Poultry farmers are urging the government to lift travel restrictions to allow hundreds of specialist EU turkey pluckers to fill jobs in the UK, with a warning that there could be a shortage of birds or higher prices if the restrictions are not waived.
The farmers and NFUtweets NFUPolitical voted for their own Brexit Christmas and now beg EU migrants workers to be exempted from visa rules. Schadenfreude.
They're asking for workers from the 'nasty EU'?
Because the world will grind to a halt if people don't eat Turkey?
