Don’t cut off our supply of farm workers



You have to laugh at the irony of the article but it does show that for even the most blind of the Hope & Faith brigade, reality does intrude now and again.
What a load of tosh, ianch! I don't know any leavers who prattle on about empire or even how good it used to be. It's all about the nation we want to be - enterprising, making our own laws and trade deals, and free of the shackles of the undemocratic and bureaucratic EU.

As for agricultural workers, I don't see how that needs to be affected by Brexit at all. It will be up to us how many and of what type we allow into this country. Targeted immigration is what we want, not uncontrolled hordes of people who all want a piece of us.
