Um actually I think you'll find it's 127 drivers! :roll:

Today the Times is reporting that “only 27 fuel tanker drivers from the EU have applied to work in Britain under the government’s emergency scheme to tackle the petrol crisis”.

In his BBC Breakfast interview Boris Johnson said the number was actually 127. He says the government asked the road haulage industry to provide the names of foreign drivers who would want to come to the UK, and that only 127 names have been produced so far.

He said this proved what the government has been saying about the HGV driver shortage in the UK being part of a global problem. “It’s a fascinating illustration of the problem of the shortage,” he said.

It means only a fraction of the 300 visas available for HGV drivers in the fuel industry are set to be taken up in a setback to efforts to replenish supplies.


Such a low uptake proving it's a global shortage. :lol: :fp:

It doesn't need to make sense, it'll satisfy his base that it's a global problem and that Boris is doing his best.

Andrew Bridgen making a tit of himself on Irish radio.

I look forward to 2 years time when we are a highly skilled, highly paid country with no problems at all. I'm sure that prediction will be just as accurate as all of the other Brexit promises.

Apparently the EU is considering offering five year visas to UK hgv drivers who want to work over there.

Amusement under late capitalism is the prolongation of work.

The boss of Intel says the US chipmaker is no longer considering building a factory in the UK because of Brexit.

Pat Gelsinger told the BBC that before the UK left the EU, the country "would have been a site that we would have considered".

But he added: "Post-Brexit... we're looking at EU countries and getting support from the EU".

Trator*

Some moron actually spray painted "MACRON TRATOR" on my neighbour's house because they had an eu poster in their window.

But they couldn't fit it in so it actually said

MACRON
TRAT
OR

Yeah they wrote MACRON LOVER or LOVE MACRON somewhere else as well.

Some of the most 2 bit graffiti I've seen.
