It’s too little too late anyway. This problem has been coming all year and the experts were trying to warn the government all year but it fell on death ears.

Seen a few interviews with european HGV drivers and they really aren't interested
Who can blame them?

I’m sure some of them would welcome a hard border - wankers.Looks like the NI Unionist parties have just signed their own death warrant. They’ve all just made a joint statement saying that they all oppose the NI protocol. It’s either that, a return of the backstop or a united Ireland. They don’t seem to have any suggestions for anything else.
I think they’ve seriously misread the room and are banking on a return of a hard border. I don’t believe personally that there’s a wholesale appetite in the Protestant community for a return to a hard border. Especially true of border communities where large numbers work in the south or work in businesses that rely on free movement of goods in both directions.I’m sure some of them would welcome a hard border - wankers.
So what about the staff shortages in the wider haulage industry, care home industry, farming industry, meat processing industry, service industry etc etc etc. You clearly think you’re being clever by being stupid.Interview with a garage owner saying usually they have 3-4 deliveries a week and now they are having to try and get 2 a day to keep up with people panic buying.
If only people had common sense.
Still, it means people like Tony can shout Brexit again.

Blinded by politics/brexit would be to deny neither have anything to do with the labour shortage in many many industries.Hardly being stupid. When you are so blinding by politics / brexit then any logic goes out of the window.

But the problem that was highlighted (and caused people to be stupid and panic buy) is getting the fuel deliveries to the petrol station due to a lack of drivers. There are some problems in Europe, so part of it can be attributed to the pandemic creating a backlog of testing and certification. However, our shortage seems to be much bigger than elsewhere and is being flagged as an issue across many other industries such as food deliveries, so other factors must be at play as well. We've got fewer drivers after we decided to alienate the immigrant workforce. So brexit has to be considered partly to blame.
It’s massively bigger than elsewhere and the fact is that the one part of the UK we left in the single market (Northern Ireland) isn’t having the same issues the rest of the UK is having.But the problem that was highlighted (and caused people to be stupid and panic buy) is getting the fuel deliveries to the petrol station due to a lack of drivers.

You’ll note that the people all over the brexit threads telling remainers that they are wrong aren’t all over them gloating about the benefits. And before someone suggests that maybe leavers have more humility than to gloat I’m going to call bollocks on that in advance. You’re talking about a group of people who have spent four years gloating ha ha we won you lost get over it.Yeah the issue was to a very small amount of petrol stations.
You whip people up to panic and it multiplies.
I have never said Brexit isn't to blame for anything, I am just pointing out that there's a strange obsession where people just want to shout Brexit about everything and anything in every thread.

YesWhat are people doing with it? If people who don't normally use multiple tanks a week have filled up shouldn't it be back to normal?
How am I telling the wrong person? The only reason we’re having this conversation this morning is because you decided to bring it up in the first place and deliberately decided to name check me into your post. If you don’t want to talk to me about you could go a long way to stop that by leaving me out of it when you choose to comment on the subject.You are telling the wrong person.
As I said, assumptions being made. Nice aimless rant though.
It's just another thing for people to pick a side on and then run with it for years.

Best get the nut roast ordered early then.I guess the garages are now having to play catch up so will probably be a couple of weeks before it's back to normal.
Next thing will be people fighting over Turkeys in Tesco.

Shortage of Christmas turkeys is inevitable, warns poultry farmer
A leading Norfolk poultry farmer warned there will "definitely" be a shortage of turkeys this Christmas, as government efforts to resolve…www.edp24.co.uk
It's simple, stop giving people as much of a choice not to work any more and claim benefits or that they have a poorly shoulder.
If there are jobs out there like the Turkey Farm that provides a minimum / living wage and somebody on benefits turns it down. Their benefits should be stopped.
Again with Furlough ending, would think there are going to be tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of people looking for jobs soon.
Personally don't see the fuss, if there aren't many Turkeys about just have an alternative.
I heard someone from the industry on the radio, said these aren't minimum wage jobs, in some cases considerably higher
