So its not Brexit its bad planning
This is just such dishonest nonsense.
Of course it’s Brexit. We ensured that european hauliers make a big detour around us, while kicking “our” staff out of the country – and made sure they can’t return by vetoing to add HGV Drivers to the skilled visa application.
This isn’t a job where you just put out an application and people swarm you for that job, i know that i couldn’t be an HGV Driver, for multiple reasons. Everyone has seen a 40t lorry struggle at one point or another, i wouldn’t want to be the guy blocking a roundabout for half an hour being stuck.
This isn’t “bad planning”, it’s a direct result of one of the main promises of Brexit.
The prime minister and his cabinet have publicly played down the extent of the problem. A senior government source said some ministers appeared keen to avoid the perception that Brexit was to blame, and were therefore reluctant to relax immigration rules.
“They” know who/what’s to blame. I don’t understand how people can talk themselves into believing it’s anything but. This is a direct result of Brexit (in fact, as mentioned, it was one of the main promises, and we knew this beforehand and were told that “brits” will fill the gaps). At some point people need to accept that.
I’ll freely admit that if it were just me, i’d have not left the EU – but we did, i accept the result, at some point Brexiters need to accept that they have to take responsibility for what’s happening now rather than making up excuses like “covid” (which is absolute bollocks, no other country currently faces mile long queues at the petrol station and empty shelves in the supermarket – we drove to fricking two tescos and one asdas yesterday to FIND mineral water).
