Around 100,000
drivers short all the press are saying.

But last night
on Newsnight BBC2HD Conservative Bridgen MP was claiming
only half of the drivers chose to work?

Effects of Brexit truly starting to hit now. It’s quite worrying and only going to get worse.

It’s a bump in the road ts it’s not a terminal cancer diagnosis

I'm not talking about the petrol specifically, I'm talking about the HGV goods transport crisis that is ongoing and escalating. All of the smaller issues are just symptoms of that larger one.

If there is money to be made truck drivers will just switch my brother in law drives a hi ab hgv for travis

I can drive an hgv so can my brother if it gets that bad people will switch jobs
It’s not like there is going to be no one around maybe more women will drive hgv’s

There are plenty of women already driving hgv horse boxes

you can name any number of things that are affected by a driver shortage. The crucial point is that there is not a supply shortage, there is a delay in goods arriving, which is manageable in 99% of cases. Obviously high demand for something in a hotspot will lead to a shortage, but so what. The media are making the problem worse. Get everyone into a panic about a shortage so that they rush out and buy and create a shortage. Honestly, the media have so much to answer for. They have always been bad, but since covid arrived, they have been completely irresponsible

Do we need those unelected rich people to hold our hands and do things and organise things for us.

Are us people in the UK really that incapable of functioning.

How come other non EU countries can function, but we're incapable? What's so special about us?

The thing is, the only person stopping you from moving to live inside the EU, is you. Our country decided it doesn't want to, but nobody is stopping you.

Brexit/leaving the EU meant an end to free movement for residence/work within Europe ... that was a pretty big part of the whole deal. So this is all just... incorrect. A British citizen can't just decide to up sticks and live in mainland Europe. You could have before Brexit. You now cannot.
