Should Adam have reported the incident to the police.

Don’t know, Janispope. But if you are UK based you may enjoy ‘It’s a fair cop’ currently on BBC Radio4 on Wed mornings at 11:30 but probably podcastable. ‘Tales from the police frontline, featuring copper turned comedian Alfie Moore. Each edition uses a scenario from a real-life case with the audience members asked how they would have acted in such circumstances.’ I laugh!!!

My interpretation was that the pickers convinced Adam not to call the police because they feared an anti-immigrant response: they would get blamed for the fight, possibly leading to the loss of their jobs and expulsion from the country.

Witherspoon, that makes me really sad, I like to hope our country doesn’t give EU workers the feeling that the state will persecute rather than protect them, but then I live in Oxford which is a v multi cultural pro EU city, so maybe the show is portraying how it feels for seasonal migrant workers in the countryside. I was pleased that they seem to be writing more of the lives of the pickers into the show.
