…OMG…do you know Helperby,

Some people care about their own privacy and those of every single person in their contacts list who may not wish WA and therefore FB to have access to their name an phone number. Luckily there are alternatives such as Telegram and Signal to help the insidious, sinister creep of FB and the normalisation of privacy breaches that make the nazi secret police look like amateurs!

Interesting government comment here:

Employers should invest in our domestic workforce instead of relying on labour from abroad.

Thinking in the abstract, there is obviously a case for this - but in reality, those of us with any actual hands-on experience of manual farm work will know that you have to have a bit of a ‘feel’ for it; my guess is that the old labour force from places like Romania and Bulgaria were actually very experienced, and moreover no more than one generation removed from living off the land - ie. entirely different from unemployed young people from many generations of industrial labour and urban living.
