Brexit staffing problems risk Christmas turkey shortage, poultry farmers warn
One in six jobs in poultry industry unfilled due to EU workers leaving UK, employers say

Serious staff shortages caused by Brexit could mean there aren’t enough turkeys for Christmas, poultry producers have warned.

The British Poultry Council (BPC) said its members, which includes the country’s largest supplier of supermarket chicken, have told them that one in six jobs were unfilled because EU workers have left the UK after Brexit.

Greece erects fence at Turkey border amid warnings of Afghan migrant surge

Greece has installed a 40km (25-mile) fence and surveillance system on its border with Turkey amid concern over a surge of migrants from Afghanistan.

"We cannot wait, passively, for the possible impact," Greece's Citizens' Protection Minister Michalis Chrisochoidis said on a visit to the region of Evros on Friday.

"Our borders will remain inviolable."

Hm. allegedly a bit of 'excitement' in Poros a few nights back when a local shop keeper and a tourist partook in fisticuffs following a dispute. According to report the incident lasted about thirty minutes during which time the police were summoned but failed to materialise. Both men taken to hospital in Argostoli with injuries described as "serious".

The little cottage that was Skala police station was closed down years ago, apparently there's only one officer based in Poros now, still covering Poros, Skala, Katelios, etc, presumably.

As I said recently, when it's hot tempers can flare...
