Right...they're really letting the Brits down. Many of those people wanted them to leave. What the problem is?

I like that they are going back to Poland though. Glad to know they aren't abandoning their country :]

Chris Kaufman, a national secretary responsible for agricultural workers at Unite, Britain’s biggest union, says: “Large numbers of migrant workers from the enlarged EU have been keeping the food industry ticking over for several years, because they have been prepared to work for the exceptionally low wages paid by the industry. But that pool of workers is shrinking, as hard-working migrants return home.”

Then they should pay people a liveable wage to give the workers (whether they be local or not) a fighting chance of surviving.

And then people like you will choose cheaper foreign products what will ruin their whole business and their workers will lose jobs and will make nothing...

This is not news.
The farmers say the same thing year after year, to ensure more work permits are given out.

Main problem was that it was TO MUCH, so now there will be less. I hope tensions will decrease.

The shops are full of those already and have been for years.

I appreciate that most people (including me) would rather have a rubbish paid job than no job at all.
