Feel Good Factor

[gulliver1]

Now that Brexit is History, and Britain has taken back control of it's own Borders and surrounding Sea.
Stopped freedom of movement, Stopped immigration and curtailed refugees.
Everything in the Country is plentifull again . Britain is once again a powerfull nation on its own.
Is there now a mighty,..... Feel Good Factor...... all over the Country?.

Well for months now, most on here were bashing Gully when he kept stating that Brexit would cause massive problems, mainly shortages to shops, that is now happening!! Then we had the ones that blamed covid, then we had ones blaming shortages of drivers. Well today the boss of Tescos has stated such, blaming Brexit. Any more bashing to be done???:0)

[gulliver1]

21.30 Just have to give you best answer T/C . Maybe some of the brexiteers on here who were radicalised into voting Brexit by Boris and Farage, might be having second thoughts now.

I don't normally engage with Gulliver's threads or posts because they are usually inane drivel. However, I'll make an exception this time just to explain that recent shortages in shops are mainly due to a shortage of HGV drivers. This has been caused partly by the "Pingdemic" and, to a limited degree, Brexit. But it seems the lorry drivers who left the UK because of Brexit or the pandemic did not take up jobs in the EU. Many countries in Europe are suffering the same problems. Germany is facing a shortage of 45,000 truck drivers, with around 30,000 leaving the profession every year. This compares with only 2,000 people receiving truck-driving qualifications each year. France has a shortage of 20,000 drivers, while road freight associations in Sweden, Denmark and Norway report shortages of 5,000, 2,500 and 3,000, respectively. The problem hauliers face is because they previously relied on a seemingly endless supply of migrant labour, many of whom would work for lower pay thus depressing the standard of living for UK lorry drivers. They failed to plan for the inevitable change that would take place upon our departure, despite having over four year's notice. It's managers who manage businesses, not government.

As I've said before, I made my decision that I would vote to leave, if ever given the chance, in 1992. At that time Boris Johnson was 28 years old and was working for the Daily Telegraph. Nigel Farage was also 28 and was working as a commodity trader on the London Metal Exchange. I'd never heard of either of them and neither had any influence on my decision - a decision which I do not regret in the slightest. Yes, I feel good. We've left the EU which was something I'd looked forward to with great relish for almost thirty years. A few problems caused as a result of that does not temper my joy in any way.

HGV drivers, and the diesel that powers their wagons, are vital for most consumer goods. Without the HGV drivers we would likely starve.

"The driver shortages have been affecting the global road freight market for around 15 years. The issue comes as the pool of truck drivers is contracting but demand for transport is rising. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated the already alarming issue of driver shortages as new drivers have been unable to train and take their tests and Covid restrictions make the job even less attractive."

As NJ said, this shortage has been ongoing for years and must be resolved.
