It's self-selecting. It takes drive just to migrate, let alone to do
the work.


Quite. It would seem many UK born unemployed won't travel a few miles
for work - let alone several hundred.


Do you have any idea of the cost of transport for even a few miles. A
friends niece only lived 8 miles from where she was going to be employed
but there was no public transport so had to take out a loan to buy a car
for her first job, this was up north in staffordshire.


Why dio you think employers supply sheds for fruit pickers ?


No need to tell me, Dave. Tell those who think any old unemployed from
anywhere should be forced to take those jobs.
Except their family and friends. Obviously.
