I saw a program a while back where they ran teams of British and EU
workers side by side (crop picking, building etc) and the Europeans
won out in every case.

Maybe when the current good ones go, we don't want to do it ourselves
and they get the second level Europeans in, the Brexiteers will
realise the extent of the damage they have inflicted on all of us.

There's no reason why we shouldn't import workers from anywhere in the
world if it suits us, once we regain our sovereignty. By the same token,
will be better able to keep the dross out.

Or maybe they will stiffen up the benefits system and force lazy UK
lifetime scroungers onto the owners and managers of farms, factories
and the NHS?

Eastern European workers have lower pay expectations. Increase the pay
to UK levels and UK workers will apply. Yes, veg will be slightly more
expensive. So what? It's stupidly cheap now.

Oh hang on, that wouldn't be acceptable to the Brexiteers ... they are
still 'foreigners'. ;-(

Brexiteers are all in favour of foreigners, as long as they are the ones
that bring benefits to us. The skilled, intelligent, hard working ones.
We aren't though in favour of foreigners that want to exploit our social
security and health systems. We want more immigration of good people and
less immigration of deadlegs.

When I was at school I picked potatoes. The first day was hard, but you got used to it. The BBC clip was a pointless exercise, perhaps if they had done it for a week they would have got into the swing of it.
