To be working illegally like that would mean they were earning
significantly less than the minimum wage. I wonder how many EU
citizens are prepared to do that?


What's minimum wage in Lithuania?


Irrelevant. They'd be living here, with UK costs, and trying to send
money home, harder now that the £ is weaker.


It works for the Lithuanians crop-picking in the fens.

And the standard of living isn't all that low in Lithuania.


Average wage 616 Euro a month versus 2,140 Euro here.
