First they came for the Kiwis...

"Kiwi fruit work is physically demanding, commands minimum wage and requires workers to relocate on a temporary basis, making it an unappealing employment option for many New Zealanders, including those living on welfare benefits."

Next thing you know it'll be our own British strawberries?

But no worries here.

Our 'own people' (brexiteers?) will surely be clamouring to do the jobs that 'johnny/jane foreigners' have been apparently taking away from them all these years... won't they?

No, all the lazy ****ers will stay on the dole until they are made to earn it.

 

[Notch7]

No, I think its because all the kiwis and Aussies are over here working in bars

If you want to stay in Aus or NZ on a Temp/student Visa you have to do 3 months on a fruit picking farm to earn a longer stay and extend your visa.

With that experience should these youngsters who apparently want to stay in the EU start picking Strawberries once they are home ???

i didn't vote couldn't care less
but what i do know is people didn't vote to leave because of the eastern Europeans we need them (the ones that want to work)
Europe are scared that they will go back putting there unemployment levels back up and stopping a lot of money that they send home
we have a lot of Lithuanians ,Romanians that work for us they all agree with what the people chose
but re-moaners like to stir and make these stupid threads constantly new Zealand will always have back packers to pick there fruit

Yes they did, rightly or wrongly.

Dumb quitters.
