The Courier & Advertiser (Perth and Perthshire Edition)
Are the farmers next to suffer?
Sir, – What an interesting headline in The Courier (“Farms could fold due to lack of migrant labour”, March 26) about the potential impact of Brexit on the farming industry.
On the back of the fishing industry betrayal, now is it the farmers’ turn?
Further implications of the impact of Brexit are that various car manufacturers, financial institutions, and sundry other companies are leaving their options open about relocating abroad.
How bad does it have to get before the public sees through the fantasy world that Westminster has in mind for the future?
Are people so blinded by their mistrust of “Johnny Foreigner” that they can’t see the damage about to be inflicted on them?
Are they so gullible they believe there are nations around the world who are going to give us super-duper deals which benefit us to their own nation’s detriment?
You can be sure that rich Tories like Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg and their like won’t suffer financially as a result of their reckless actions.
It will be today’s working people who will bear the brunt of Brexit.
The well-off toffs will have their ill-gotten gains salted away in the Cayman Islands or some other tax haven for the rich.
