Exodus of Foreign Workers Leaves British Employers in the Lurch

Hospitals are struggling to hire doctors and nurses. British universities are failing to attract foreign academics and students. Bankers are looking for jobs in Germany and France. The construction sector last month warned that British infrastructure faced “severe setbacks” if Britain did not train enough workers to stem a shortfall in laborers from European Union countries. About half of all construction workers in London and the South East are foreign-born.

The “Brexodus,” as it is called, is being felt particularly acutely in the agriculture industry, which relies heavily on manual laborers, especially from poor European countries like Romania and Bulgaria. While Europe is experiencing a boom in “disposable” workers who are sent to all corners of the Continent, many appear to be shunning Britain.

I'm sure there are thousands of unemployed Londoners who can't wait to go to Scotland to work on farms.  "Murrican farmers have already had rousing success in attracting them to leave the cities!

Perhaps Britain will have better luck?

I think the Nasty Party has quadraplegics penned in to do strawberry pickin, and Alzheimers to do surgery.

On a related note I am unsure about Arlene Foster, either she's the most stupid politician the DUP's ever had* or she's the most devious and far sighted politician Sinn Féin's ever had.

*And the DUP is a party which excels in stupidity. Edwin Poots, anyone?
