But its not simply being workshy Brigand - its the rigmarole of coming off benefits and then having to reapply when what is seasonal work ends - it just isnt worth the hassle for a few months good work.

We have to seriously look at the whole thing with new eyes.

Lets also bear in mind we have thousands of asylum seekers here, detained at her majesty's pleasure (for want of better terminology), who would jump at the chance of being out in the open picking fruit and earning a living. Many of them from Zimbabwe are the former farm workers of white farmers, so they know exactly what theyre doing, no need for training.
