People of the U.K. you are completely nuts. Last year you stood outside and applauded essential workers how the fuck do you think most of them get to work? Shortage of truck drivers, how do you think the ones we have fuel their trucks? What a bunch of self centred, ignorant idiots. Queuing that’s going to help the pollution levels, pumping out exhaust fumes while waiting! Stupid is as stupid does!
So what if we have shortages and especially for Xmas! You can go without your bag of crisp or thar extra crumpet. We’ve survived worse, so you don’t have a big choice, so what! Normal service has not resumed and we have to learn to live with it.
Brexit and Covid are factors but this was coming from a long way back. The two issues have certainly not helped but there has been warnings for a very long time! Brexit is far more to blame than Covid, even if no HGV testing has been available. Europe has a shortage of goods drivers in almost every country.
It’s time a radical rethink of how we deliver produce. We used to deliver more by train? We have a canal system and before you laugh at that suggestion, not everything needs to delivered fast and surely we can invent green water transport. I don’t like the idea but smaller vehicles then moving goods and don’t need HGV training. Obviously there are practicalities that require large bulk transportation. How many trucks deliver full and return empty, is there a way of utilising that capacity? As for getting drivers from Europe, what a joke, would you return to a country that did not want you, to experience shortages, find overpriced accommodation and deal with British? One more thing why would you want to spend time driving on our roads anyway? I have done one journey of 90 miles recently, on a Friday, M40/M25 took 4 hours, yes there were two accidents and the inevitable hold up on the M25 but 4 hours for 90 miles!
Anti-vaxers confronting school children outside schools gates is completely unacceptable and they should be ashamed (and arrested) Believe whatever you want, that’s your right but don’t impose your views on impressionable kids. There is enough crap they have to deal with without this being confronted with idiots
Having read about everything that’s is happening we may just stay in Crete. If we did not have to pick up the cats I think we would.
Stay well
