there isnt an easy fixThe OPs post is misleading. High inflation due to leaving the single market/EU, is one thing, high inflation due to self imposed immigration controls is entirely fixable.
Well, we left the EU over two summers ago now. I cant remember there being any shortages of fruit and veg or massive price hikes because of Brexit, loss of cheap foreign slave labour and the so-called mountains of Brexit paperwork. Perhaps it's just my local supermarket that hasn't had any problem importing fresh fruit and veg at competitive prices which makes your argument seem rather weak.there isnt an easy fix
FOM allows access to fast, flexible itinerant workers.
Its cheap to get on an Easy Jet flight from eastern Europe, its not cheap and easy to to get on a flight from India, Pakistan or wherever you might think alternative seasonal workers might come from
the govt could fix the restriction on low pay low skill worker visas, but thats it
And there is no fix for: rule of origin checks, transit documents, sanitary and phytosanitary controls, custom declarations

brexit supporters cant climb down from their position, so they end up being forced to be dishonestmottie knows really, but he doesn't care.
oh dear, Motorbiking is desperately using a load of dishonest deflection arguments to distract from the massive failures of Brexit.I'm surprised the lefties on this forum like the idea of exploiting low paid workers. Crop picking shortages have been an issue long before we left the EU https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2007/may/28/immigration.foodanddrink
If Boris Johnson had come up with a plan to replace hard working British farm workers with cheap imported labour, the lefties would be frothing. I actually think its great for low paid people that there are difficulties filling low paid jobs. Guess what, things have to change, farmers either need to automate or pay decent wages and provide good living conditions.
Supermarkets are more to blame than Brexit
Who picked British fruit and veg before migrant workers?

Yeah, yeah. Blah, blah. I've seen the told-you-so stories that you and other whining losers post up but what I am saying, TAKE NOTE, is that I haven't seen any of these food shortages or high prices in MY supermarkets.I am so sorry your google doesnt work
