OT Shortage of lorry drivers? What is to blame?

[crashbang]

Go and tell a poor person in india that they have it just as bad as a poor person in the UK.

We are a country of people who take for granted and don't appreciate much of what we have and will throw many hard fought advantages away because we're gullible and believe what corrupt rich people manipulate us into thinking.

To reiterate... I told you so.

You can't be that bothered , saying how well off you are.
What a plum.

The statement I have made on that subject is that I'll be fine as energy prices and inflation bite, a statement I'm sure is true of many posters on here.

I too am of the opinion that brexit will bite us on the bum and that many have been conned into falling for it. History will tell us if im reight but early signs arent good.

I must have been dreaming.

I dreamt a pandemic had hit the worlds population and things went more than a little crazy.

So vivid it fooled me.

No worries.

Next people will be saying we need to stop destroying the planet. After all there’s only approx 80/100m per year being added to the population.

What could possibly go wrong?

90,000 to 100,000 reported shortage of lorry drivers, with 10,000 to 20,000 EU lorry drivers returning home since Brexit. Yeah its all Brexit’s fault.

A much larger impact has been caused by the Covid-19 pandemic with drivers leaving the industry due to reduced workloads in the worst of the pandemic, training and tests stopped due to the pandemic, and now industries such as construction having record demands for goods which guess what further fuels the shortage of drivers.

It’s pathetic how those who voted remain still have this black and white outlook, anything bad blame Brexit, anything good put down to any other reason possible.
