The EU debate - Part III

Quite simply, Kustard, some English people struggle with their native language, let alone a foreign one.

You're obsessed with Poles and Romanians. Those working in the hospitality industry and more liable to need to speak French, German, Spanish, Cantonese.

 

I travelled round France a lot in the 80s, picking fruit. All the unemployed Spaniards back then were in France, picking peaches and cherries for the French farmers who, thanks in part to the CAP, could afford to pay a decent rate. Meanwhile the Spanish farmers paid their own seasonal workers a pittance. Those where exactly the sort of anomolies the EU was supposed to address.

Incidentally, I also spent a summer picking apples in Kent. Those English farms were the worst payers of the lot. And the farmers themselves were mostly large scale and pretty wealthy.

The point is, France found a way to pay their seasonal workers a fair days pay, while preserving small farms and their rural traditions. No peaches rotted on the trees. Solutions are always possible if the will exists to find them.

 

Oranges are so cheap here this time of year they virtually give them away. €1 for 3kgs in the market. You'd probably get them cheaper if you haggle. How a farmer is making any profit at those prices, I don't know. The only answer I can see, is for a lot of farmers to stop growing them...

 

Plenty of builders etc seeking work, who are undercut from cheap foreign labour.
I would rather pay more to build a hospital with quality British labour than cheap foreign labour.

 

That's quite a big jump to assume cheaper foreign labour will be lower quality. Are you basing it on anything? (Rhetorical question)

 

One thing about France; the food ain't cheap. But I don't see why food should be cheap really.

The race to the bottom in prices benefits no one in the end, certainly not the consumer who usually is also an employee or a producer.

 

Who said it would be of lower quality, You assume to much, bit like Stan, maybe you are one of the same?

 

All,

I've only ever posted twice on this entire forum, I think, but the merriment of this festive season has drawn me to post again.

I would like to thank everyone that has contributed to the 3x threads as you have all got me through many a tiresome afternoon.

The abuse and complete lack of understanding by some people has been riotous to read.

Merry ****ing Christmas to you all.
You bunch of obnoxious, racist, petty, discourteous, mis-informed, xenophobic, prejudiced, intolerant ****tards!

 

And a merry ****ing Christmas to you too. Ya ****.

 

To be fair, one or two of the comments from leave voters have been bad too.

 

You aren't bright enough to try that.
