I think the Government played a blinder

Businesses complaining about this that and the other, virtually demanding we let cheap foreign labour back into the UK, and releasing carefully worded statements to the media knowing full well the media will hype it up it, playing on the resulting public outcry against the Government for ruining Christmas.

In the end, the Government conceded by announcing foreign HGV drivers and 'poultry' workers would be given 3 month visas to get us through the alleged 'crisis' . . . also knowing full well there won't be much of an uptake on the offer

VAR says no foul
