The Shakes-pear MP

I read yesterday that some Tory MP said unemployed Northerners should come down to the South to replace the Romanians as fruit pickers.  I nearly choked on my coffee by his naivety.  So let's all just  leave our homes and children unattended to travel down to some overpriced hut in Kent to pick pigeon shit covered cherries?  What next, a Marie Antoinette "if you can't afford bread, eat cake"?  When you have gone to Eton and lived in a mansion in Buckinghamshire, all that luxury must get to your head.  Surely travelling down to Kent in a Mercedes and picking up some Duchy pears for fun and photo opportunities must be smashing.  Let's all do that, Mr Shakes-pear, it is a jolly good idea. Just make sure you invite those Northerners who voted Tory first...
