I don't get it this. 

Won't they bring germs? Couldn't some the furlough people help?

get the lazy bees out of prison to do it, ffs

Don't forget the lazy b'stards on benefits, which there are over a million.

Get them to do it or they get their benefits stopped.

Spotlight interviewed a Devon farmer the other evening, and asked him if British workers ever came to pick the berries.  He said 'yes, but they don't last more than 2-3 days'.

It needs to be made clear that anyone furloughed who does this work for whatever period of time won't (a) lose their furloughed money and (b) won't lose their job as this is what is being threatened at the moment.
