What trainable skills do you need to pick vegetables in the fields?

How to wrap up warm, perhaps.

I was think more along the lines of people who worked in factories


Where have we got immigrants working in factories here?

I take it you didn't see the Select Committees' report of their impromptu
trip to whathisname Ashley's company

OK, it's a warehouse doing packing and picking, not manufacturing, but they
are the sorts of jobs I was referring to

The report said that they encountered 100% new foreigners who didn't speak
very much English and they attributed that *fact* to the reasons why it is
that Ashely can get away with virtual slave labour wages and conditions.

Yes, I know that we can enforce a set of minimum conditions, but experience
is that it is hard for TPTB to enforce them. IMHO it's oh so much easier to
make sure that conditions improve by taking away the supply of workers
willing to work like slaves.
