The Threat of Polish Plumbers.

It’s about the same as Americans facing the threat of lawncare specialists, roofing contractors, meat packers and agricultural workers from across the Mexican border.

Long time back we had a Jones Safari press report here in the UK after Brexit was going to happen, interviewing a florist who owned a shop in one of the Welsh valley towns. He really didn’t like the foreign food shops and the Poles and others in his town so he voted Leave with great gusto and he’d be happy to see the back of those foreign types. He was quite openly xenophobic.

It’s just, he got a refrigerated truck delivering fresh cut flowers from Holland every week and that was going to continue, wasn’t it? Surely they could make an exception for florists so that the Dutch flower growers could make seamless no-paperwork deliveries like they did when we were in the EU? No?
