Probably all those bloody foreigners coming over here and taking our jobs!

Well they’ve gone now, and guess what? We haven’t got the staff to do those jobs in hospitality, building and agriculture etc.

So hey, let’s get them back over to work in the bars, restaurants, fruit farms and building sites. Only they won’t, because they’ll need a permit costing from £625 to £1,423. Then pay the healthcare surcharge (usually £624 per year). Then they’ll need to support themselves when they arrive in the UK. So need to have at least £1,270 available before they even start, probably on minimum wage.

Why’s that restaurant only open four days a week? Aren’t strawberries expensive? The builders can’t come round to fix my roof for another ten months!

I know! Let’s blame Covid.
