They seem happy to lose the farming vote.
EFRA select committee said they should allow in more seasonal workers and reduce the English language standard required (e.g.) to pack chicken, and cut meat.
Govt response (probably Home Office led rather than DEFRA) "wholly inadequate". "Automate, employ local people." They just don't get it. Ireland is recruiting meat cutters from Brazil.
Best start building chicken processing plants in housing estates when they plan new developments then. Maybe sell houses with no gardens at all and sell the land for grazing or arable - the bit these dipshits don't seem to get is that a lot of these jobs that need doing are where there are no people living - and given current fuel costs nobody is gonna want to take a job disembowelling chickens which involves a 50 mile a day round trip
