yes but that automation itself needs people to create that automated system. I've been in certain areas of IT all of my life and there has never, ever been so much work around all over Europe and it's growing every year. Automation frees humans to do other things, such as innovate and innovation improves lives and creates the next level of employment. That's always been the case.

France, Spain and Germany are facing a potential shortfall of 400,000 drivers between them. The US are facing an unprecedented shortage as well. Brexit again?

The link I posted above clearly shows 'brexit' as the key factor in the shortfall in the UK. Enjoy your turkeys from France this Christmas, nothing to do with brexit? Lol "UK turkey producers warn that labor shortages in the poultry sector could have consumers turning to French imports for the Christmas season."

I haven't read anywhere why the companies haven't trained any drivers in the last 5 years when brexit got voted.

If it turns out there is a shortage of turkeys, or anything else, it seems a fair exchange for migrant workers not being exploited in minimum wage jobs by fat cat business owners , wouldn’t you say?

Badger is correct, automation will significantly reduce employment. Edited by Stirlingsays (26 Sep 2021 8.40pm) Companies need to be at the cutting edge to ensure a competitive economy. A competitive economy will create more jobs. Failure to automate killed our manufacturing industry. Having driven across the country this weekend, the petrol crisis seems to have been purely brought on due to the media and stupid customers. Go at the right time and there's empty stations and empty queues. The long term need for HGV drivers in reducing. In less than 10 years the sale of new petrol vehicles will be illegal. HS2 will free up capacity on the existing rail network for freight - where much more can be used with much less staff.

This article from Bloomberg this morning seems to think it's not just a UK problem. Bit worrying that part of the problem is "too little wind" over the Summer months. And Bloomberg is hardly a sensationalist tabloid. "Europe’s Energy Crisis Is Coming for the Rest of the World, Too"
Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry. |

I am annoyed that the government did not push the big companies on this, but they (government and corporations) had plenty of time but sat back and did very little.

So is this or isn't this to do with Brexit? Because you seem to be arguing it's nothing to do with Brexit, whilst claiming the lack of migrant workers providing cheap labour (ie. Brexit) is the cause.
