There's just no way to claim that the UK's current haulage problems are not Brexit-related.
We could have been 3 years further advanced if it wasn't for all the people trying to overturn the result of the referendum, holding us back. And then when we finally seal the deal, the situation the World now finds itself in, starts.

There's always going to be creases to iron out. The first step is to accept we've left, and we're not likely to be returning in our lifetimes. Then we can get on with doing what's best for us.
