Brexit

I bet I could pick every fucking strawberry on that island in a couple weeks wtf? How many strawberries we talking? Do Europeans even into how to work hard?

Bet you couldn't....

The UK strawberry industry is expected to smash its sales record this year by £50m, a record it only set last year. What's behind the blooming strawberry?

In 1990 the British strawberry season lasted about six weeks. Now it typically stretches from May to October - about 20 weeks.

And that's just the official season, which marks the point when supermarkets are stocked 100% with British strawberries - replacing foreign imports from the likes of Israel, Jordan, Morocco and Spain.

But British strawberry growers have been innovatively trying to squeeze every last strawberry from the UK's unpredictable climate.

And last year there were still British strawberries on the shelves in December for the first time.

Growers predict 2015 will be even better. Strawberries are expected to fetch £325m this year, easily beating 2014's record total of £275m, according to British Summer Fruits (BSF), which represents 98% of berry growers that supply supermarkets.

They estimate that 76,000 tonnes will be produced this year - a 12,000-tonne increase on last year alone - while production has increased by 36% in the past five years, according to the BSF.

The principal reason for this is both clear and controversial - polytunnels. These flexible greenhouses - with their curved metal girders and polythene covers - have spread out over large swathes of the British countryside.

It's being subsidized by tax payers. You are paying for the shit wages indirectly via welfare for displaced farm workers and whatever government services those foreign workers need.

It sounds like you have too many strawberries. Don't blame the racists. Supply and demand. Do yall even into basic economics anymore? You faggots invented it, what have they dropped that in favor of diversity training at school?

[Speaker to Animals]

They needed more money for the diversity budget.

[Montegriffo]

You're missing part of the equation but arguing with you is pointless. Hard physical labor pays shit because any sub 75 IQ mongrel can do it. The more complex the task the more pay and benefits go up. But I hate illegal immigrants so keep pushing your narrative I won't stop you.

NOT illegal immigrants. Perfectly legal, tax paying, mostly white, Eastern Europeans.

Nah, demand is huge. What doesn't get eaten fresh is processed into jam(jelly to you) and other products.

I'm incredibly jealous of that btw. I want to pound into a pulp all the bongs insulting polacks because they (of course they are fucking white) are the only outgroup it's fair game to criticize. 1.4k bong sluts groomed for sex trafficking by Muslims BUT GOD FUCKING FORBID YOU CRITICIZE THE PEOPLE RUNNING AROUND RANDOMLY BLOWING UP

[Montegriffo]

Oh you better believe we criticise rapists and terrorists, it's only wrong when you criticise ALL Muslims.
