The labourers on these farms had awful treatment. It is no wonder no one wanted to work them.
Extortionate rent to stay in a touring caravan with 4 other adults all summer with no AC, saturated humidity and working 12 hours under a sun which burns all day and most the night.
Compare that to Holland where workers would have an automated rolling parasol to work under with a bench to sit on so they wouldn’t have to stoop. And accommodation that met basic human needs with amenities such as proper running water, power and waste disposal.
Shutting down slave plantations on our own shores was probably the greatest Brexit bonus of all. That seasonal workers conditions had slipped to 18th century slavery was a great shame.
