....so how was it caused in the EUSSR?

companies hire low-paid labour because (a) they want to make money and (b) their customers want everything on the cheap. I don't see this changing.

[tonyav]

I don't see this changing.

Or do I regarding the Labour party.

[Mozz71]

Well, at least the lack of lorry drivers should help the fuel last a little longer. Silver linings and all.

[Hopkirk]

It will also hasten people changing to electric vehicles. Another good thing.

[naomi24]

jno, //that suggests the driver shortages in Europe are not as bad as here, then?//

If what were told is right - that European drivers have gone back to Europe - they shouldn't have a problem at all really should they? I wonder how they coped before that happened?

[ToraToraTora]

yep BA to the judge once more, bang on as usual. Shame you have to spell that out time and again for the anti British.

TTT : 16,141,241 ( sixteen million , one hundred and forty-one thousand, two hundred and forty one ) UK citizens voted to Remain in the EU. Are they all 'Anti British' ?

[davebro]

//Are they all 'Anti British' ?//

No - just the ones who keep harping on about the result!

[AuntPG]

So, if you voted to Remain and obviously lost, you have no right to criticise the process or what has happened since? In the same vein, everyone who voted Labour in the last election has no right to criticise the Tory party?
Calling people 'Anti-British' because they wanted to remain in one of the biggest trading associations in the World is ignorant in every sense.
BTW I'm not invested in either remain or leave as I could not vote.

[New Judge]

//...companies hire low-paid labour because (a) they want to make money and (b) their customers want everything on the cheap. I don't see this changing.//

Then both groups are in for disappointment.

[Mozz71]

Well APG, it IS Tora's favourite insult. He bands it about on here with the regularly of Gully and his anti-Boris comments.

[AuntPG]

To say someone is 'Anti British' when they are British Citizens is a bit different from persistant 'anti-Boris' comments.

[Mozz71]

I wasn't talking about what was being said, just the frequency of them happening.

[AuntPG]

Well, I suppose they keep the views up on AB. Without AB they would have to find a soapbox and a corner to stand on wouldn't they ;-)

[ToraToraTora]

APG: "TTT : 16,141,241 ( sixteen million , one hundred and forty-one thousand, two hundred and forty one ) UK citizens voted to Remain in the EU. Are they all 'Anti British' ? " - no I think they voted the way they did because it was what they thought was best for Britain. I do think they have an inherent lack of confidence in their own nation if they think they'd rather it was run by unelected foreign bureaucrats, but no I don't think they are anti British. The anti British are the ones that spin every story against us, who cherry pick stats to suit their view, those who always side with foreigners. They wish Ill on us every day just so they can say "I told you so" - I hope that clears it up APG.

There is a bit about driver shortage world wide

Il manque 40.000 à 50.000 professionnels du transport routier ...https://www.bfmtv.com › transports— Selon la Fédération nationale des transports routiers (FNTR), entre 40.000 et 50.000 personnes manquent aux entreprises, soit deux fois plus qu'.....

Chine ( oops La Chine je crois ) is short as well.

// 16,141,241 UK citizens voted to Remain in the EU.//

just trying to level down the standard after my french post

[AuntPG]

TTT //no I think they voted the way they did because it was what they thought was best for Britain. //

As did the Leavers, I presume

//The anti British are the ones that spin every story against us, who cherry pick stats to suit their view, those who always side with foreigners. They wish Ill on us every day just so they can say "I told you so"//

I'm taking those comments as either tongue in cheek or baited. The alternative is frightening lol!

Stop the arguments Brexit caused all the problems , Shortage of lorry drivers, petrol queues , empty shelves etc, etc all directly caused through BREXIT.
Just admit it Brexiteers you got all wrong, and there's plenty more to come........ End of!..

[Hopkirk]

No
