:00:00. > :00:00.Hello, and welcome back to a new series of Inside Ott.

:00:00. > :00:09.Stories to get you talking here in the South West.

:00:10. > :00:15.As a new future dawns for the south-west, we investigate

:00:16. > :00:21.Is it a net gain for the industry that wanted out?

:00:22. > :00:26.Things would stay as they wdre and probably become worse,

:00:27. > :00:34.Also tonight, uncertain timds for the region's migrant workers.

:00:35. > :00:36.The UK problems are not going to disappear if

:00:37. > :00:42.And the German wanderers wondering what's next.

:00:43. > :00:46.Do you think there will still be work here in Cornwall?

:00:47. > :00:48.Rudi, you're pulling the strings of my heart.

:00:49. > :01:04.I'm Jemma Woodman and welcole to Inside Out South West.

:01:05. > :01:07.The results of the EU referdndum blew a huge raspberry in thd face

:01:08. > :01:13.And almost all parts of the south-west joined in.

:01:14. > :01:16.We asked John Henderson to try and track down some of thosd people

:01:17. > :01:20.who found themselves in the Spotlight during the campaign

:01:21. > :01:22.to find out whether Brexit is turning out as they

:01:23. > :01:30.It's been a British summer like no other.

:01:31. > :01:36.They are a team that took on the world and won.

:01:37. > :01:40.Been a summer of truly disappointing results.

:01:41. > :01:44.It's a bad week from Britain, bad week for the UK.

:01:45. > :01:50.One place after arguably thd most important result of all.

:01:51. > :01:54.The British people have spoken and the answer is we're out.

:01:55. > :01:57.While some took to the stredts to celebrate, others

:01:58. > :02:02.I feel like someone's kicked me in the stomach.

:02:03. > :02:06.In the months leading up to the EU referendum, people in

:02:07. > :02:11.the south-west pledged themselves into the argument.

:02:12. > :02:13.Services like schools and hospitals in the south-west

:02:14. > :02:19.I want to go to Iceland to see how they feel

:02:20. > :02:26.I was concerned about short-term instability.

:02:27. > :02:29.If there are any trade problems the EU just comes and sorts it.

:02:30. > :02:32.The question is, in the ten weeks since Brexit, how are they

:02:33. > :02:51.We first caught up with this fish buyer Angie Harrison in February.

:02:52. > :02:55.She was undecided about which way to go in the referendum.

:02:56. > :03:00.Will it affect our little boats here, whom we pride ourselvds on,

:03:01. > :03:10.Or are we better to go out because we can make

:03:11. > :03:14.So we flew her to Iceland, a country with a massive fishing

:03:15. > :03:16.industry that's recently decided to remain outside the EU.

:03:17. > :03:21.Two days of meeting and gredting and fact-finding and

:03:22. > :03:27.What message would you send to our fishermen about

:03:28. > :03:38.I came here thinking that they make their own decisions

:03:39. > :03:44.about what they do with quotas and it's just not as clear-cut

:03:45. > :03:53.What does she think looking back at the trip with a little assistance

:03:54. > :04:03.Is that a good side for her?

:04:04. > :04:18.Coming out, we could change the quota system, because that's

:04:19. > :04:22.the issue that Iceland have, where they need also

:04:23. > :04:33.Things would stay as they were and probably become

:04:34. > :04:50.Next up, Anil Koshti a retired scientist and engineer.

:04:51. > :04:53.A migrant himself, he asked the first question in a special BBC

:04:54. > :05:01.That public services like schools and hospitals in the south-west

:05:02. > :05:06.A question that gets right to the heart of the debate.

:05:07. > :05:13.Just two weeks after Anil and the majority voted to ldave

:05:14. > :05:15.an arson attack some linked to Brexit.

:05:16. > :05:17.The police said it was a racist hate crime.

:05:18. > :05:21.A Polish family who lived in Plymouth ten years.

:05:22. > :05:25.To talk about migration in the context of

:05:26. > :05:33.I'm an immigrant, but I'm completely assimilated into this country

:05:34. > :05:37.and one of the problems we have is we must make sure that pdople

:05:38. > :05:39.who come to this country are actually integrated

:05:40. > :05:45.Multiculturalism in my opinion has failed.

:05:46. > :05:47.We should go for integration so that everyone feels British and waves

:05:48. > :05:51.a British flag and sings thd British national anthem and I think this has

:05:52. > :05:57.been the failing of the last many, many years, where we have h`d

:05:58. > :06:00.pockets of different culturds living separately, like they are

:06:01. > :06:13.What could be more British than the banger?

:06:14. > :06:19.Initially this south-west s`usage supremo was a Leaver.

:06:20. > :06:25.I like the idea of the adventure of the UK going it alone.

:06:26. > :06:30.But when the vote came, he was a Remainer.

:06:31. > :06:36.I was concerned about short,term instability in business.

:06:37. > :06:41.I thought, do I want two ye`rs of questions being asked

:06:42. > :06:46.His initial disappointment with the result has now

:06:47. > :06:55.There are lots of enquiries coming in, and as you came in I was looking

:06:56. > :06:58.at an enquiry for 600 tonnes to go to Cuba.

:06:59. > :07:01.And the reason that our phone is going is that we

:07:02. > :07:08.Because the strength of the pound has fallen,

:07:09. > :07:10.so our exports, you know, have more value to a foreign

:07:11. > :07:28.# But if you try sometimes, you'll find you get what yot need.

:07:29. > :07:31.But Brexit is causing a lot of alarm on this Devon farm,

:07:32. > :07:43.though the new calves reallx aren't too fussed.

:07:44. > :07:50.They will live through Brexht. Article 50 will be invoked `nd we

:07:51. > :07:58.will be out before these yotng ladies get to produce their milk.

:07:59. > :08:07.Mary voted to stay in Silver award-winning cheeses could have

:08:08. > :08:14.access to the EU market and beyond. If I sent them to Norway, it could

:08:15. > :08:19.just get banged up in custols. They mess around. When we sell otr cheese

:08:20. > :08:26.to Australia or the United States, there are any trade problems, the EU

:08:27. > :08:32.comes and sorts it out. Her view and her concern hasn't changed. It is

:08:33. > :08:36.looking very worrying. We nded trade negotiators. The Chinese estimates

:08:37. > :08:43.that Britain needs 300 to t`lk to them alone. We have got 40. I need

:08:44. > :08:48.our political classes to surpass themselves and they really didn t do

:08:49. > :08:54.that before the referendum. Just a handful of voices among the 33

:08:55. > :08:59.million who voted in the EU referendum. But overall a c`utiously

:09:00. > :09:09.upbeat message and certainlx no sign of battle fatigue from our four

:09:10. > :09:18.Brexit warriors. Coming up, is it Bob Widdowson for Cornwall's foreign

:09:19. > :09:25.tourists? Waving the flag, ... I don't like Brexit. I am not happy.

:09:26. > :09:30.It is a kind of sorrow. Takhng control of the borders was one of

:09:31. > :09:34.the big battle cries of the Brexit campaign, but what would evdntually

:09:35. > :09:38.mean for the south-west? It is a uncertain ties with dozens of

:09:39. > :09:41.European workers in industrhes at farming and tourism, and as we have

:09:42. > :09:52.been finding out some of thdir bosses are also worried.

:09:53. > :10:12.In a couple of hours, holid`y-makers will start their day in one of

:10:13. > :10:17.Britain's's most genteel resorts. Behind the scenes of the se`front

:10:18. > :10:29.hotels, a multinational workforce is already up and about.

:10:30. > :10:39.Cooking 46 breakfasts at ond of the hotels is Levente. He's a Romanian

:10:40. > :10:43.and like many of the 3 millhon EU citizens already living herd, he is

:10:44. > :10:49.trying to work out for himsdlf what the future might hold. He p`id tax

:10:50. > :10:56.also like normal UK people, I think it will be OK, yes, we'll nded a

:10:57. > :11:04.passport and the green card. But I think it will be OK. I am not

:11:05. > :11:08.worrying about this. But thd boss is worried. Mark Seward says hd has

:11:09. > :11:13.employed more and more European workers over the years. He needs to

:11:14. > :11:18.know urgently how they can recruit in the future. Clearly for ts,

:11:19. > :11:22.having had no concrete information at all about what is going to

:11:23. > :11:26.happen, we read the paper and see the news, they are suggesting all

:11:27. > :11:27.sorts of things about potential permits or the people who h`ve been

:11:28. > :11:31.here a length of time, but ht here a length of time, but ht

:11:32. > :11:36.doesn't allow us to consider what we will do next year. Sidmouth is an

:11:37. > :11:42.ageing town and it has one of the oldest populations in the UK. That

:11:43. > :11:46.makes it hard to find workers. The majority of our staff from the UK

:11:47. > :11:53.and from Sidmouth and the surrounding area. 25% or more from

:11:54. > :12:00.overseas. We simply couldn't without some considerable help, find people

:12:01. > :12:05.to fill those places. We ard in the heart of East Devon where most

:12:06. > :12:10.voters backed Brexit. But about the cricket club, there are mixdd views

:12:11. > :12:14.about what it should mean for the 170,000 Europeans living in the

:12:15. > :12:19.south-west. It is a different place than 50 years ago. People are moving

:12:20. > :12:24.around much more. There is bound to be a lot more movement of pdople. As

:12:25. > :12:28.it was before we didn't havd a clue who was coming in, jobs shotld be

:12:29. > :12:32.offered to our people first and then offered worldwide, not just Europe,

:12:33. > :12:36.worldwide. They think there is a serious issue, who is in thhs

:12:37. > :12:42.country, and I fear for Devon and Cornwall more than anywhere. I am

:12:43. > :12:45.not anti them but as long as they are identifiable, because wd really

:12:46. > :12:51.don't know who is in or country This is a Billy. We will catch up

:12:52. > :12:55.with him later but first let's find out what the migrant workers

:12:56. > :13:00.themselves think. Ivana and Miloslev from Slovakia and work for Lark We

:13:01. > :13:10.came in the summer of 2011 `nd we got the job in a small pub, kitchen

:13:11. > :13:15.porters. That is how we comd here. More opportunities here than back in

:13:16. > :13:21.Slovakia. The Brexit deflatd troubled Ivana. The UK problems are

:13:22. > :13:26.not going to disappear if you send us home. It wouldn't solve `ll the

:13:27. > :13:30.problems. It isn't just that, it is not just us, we are also

:13:31. > :13:38.contributing a lot to the economy. I don't know who would be working in

:13:39. > :13:42.hotels like ours. De Sart one hotel. -- it is just one hotel. Thdre is a

:13:43. > :13:48.many similar places where pdople wouldn't like to do work th`t we do.

:13:49. > :13:51.Ivana and Miloslev have to lake a decision whether to stay in the UK

:13:52. > :13:55.Oracle back to Slovakia. Whdn we came five years ago it was still

:13:56. > :14:02.fine, but I think in the last year or two, as the economy wasn't doing

:14:03. > :14:06.that well, the mood is changing a little bit. Remember Billy from the

:14:07. > :14:11.cricket club? Back at the hotel we get it as to introduce him to Ivana

:14:12. > :14:16.and Miloslev. When the EU ddbate came up, my greatest concern was

:14:17. > :14:24.people coming in from different countries like sledger and working

:14:25. > :14:28.in Britain -- Slovakia. How do you actually register that you `re in

:14:29. > :14:33.Britain? The first week or so of us coming here, we were given `n

:14:34. > :14:36.appointment at the job centre. We got an interview and they wdre

:14:37. > :14:43.asking us certain questions, where we were from. We both have got an

:14:44. > :14:48.insurance number, so we pay taxes and National Insurance. We `re all

:14:49. > :14:53.in the system. You have reassured me that there are people like xourself

:14:54. > :14:58.who are prepared to come ovdr, registered in our system and play

:14:59. > :15:07.the same rules as everybody else, and I wish you all the best.

:15:08. > :15:14.We are heading out of Sidmotth now and down to the Cornish countryside,

:15:15. > :15:18.so if Mark is worried because 2 % of his hotel staff come from the EU,

:15:19. > :15:27.but we are now going to a place when 90% of their stuff from the EU. --

:15:28. > :15:29.staff. Southern England Farls in Leedstown is one of the main

:15:30. > :15:33.suppliers of courgettes in the country and they are growing other

:15:34. > :15:37.vegetables all year round. The firm is also growing. In the peak season

:15:38. > :15:41.they employ 400 people and there isn't time waste. -- no timd to

:15:42. > :15:51.waste. The bosses here say they urgently

:15:52. > :15:56.need the Government to spell out what will happen when reallx the EU.

:15:57. > :16:02.I think for us it is contintity This is just a mass of people for a

:16:03. > :16:06.very short time, so we can offer a full-time job which is what a lot of

:16:07. > :16:10.people would be looking for. Even before EU citizens have the right to

:16:11. > :16:15.settle in the UK there were schemes to allow farm workers. It's possible

:16:16. > :16:22.something similar could happen now. Although DEFRA says it is too early

:16:23. > :16:25.to say. Cheney needs the details. Agricultural copies are planning

:16:26. > :16:26.more than 12 months ahead so we need to know we have got a const`nt

:16:27. > :16:30.supply of people. At the molent we supply of people. At the molent we

:16:31. > :16:35.know that is seen people want to come back of the worry is how are

:16:36. > :16:38.they going to be able to cole by? Gedas has a better reason than most

:16:39. > :16:41.to come to the UK. A few months of seasonal work here has meant he

:16:42. > :16:45.could afford to pay doctors back home in litter when you for an eye

:16:46. > :16:54.operation. The reason that people are coming here is because ht is

:16:55. > :16:58.easier to get here and the wages are much higher. I am saving for my eye

:16:59. > :17:04.surgery. I have an illness stopped it is called keratoconus. Mx cornea

:17:05. > :17:11.is getting thinner and thinner. I got directed to a clinic in

:17:12. > :17:15.Lithuania. And 20 segment vhsion from a future. The Government says

:17:16. > :17:19.the status of EU to citizens living here so far hasn't changed `nd that

:17:20. > :17:27.it fully expects the Reds to be protected when they UK this the EU.

:17:28. > :17:30.-- writes. But would tighter immigration controls actually

:17:31. > :17:34.benefit British farm workers? Some feel they have been pushed out of

:17:35. > :17:41.the industry. Simon Powell tsed to work as a figure. I don't h`ve any

:17:42. > :17:48.work any more. -- figure. Odd bits here and there from a few up farmers

:17:49. > :17:53.that I know but the day herd, the odd day there is all I get now. No

:17:54. > :17:57.one wants English people. Even the distribution centres have t`ken on

:17:58. > :18:01.all foreign workers, so I c`n't even get any work during that now because

:18:02. > :18:11.of the language barrier. So will Brexit make a difference? I am not

:18:12. > :18:14.sure that it is going to help, but I voted out and, yeah, it might adjust

:18:15. > :18:20.things a little bit. Give us a better chance. But I don't think the

:18:21. > :18:24.actual employers will changd their ways to be quite honest, because the

:18:25. > :18:29.actual employers by making lore money now than they would do

:18:30. > :18:33.employing English people, bdcause we are not willing to work for the sort

:18:34. > :18:40.of wages that they are willhng to work for. Ivana and Miloslev think

:18:41. > :18:45.they might leave. We would like to go back to Slovakia, becausd this is

:18:46. > :18:52.not for us anyway, we have been here five years and we would likd to go

:18:53. > :18:57.back home. That is the plan but we will still probably have to go

:18:58. > :19:03.abroad to work, because there are not good opportunities at home. We

:19:04. > :19:10.will see if it is going to be the UK or somewhere else, because H think

:19:11. > :19:17.they need workers everywherd. EU migrants are thought to makd up

:19:18. > :19:19.around 6% of the UK workforce. There is a huge? Global weather Brexit

:19:20. > :19:25.leaves them and the businesses they work for -- question mark. The

:19:26. > :19:30.question will be balancing the needs of businesses and those votdrs who

:19:31. > :19:31.want to say tighter controls on immigration. Getting the right deals

:19:32. > :19:43.is going to be backbreaking work. Every year hundreds of Germ`n

:19:44. > :19:47.tourists come to Cornwall in search of their literary heroine, the

:19:48. > :19:52.romantic novelist Rosamunde Pilcher. We caught up with some of these

:19:53. > :19:57.Pilgrims to find out whether a post Brexit they feel like cherished

:19:58. > :20:09.partners or betrayed Lubbers? - lovers.

:20:10. > :20:19.Rosamunde Pilcher is very popular in Germany. At prime time, millions of

:20:20. > :20:24.people on Sunday evening ard sitting there watching Rosamunde Pilcher and

:20:25. > :20:30.they like that more than football. Many, many Germans want to come to

:20:31. > :20:43.Cornwall for these images of those movies. The Germans love Cornwall

:20:44. > :20:49.definitely. Waving the flag. We started organising bees coach

:20:50. > :20:54.parties to Cornwall in 1998. We always intend to show what H say

:20:55. > :20:58.Cornwall behind-the-scenes, culture, mystery, the legends of Cornwall and

:20:59. > :21:02.also the wildlife. Right in the morning when I heard above the

:21:03. > :21:09.Brexit decision, to be honest, I got tears in my eyes. After mord than

:21:10. > :21:13.four decades the UK will le`ve the European Union, the Prime Mhnister

:21:14. > :21:20.has resigned. I don't like Brexit. I am not happy. It is a kind of

:21:21. > :21:27.sorrow. Among sizeable minority who wanted to stay in, there is and

:21:28. > :21:32.disbelief. I felt very sad. I was immediately alarmed how othdr people

:21:33. > :21:41.could react now. I am lonelx Evans I owned restaurants. -- Melanhe. To

:21:42. > :21:46.leave in the EU referendum. Tell me what is happening to you. Wd have

:21:47. > :21:52.been very concerned over thd last month about this debate, because it

:21:53. > :21:58.has sent some signals to thd people. Will we still be able to go there?

:21:59. > :22:03.Will there still be work thdre? Reasons for leaving the EU `re many,

:22:04. > :22:10.but none of them because we don t like the people in Europe. Laybe it

:22:11. > :22:17.was not the aim to send the signal is out, but emotions are terrified

:22:18. > :22:29.sitting in the EU that we are losing our identity.

:22:30. > :22:43.I am Carroll Richards. I run a guesthouse alongside Keith Richards.

:22:44. > :22:56.Candle light breakfast. Anything else? Herds of wildebeest? The

:22:57. > :23:00.hanging Gardens of Babylon? I hope people don't see it as anything

:23:01. > :23:04.personal, because it is certainly not personal. How did you vote if

:23:05. > :23:19.you don't mind me asking? I voted to stay in. And Keith? How did you

:23:20. > :23:29.vote? Out. My brother is a fisherman. My family fished for a

:23:30. > :23:35.five generations of fishermdn. And to look at the fishing fleet in

:23:36. > :23:42.Meulen and fishing quotas, H voted to leave. -- Meulen. I can tell you

:23:43. > :23:51.100% it wasn't an anti-Germ`n, anti-French, anything to do with

:23:52. > :23:56.Europe as such. As far as I'm concerned, the between us and

:23:57. > :24:00.yourselves, I can't see anything other than it getting bigger and

:24:01. > :24:04.stronger. I know this from the bottom of my heart and that is why

:24:05. > :24:10.Cornwall became a kind of the second homeland for my wife and me. I just

:24:11. > :24:20.wanted to stay in, but has not worked out so that way. Just have to

:24:21. > :24:28.hope that it is OK and that people are going to be pleased and that it

:24:29. > :24:33.is what they wanted in the dnd. I know her work and we are, btt we

:24:34. > :24:43.must not ignore it that there are emotions and I think we havd to

:24:44. > :24:48.argue against them. There is a rapt coastline. The highest cliffs on the

:24:49. > :24:54.worst of Cornwall. They are exposed to the Gulf stream and the high

:24:55. > :24:57.waves. Many seals can be watched and they high diversity of birds,

:24:58. > :25:10.sometimes you even concede the Cornish chaff there. -- can see

:25:11. > :25:23.My name is a way where I cole from. I would say that the relationship

:25:24. > :25:28.that Rudi and I have built tp over the years is closer than brothers
