Prince Charles has been accused of"playing the lord of the manor" after urging furloughed workers in the U.K. to pick fruit for minimum wage.
The Prince of Wales warned food may rot on trees if Britons cannot be convinced to roll up their sleeves and gather it themselves.Much like Queen Elizabeth II's well-received COVID-19 special broadcast, the campaign's slogan,"Pick for Britain" invokes the wartime message"Dig for Victory" and the prince himself referenced the wartime Land Army.
The U.K. needs an estimated 80,000 extra workers as 98 percent of fruit pickers in the country in 2019 were from overseas, mostly Romania and Bulgaria. Next year, Britain is set to come out of its transition period with the E.U., with a new immigration system that may exclude seasonal workers.
Yes, sir, my liege lord, my aged Prince.
What does a mean Prince do anyways?
God help you if he becomes King! 😂😂😂
Royals like to cherry-pick for a maximum wage.
Those choppers though
Said the guy who’s literally never had a job.
Why doesn't he get his royal ass out in the Orchard and pick some fuckin fruit?
I thought his speech was inspiring.
The headline is a little misleading as per normal MSM. He didn’t actually say anything of the sort. I’m not a royalist, but this is hugely misleading in a time when we’ve never been so divided...well if you use twitter you’ll know what I mean...
He needs a dentist.
HRH is right. Unemployed beardies should take farm jobs.
And when they’re done picking fruit, will he tell them “Let them eat cake”?
What is wrong with picking your own fruit fro minimum wage? Privilege.
How dare him tell people to work
At what point do we forcefully remove this evil global regime?
no one needs royals.
