Fruit and veg ‘will run out’ unless Britain charters planes to fly in farm workers from Europe

Labour camps then.

Socialist.

Kibbutz work well.... Seeing where we are I cant see why it can not work.

We need pickers. The professional pickers are mainly stuck in their own country. Some with their children

We need pickers. We have the unemployed we have students, we have furlough workers. If there is a call to serve your country
Im sure there will be volunteers who would like to earn a few bob.


We need pickers. The government and the farmers can lay on temporary accommodation and facilities.

It's not hard why make such a big deal.

I wasnt talking about this covid period, I was talking about the simplisitic idea where people think if there are unemployed and there are jobs, that is a problem instantly solved

and yes it is a big deal when fools think all unemployed are lazy scroungers. Some are, most are not.

What do you think we should do now?

I gather they're disappearing now as the younger generations aspire to better things. Great concept though and probably communism in it's purest form. I can't remember the exact figures but it was something like 10% of the population were responsible for 90% of GDP such was the efficiency.
I lived on one for about 9 months in the 70's, picking fruit, working in the cotton fields, milking cows, tending my small marijuana plantation in a secret location up on the Golan Heights, turned out it wasn't that secret because the Israeli army discovered it. Any spare time was mainly taken up with drinking, shagging, and keeping my head down when questions were asked about marijuana plantations.

Usual drivel

the DWP wont do that, it doesnt have resources and it will cost more than it does now.


Stop being childish.

Try and debate like an adult for once

You are typical of RWR, as soon as you are challenged you resort to these silly 'appeal to extremes' attacks.....its because you havent thought your argument through, its just uninformed pub talk.

As usual...We disagree

You mentioned them... Not me...So I am an extreme RWR socialist now then...Top Line Gal

 

[durhamplumber]

you dont think there is a transport and accommodation issue?

No...Buses...hostels...sorted..If you are young,able bodied...etc....no work = no pay...As opposed to your flawed, fertile breeding ground for telling them to stop at home..They end up isolated,depressed.anxious..alcohol,,drug dependant, long term unemployed and no good to man nor beast....THE Notch cretinous solution.

 

[durhamplumber]

people public money not to work whilst there is work available for them is morally wrong and just plain stupid

Absolute Top line,common sense,accurate.Unless you are Notchy

 

[durhamplumber]

Notch criticises Boris yet the logistics of moving a few thousand people from Durham to Canterbury blows his braincell!!!!!!

I went to 3 or 4 about 2013..
Still working as was apart from some would travel out to work. Great communities, I wish I did what you did when I was young.
In Australia back packers, students, and pensioners all work the farms. Its a great social experience. So I'm sure there will be an abundance of people who would rather work on a farm rather than rotting at home.

It's a concept that could work here on a smaller scale, and not that different to the Londoners whose summer holiday was hop picking.

These are exceptional times. Like Ive said a lot of good will come out of this Sh¡t. Organised right we could all be on a winner

Isn't half the fun going overseas and seeing new cultures?

My only reason for going to a kibbutz was because I thought the weather would be nice and I'd seen a picture in a magazine of an Israeli girl in army uniform.
