You cannot beat a locally produced sausage, but British jobs for British workers mean that we are facing culling thousands of pigs in the UK because there are no British butchers available to prepare the meat for cold storage/supermarkets.
So what do we do 10 months after Brexit, yes offer temporary visas to Europeans so they can come in and do the jobs we won't do. And this is nothing to do with covid.
I just hope there isn't a shortage of pigs in blankets this Christmas, now that would be a disaster.
I won't say I didn't tell you so about agriculture/farming, but I did!
Get yourself ready to a new alternative to pigs in blankets...shrimp in blankets, coming to a Morrisons near you.
Over the last 10 years, training for butchers at most large supermarkets has been culled. Therefore, it's not an attractive job. Getting trained butchers to work at manufacturing plants is difficult as they are more skilled than just being meat cutters. It's like asking Messi to turnout for your Sunday pub team.
Problems we are facing now aren't entirely down to Brexit, it's been the neglectful decline by large corporations to actually train people to a skilled level, so they don't have to pay them a skilled wage.
Added to the increase in political veganism, why are farmers breeding pigs in large quantities? Are we going to witness the battle between animal rights campaigners against veganism/ environmental campaigners.
