Quote:
Farmers are being forced to leave millions of apples, and many other fruits and vegetables, rotting in orchards and fields because of a shortage of workers.
One hundred tonnes of fruit has gone unpicked in Britain already this season, meaning more than 16 million apples so far have been left to rot at the peak of harvest season due to a Brexit-led employment slump.

'Farmers are being forced...'
Serious question:
One of the Brexit windfalls was literally that seasonal jobs would once again be open to residents. What went wrong? Could they not hire domestic labour temps? Would it be too expensive? I'm sure through clever marketing plenty of proud Britons would be available?
Is there still time?
