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

[Vinty]

So, Vinty, do you think some good will come of this fruit picking by way of our young people taking an interest in their country and learning to appreciate it?

It all depends how the government presents it to its target audience.
Its works for countries like Israel, they have kids coming from all over the world to work in their Kibbutz's.
My sister worked in a Kibbutz in Israel years ago, she didn't get paid much but she says she had a wonderful time.
Even picking Turnips can be character forming for young people if you allow them to get together at night to strum guitars and sing Kumbaya around a campfire.
Cider and a bit of promiscuity can also help.
Bring back sort of temporary national service for youngsters, confiscate their drugs and knives and send them out into the fields.

It's probably decades since andy last had a conversation with a child of school age. The poor old duffer gets his daily life updates from the Daily Wail. No wonder he's extraordinarily bitter towards everything.

Exploiting children under the age of 11 is probably not in the interests of anyone.

Prisoners would be better if it didn't cost so much.

You should have more sympathy, reading the Daily Mail can be addictive.
I am talking from experience, there is nothing like your heart beating in anticipation of the headline in the early edition of the Mail which was always guaranteed to give you a rush of outraged indignation straight to the head.
Headlines like "Man finds Romanians living in his roofspace" (this turned out to be a true story actually) is one example.
For some reason i found the paper edition of Mail more addictive than the online version which didn't do anything for me.
I eventually had to stop reading the Mail when i drove through a red light while reading the mail which i had placed on the passenger seat, the story which got me so angry that i almost crashed into a bus was some yarn about no cells for British criminals in British jails because the foreigners had gotten them first.
After that experience i knew i had a problem.
So please have some Sympathy for andy.

Not at all! Another benefit of the lockdown is that, because borders are closed, immigration will have stopped!
