Brexit isn't to blame. This shit was always going to hit the fan at some stage as the EU improved its economic position.
Anyway, a whole load of Afghans can now be offered all sorts of work.
And Brexit is much more than protecting the likes of Nando's.

These vacancies haven't just appeared... they've been needing staff across agriculture and food processing for months. Why would the british public who appear to have made it clear that they dont want to do this type of work
suddenly say 'oh, go on then....' never mind that most people wouldn't pass their HGV licence....
Brexit IS PARTIALLY to blame for what we're seeing at the moment.
You can't just implement higher wages for obvious economic reasons.
Unless you're going to substantially reform the benefits system so it acts as a safety net rather than as a lifestyle choice as it does to a section of claimants the only choice is to import labour into the country
