No, this describes what is happening.

Are you saying the Express has got its facts wrong?

What would Diana think? :shock:

Another industry with piss-poor pay, diabolical working conditions, and personnel practices that stink worse than the abattoirs. And you are surprised they relied on poor immigrant labour, and are now bleating like lambs to the slaughter? Nice try to jerk Joe Public's heartstrings abut the poor little piggies though.

Nothing fazes you, does it?

You post some shite about the the EU arrest warrant which is completely discredited, then you blithely move onto the next brainless post.

You really are not very bright.

Some, probably most, who voted for Brexit knew better than to believe the Express.

Any other straw men you would like to demolish?

This isn't bad news, the collapse of industrial slaughterhouses that process monstrous amounts of animals so they can end up as cut price meat on the shelves in supermarkets, or waste. I bet the poor piggies are gutted - or not as the case may be.

They should march every single human being in the UK through one of these places, then see how people vote, that would be democracy, eyes wide open - "here you go, this is an industrial slaughterhouse, is this what you want?".
I understand that many don't have a choice and have to buy what's available, which is why that industry needs to change and now hopefully it will.

This proves my point that people will use absolutely anything, no matter how disgusting or monstrous, to twist so they can make a political point. Who actually likes these slaughter factories and thinks they're a good thing?

I'm not sure that it matters -which- industries are being screwed by brexit. The fact that they are and that the issues were foreseeable is enough.

Where's the clapping for the new accidental heroes, the abbatoir workers?

The issues being foreseeable is why people voted for Brexit, this is exactly what they wanted, to prove that the UK was propped up by cheap foreign labour.

I just thought that the UK should be out of the German/French club and when asked I gave my opinion. It had nothing to do with cheap labour so stop tarring everyone with your thick Brexiters brush please.

All of you bitter and twisted people of a different opinion, that is. :thumbup:

Brexiters wanted to see UK industries going under, making the UK more reliant on EU imports? Gosh I hadn't realised that, I thought it was those nasty remainers hoping for carnage just so they could say 'I told you so'.

It wasn't too long ago that some on here were defending the UK pork industry as having the best standards in the world, now they can go fuck themselves because they're making Brexit look bad :wtf:

I think some people want the same thing for different reasons, although it seems some on both sides of the fence want things to fail to prove their point.

I'm sure the pig farmers are thrilled that they're being 'slaughtered' (aha!) to prove a really fecking obvious point.

This is the tip of the iceberg. What's the next industry previously fuelled by forriners that will feel the pinch? Gravediggers? Prozzies? ;)

Pony's correct about sticking head in the sand over this. It's been obvious for years which industries would get bent out of shape: f&d manufacturing; hospitality; healthcare; cleaning. There's been very dull studies written on the subject.

Not to do anything about it is hilarious. Let's just tick them off while they all crash.
