalent reduction of Benefit or Benefit stopped completely. Foreign fruit pickers are often 6-8 per old caravan with basic wash/toilet/laundry facilities in a temporary building nearby. Work in a 1km long polytunnel might start at 04:00. However as the workers realise it is a temporary job and compared with "home" they earn a better wage, they find the work attractive and nearly all send money home.

A Russian friend asked me about UK farmers employing E.European, Ukraine and other nationals on these temporary contracts. I told him the details and he replied "Ah! it is like our system, we employ Tajiks" (I am left to assume if it happens at all that Tajik farmers must then employ North Koreans).
