Didn't we vote a few years ago because people felt like foreigners in their own country and foreigners were nicking all our jobs?
Didn't the current Government have something to do with it?

Some people can't seem to tell the difference between seasonal workers and immigrants. You can't make a full time job out of fruit picking unless you follow the seasons round Europe, which is what some of these guys will be doing.

Even now with many people looking for short term work, I can almost guarantee the half of them wouldn't show up for the second day once they discovered the reality of the job was a world away from a Sunday afternoon stroll round the local pick-your-own.

I wonder how many pick your own sites will survive this pandemic??

There is news that North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un is dead. It could just be fake news as no-one knows for certain.

There's talk of a botched operation. A source in Japan says he's now in a vegatative state after the operation. Chinese doctors have been sent to North Korea.
A Hong Kong satellite station says that the 36 year old is already dead.

Is it news or fake news

No doubt trump will declare it fake news.....

Good or bad news?

The stories about Kim Jong Un first popped up around a week ago. Let's hope the mad little Bastard is suffering as much as the North Korean people are.

Even if he is dead we'll never know. They'll just have a lookalike pretend to be him from now on

^ You'll notice if Kim Jong-Un is dead, as the person ready to over is his sister 31 year old Kim Yo-Jong.

But Kim Jong-Un must be OK as Donald Trump has said that the story has been made up by CNN.

The first female dictator in modern history & before the Unites States gets a female leader

There are still lots of conflicting reports regarding Kim Jong-Un.
One of the most bizzare is from a defector who's stated that Kim was either killed or badly injured when a missle test went drastically wrong.

A US senator has gone on record as saying that Kim is either dead or in a coma.

Other reports say that he's dead, but the authorities will not release the information as it will cause unrest in North Korea.
