Signed. Same as everything else, if the industry can't self fund it should go down. They make more than enough profit normally.

Business as usual, money before people again. When this whole fucking thing is finally lifted I reckon it will be down to money rather than safety....

I will let you all make up your own minds about this! As said before with all pickers, they get bussed in usually, live in barracks / statics, all communal and in each others pockets almost 24/7 and it only needs one to have the virus. There's a number of UK volunteers (not many will last the course of them unless they've done it before) as well.
I just hope that whoever is using these peeps has some serious shielding to keep them safe no matter where they're coming from, they're still someones kids.

Why are the UK workers volunteers? Don't they want to be paid?

Theres been plenty of news about picker shortages but not much public job advertising.Farms mostly dont want Brits picking because they want more money and dont like the working conditions.
Eastern Europeans graft and do as theyre told.Plenty of businesses use them round here because they just get on with what theyre told.

The flights coming in are mostly chartered flights repatriating 300k Brits that were or are still stranded abroad and medical supplies or freight flights.
If you use any of the aircraft traffic tracking apps like flightradar or plane finder you can see theres virtually nothing in the air compared to normal.
