trade vet 702 Posted June 15, 2021 Just watching the new GB News channel.There is such a shortage of fruit and veg pickers that the growers are now offering £20 an hour for 45 hour week. ( equates to about £1100 p/w PAYE )I doubt the Cazam guys at Peterborough will be impressed with that.The old story with the job,you are going well then something comes out of the woodwork to bite you. .

Halfpenny 114 Posted June 15, 2021 Had high hopes for GB News but its more like a student TV station. Most of the time the 'reporters' don't know what to say. And the report about paying fruit pickers £20/hour was pure bollox. Some Eastern Euripeans have gone home but not that many... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

metcars 397 Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) I understand they are still shipping Eastern European pickers over! Laying on special planes? £20 per hour is fine, but the commute is tough, unless you live in a van? GB news? Seriously? Our ‘TV’ usually unpicks this stuff forensically. Funded by wealthy elites who believe there’s a gap in the market for programmes railing against cultural elites who impose their views on ordinary Britons. Its main backers include the US TV group Discovery, the Dubai based investment fund Legatum and the brexit-funding hedge fund boss sir Paul Marshall? OK if you like that sort of thing?

All about freedom of choice though isn't it? I don't get why people care so much about what others choose to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
