Anyone chanting 'its NOT a brexit problem' needs educating. The shortage of HGV drivers has not happened overnight, for well documented reasons. The crisis has happened because of the ongoing shortage, coupled with covid, and most certainly exasperated by the loss of thousands of Foreign HGV drivers who could not renew their work visas after Brexit.
A Romanian HGV driver, interviewed on TV concerning temporary Visas, said he would only return to the UK if he were given a 12 month visa as it was otherwise not worth his while for just three months. If Brexit had not happened the lack of HGV drivers would not be half as bad.
Only those who don't want to admit this cannot understand it.
