Nope.
People based in London or any other city no where near farms cannot go and do those jobs instead they can do retail, cleaning, care, hotel and security jobs. And in fact many do but they need their poor wages topped up by the in work benefits.
Oh and benefits are frozen until April 2020 so in real terms that is a cut.
I just hope you never get extremely ill for a long time and have to rely on benefits."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
