It's clear you are twisted Phil.

@Brajaxo Phil's narrative is FAKE. UK farmers want to exploit cheaper workers from the EU. Giving them poor living conditions. The farmers unions called for people to work on farmers last season. Tens of thousands people from the UK applied and very few were even given a chance of an interview, let alone given a job. So Phil is talking utter rubbish AGIAN. The UK farmers charge crazy amounts of rent for poor quality accommodation and get kick backs from the employment agencies that bring people over from the EU. It's been happening for decades and this exploitation of foreign works has to stop. Once workers come to the UK to work on farms they are trapped using financial contracts that issue large financial penalties if they leave early. Now the UK's farmers will have to pay the correct minimum wage to British workers.

@Brajaxo Firstly plants a trees dont need labour to grow. Machines do a lot of the planting. Its only harvesting that requires cheap labour. Now the UK is outside the EU we can import cheaper fresh fruit and salad and veg and high value crops will be harvested UK workers. Many of those UK workers were originally from the EU and decided to live in the UK. Overall food prices have stayed at the same price and with the freedom to buy from around the world without collecting tariffs/taxes to send to Brussels, food will become cheaper in price.

@Brajaxo The UK is a net importer of food and that has always been the case since before WW1. The UK is a tiny island with a large population. We dont rely on food or income from UK farming. The UK has a population of almost 68 Million people. Compare that to the vast land mass of the EU with 446 Million which is reliant on revenue from farming. The EU has been making it harder to do business. In the past the UK imported a lot of food from the EU but that has already changed. You have to search very hard on UK supermarkets to find goods from the EU. Please remember we love the people of Europe. We just dislike the EU Commission.

@Brajaxo have you ever know a poor farmer? We already import a large percentage of the UK's food and the remaining food that is grown in the UK are high value crops. UK farmers have to pay the minimum wage by law. They have had to do this for many years. What is the difference between paying the minimum wage to EU or UK workers. That just means more jobs for UK workers. Any shortfall will be made up with imports, the same as they are every year. Which is why Phil's project fear falls apart. Yes the media will print headlines to manufacture stories. UK farmers will have to adapt. The same way as EU farmers will have to adapt to less sales going to the UK because we're buying from countries outside the EU at lower costs.

@Brajaxo Just to be clear. It doesn't matter if the workers are from the UK or the EU. They all get paid the Legal minimum wage. So the overall cost of harvesting the UK's farm crops costs exactly the same to the farmer. It only makes a difference if those UK farmers are not treating/paying the workers fairly.

@Brajaxo It's not just the UK's farmers. It's a well documented fact that farm workers across Europe are contracted by agencies that organise workers from poorer countries in the EU and previously to the UK, dont treat those workers fairly and dont pay them correctly. This happens with workers on fishing boats not getting paid the legal minimum wage. There will be exceptions from farm workers coming from the EU to work in the UK to still allow them to work in the UK. As much as the rules have changed, they will also protect foreign workers rights to earn a fair wage. The same as EU fishing boats working in UK waters will legally have to prove they are paying their workers the UK's legal minimum wage from now on. Protecting those workers rights. Phil would have you believe that the British dislike people from the EU and that simply isn't true. We love the people of Europe. We just dislike the EU leadership in the Brussels (The EU Commission)

@Brajaxo You have to understand the UK has had constant attacks/threats to our economy by the EU Commission (on an almost daily basis) over the past 5 years. So yes i'v seen people get heated and say things in retaliation. If your country and your economy was being constantly attacked, you would probably react in a similar way. At the moment the UK has about 90,000 illegal economic migrants being housed in hotels. They are not people from the EU. They travelled through Europe to get to the UK. The UK's tax payers are paying for those people to stay in 4 star hotels. So people get upset and they say things they shouldn't and wouldn't normally say. Yes people say things when they are directly attacked online, that they wouldn't say in public. Please dont think everyone in the UK is like that. The UK voted to leave the EU (Economic Union) because it didn't work for the UK. It was an almost equal vote 48% to 52% split vote. Almost half of the UK voted to stay part of the EU. We are still seeing the EU Commission attacking the UK on a daily basis. So people still get upset. Just remember that 17.4 Million people voted to leave the EU and the UK has a population of 68 Million people.
