"I have just witnessed a tragic yet hopeful scene in my local supermarket . Young boy, about 8 years old was shopping with his mum ‘Can I have some Haribos mum, please ‘ ‘Yes of course son, you have been a good boy’ They went where the Haribos are usually stocked, empty shelves . A tear run downs the boys cheek, ‘Why has this happened ?’ he cries ‘It is because a few silly and mean people voted for Brexit ‘ his mum answers ‘Why would they do such a thing, are they stupid ‘ the boy says through his tears ‘No one knows’ his mum says softly ‘Fuck Brexit ‘ the boy mutters His mum didn’t scold him, she just smiled abs patted him on the head ‘Yes, fuck Brexit ‘ she said True story, and hope for the future " | |||

"Foreign workers left the UK drivers list. The Pandemic meant vacancies rose by 450%. UK testing centres closed for over nine months. Loosing 30,000 potential drivers last year. Online ordering became one of the fastest growing industries. The effect of Brexit on driver availability was miniscule compared to the other factors. People love to cite what 'fits' their hatred of Brexit just to argue how wrong Brexit was. But hey, No change there then. " Drivers have left an industry already struggling to recruit. Drivers have not come back due to Brexit. Somerset council bin collection services are 25 driver short out of 180 jobs as drivers head for better paid high jobs. Brexit has added to the problem by a huge amount. Foreign hauliers don’t want to come to the U.K. in addition to us losing U.K. based drivers. Blaming it on pessimism is just avoiding the fact Brexit has caused problems whether you want to accuse other of hatred is your business. Being at the sharp end I’m telling you how it is . I don’t care how you view it the reality is clear to see. | |||

"30,000 drivers not qualifying last year has absolutely nothing to do with it. 450% increase in vacancies since online ordering has nothing to do with it. Yea. Gotya'. (typo)" Of course a lower number of newly qualified has had an effect . Internet means less truck drivers we’ve already discussed this. So that’s using less drivers. The economy has shrunk as have sales since before Brexit when it wasn’t an issue so again less drivers. Economy shrunk 10% which if you feed downwards it’s pro rate is roughly 30k drivers so no real effect of no tests. If a haulier who trains his own apprentices says he’s lost 12% of drivers who have gone home to the EU resulting in 300 trucks standing idle as the young drivers are no longer in the U.K. that’s not related to newly qualified that 300 drivers who have left. They were employed in 2020. Brexit is the reason for them leaving and nothing to do with training. In reality there are 500k HGV drivers in the U.K. so it’s not a qualifying thing at all . It’s a willing worker thing. We’ve sent the willing young ripe drivers packing. | |||

"30,000 drivers not qualifying last year has absolutely nothing to do with it. 450% increase in vacancies since online ordering has nothing to do with it. Yea. Gotya'. (typo) Of course a lower number of newly qualified has had an effect . Internet means less truck drivers we’ve already discussed this. So that’s using less drivers. The economy has shrunk as have sales since before Brexit when it wasn’t an issue so again less drivers. Economy shrunk 10% which if you feed downwards it’s pro rate is roughly 30k drivers so no real effect of no tests. If a haulier who trains his own apprentices says he’s lost 12% of drivers who have gone home to the EU resulting in 300 trucks standing idle as the young drivers are no longer in the U.K. that’s not related to newly qualified that 300 drivers who have left. They were employed in 2020. Brexit is the reason for them leaving and nothing to do with training. In reality there are 500k HGV drivers in the U.K. so it’s not a qualifying thing at all . It’s a willing worker thing. We’ve sent the willing young ripe drivers packing. " This is where you are wrong these drivers had a choice to stay if they wanted to under the settlement scheme just as everyone else did.If they chose to leave i would deduce from that they were only here temporary anyway and so it would have been a problem sooner or later. | |||

"Hi Cat Just on your point of the shortage of tests due to Covid. An example of stupidity in this country, certain testing stations are insisting the examiners take their holidays that they didn’t take during Covid in August or September this year or they will lose them . A massive over 70 k driver shortage shortage and this is their attitude. You can’t make this stuff up! Why not compensate them with cash or carry them over . Bloody ridiculous. | |||

Etc etc . Who knew 25% of forklift drivers in the U.K. are EU nationals. Interesting if that starts to become an issue. The roads will be full of cars doing click and collect from Amazon with aunt Karen having to get ip a ladder to pick her boxes off the top shelves. | |||

"If anyone runs short of Haribos and your kids are crying Drop me a message and I’ll send you a Red Cross parcel with some. Production in the Pontefract factory is still turning tons of sweets out daily and the factory shop is open 6 days a week no shortage here Was in my Sainsburys this morning. No shortage there. Even had boxes of the special editions. Morrison's too. No shortage. I saw a little boy and I said to him do you think that there is a shortage of Haribos? He answered with a glint in his eye and said: Stop whinging, Missus an even if there was, there are plenty of great British sweets available. Cheeky little muffin.
Hi Cat
Just on your point of the shortage of tests due to Covid. An example of stupidity in this country, certain testing stations are insisting the examiners take their holidays that they didn’t take during Covid in August or September this year or they will lose them . A massive over 70 k driver shortage shortage and this is their attitude. You can’t make this stuff up!
Why not compensate them with cash or carry them over . Bloody ridiculous. "Hey Jackal, Funnily enough, a few people have said to me that they have been allowed to carry some holidays and be paid for others and still work. But overall, they MUST take their entitlement or else. But where working goes over agreed hours, they may just say you HAVE to have it as holiday. Everything it seems is a contract these days. I think that many companies are now scared of retrospective deals that they do with their staff with regard to entitlements. They just don't want to be hauled before a tribunal in the future with a he said she said scenario. Plus doing deals with large swathes of staff might just not be worth the hassle to HR. There seems to be a lot of non-flexibility theses days. | |||

"You would have thought with it being a government agency they would have not worried too much and just said if you want to work here’s a bonus but please sign this form to say it’s ok and you agreed. If it’s happening across the country that’s pushing 2-3000 tests lost. And 1400 - 1600 passes. Crackers !! | |||

"BTW . . . 30,000 HGV driving tests not taking place last year due to the pandemic. That is from RHA." Yes and a 60% pass rate so lost 20,000. Of which only three fifths work in transport . Others are councils , fire brigade, cranes etc etc so actual number around 12-14,000 lost. We’re short 70k. It’s been affected by Covid but Brexit is the main driver this year . Excuse the pun. | |||

"I feel your pain . Our drivers union rep at the time was a good guy snd very practical. We had a some grumbling off one driver 25 years ago when we first hired Lithuanians. He demanded the union rep come to see me to threaten strikes for employing cheap labour. After showing that they were on the same pay deal the union reps comment was, “ well in that case I’ll tell the whinging bastard to wind his necks in” It all calmed own and that was the last problem we had. Whilst we paid the going rate we always treated the guys well with early finishes for family events or holidays to give them chance to get currency etc. We had go-karting days and barbecues days with families so in the end had a waiting list of drivers. Good memories . | |||

The haulage industry has blamed the pandemic and Brexit for thousands of unfilled HGV driver jobs. It is official, Brexit makes children cry
Don't they have a factory in Castleford? Northern England? If so, how come Europe is the cause of all these shortages?
Logistics
So, they got a factory in Brexitannia, customers in Brexitannia, massive amounts of unemployed sheeple in Brexitannia, yet they can't get the staff or the ingredients to make haribos and deliver them to supermarkets across Brexitannia?
Really?"Yep | |||

"Some people are still very bitter Yep. Why are they ‘bitter’ ? I should rephrase , why do you think they are bitter " I can't speak for everybody, but I can speak for myself. The reasons I am bitter about the whole Brexitannia shambles are as follows:- 1 My great grandfather went to Belgium to fight for your right to freedom. Leaving aside the covid regulations, I can now no longer decide on a Friday tea time to jump into my car and visit his grave on Saturday morning. I've got a whole list of shit to get together before I set off. He lies within earshot of the Menin Gate. 2. My local supermarket no longer carries all the items in stock which I need to make a simple recipe because there is now a shortage of truck drivers, because we sent the Europeans home and the Brits are too god damn idle or embarrassed to be a truck driver. 3. Brexitannia is now doing deals around the world to import chicken, beef, fruit, vegetables, half way around the globe by either aeroplanes or heavy fuel burning container ships, because that is supposed to be cheaper / better / tariff free, than trucks using the electrified channel tunnel. 4. Because I have personally spent much time with ordinary people in most European countries, chatting about day to day shit. Nowhere is perfect. Jeez, you only need look at the political shitball of Belgium for starters. 5. Because the full name of our Prime Minister is Alexander (Greek) Boris (Russian / Slavic meaning "small; battle glory") de Pfeffle (a German & Bavarian family, our Boris could be related to the first female French Open doubles champion) Johnson (a name of English and Scottish origin) So, Our Boris is of Greek / Russian / Slavic / German / English / Scottish decendency. Interesting. Bet this doesn't reach front page of daily fail or daily sexpress or the sun in the mirror of stars. Shall I keep on going, or is that enough for you to chew over for now? Bitter, Yep. | |||
