The Express seems just as stupid under Reach as it did under the previous ownership. It may be written in a house style that's as simplistic as a Ladybird book, but at least the Daily Star has changed tack.

The express has run a lot of increasingly crazy front page stories recently. More alarmist than normal.

What are they actually talking about? I'm not sure why the EU doesn't sue over this kind of thing.

A lot of stories about supermarkets increasing lorry driver wages or adding incentives to join up.

I'm not sure how this is a positive for anyone but the lorry drivers. Surely this is just going to get passed onto the consumer? How is that good for people?

Thinking out loud here.

Supermarkets are ultra competitive when it comes to protecting their market share so they really won't want to dramatically increase prices. Obviously possible it gets passed on to the consumer but they may try and squeeze their supply chain elsewhere.

It is really becoming more and more evident that the economy was being propped up by cheap labour from abroad.

I bet the racist strawberry floats who voted for brexit based on immigration are losing their minds at the thought of Afgans being relocated here.

I've already seen the usual "why take them when we have servicemen living rough! Would you house a refugee" rubbish.

Could let them live in the Nandos that are currently closed because there's no chicken?

Yeah but that's the pandemics fault!!!!!!!!

Just don't mention that Nando's isn't having any issues in the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland.....

[Lex-Man]

Nados out of chicken this is serious lets get the army out to supply.

The majority of people I've heard talk about the hgv driver shortage seem to think it's to do with covid and not Brexit even when I've said it's Brexit they still don't believe me.

Given that this Nando thing is not an issue in Northern Ireland, and these problems with HGV drivers were not present last year, you would think people would use a bit of critical thinking.

I know. I expect too much at times.
