  Pickers and packers get the minimum 5.93/hour, and most British people laboured with the British cost of living cannot be expected to make a career on such a laughable sum, unless you own your own house, so as not to pay rent, and ride a bike.
  
  That 95% of the people working in Kent's food-processing industry are migrant workers is a likely figure, and they also work along agency-contracts, which tend to exclude all those luxuries that once were the result of a social work-policy (social in the non-political sence).
  
  I was told that in one factory - I won't give any name - somewhere in Dover, the work-leaders spoke in mono-syllables to the employees, who hardly understood English and came from 25 different countries. And that English people working there on an agency contract couldn't cope with such treatment (as they too were spokent to in the same way) and just walked out.
