Does it say anywhere in the article (can't be arsed to read it), that
many UK people don't pick veg not because they don't want to, but they
can't *AFFORD* to. UKians have to pay UKian housing prices, Poles can
afford to come over hear and live in a caravan for three months and
earn enough to pay more than a years' rent back home.

Why do you think the traditional UK veg pickers were *children*? Ie,
people who lived in accommodation paid for by other people.

no - because they were available - others were working
