I thought Politico were a left leaning American based outfit and we all know where the Guardian stand, so those aren’t biased reports at all. I’d like to know where these reports get their “estimated” figures. When a person is leaving the U.K., they are not asked any questions so how they know what their occupation is or what their intentions are,is quite mystifying . Thousands of potential lorry drivers have been unable to learn and pass their tests due to COVID.
Ok, here's something more at the level of the brexiteers on here: "Retail bosses today warned the industry faces a shortfall of 90,000 lorry drivers as a perfect storm of Covid and Brexit strangles supply chains and threatens a shortage of popular gifts and staple foods." No escape from the facts but it all goes away if you close your eyes.

Maybe Christmas will start to mean something again other than gluttony and people getting in even more debt for presents that nobody needs. Suspect it will do our collective spirits good to have a rather more basic festive period.

Not sure why you are the least bit concerned as you no longer live in the UK and presumably have no intention of returning. How do they know how many lorry drivers have left the UK because of Brexit?

Maybe not all brexit as according to other posters only 25k went home. Why blame brexit on the other 65k when it's clearly not the case.

So why have you been commenting on Afghanistan as you don't live there and I doubt ever have? - same with the US and many other countries you have been commenting in including China. I used to live in the UK and still have family there but I can comment on any country's news just like you or anyone else. Edited by Orange1290 (26 Aug 2021 4.03pm)

I'm curious about the idea that some online view Hungary as some kind of future home for whites. People wildly overplay a kind of kindred spirit angle due to race. Culturally and language-wise it's still another world and you'd just get the immigrant experience so casually offered when the shoe in on the other foot. It's strange isn't it. Hungary, certainly Budapest, is a dump. Rife with corrupt Politicians and many industries are controlled by the mob. Not really something we want to be compared with.

Germany didn't have thousands of truck drivers leave after brexit. The UK had thousands of European truck drivers living in the UK that did. In fact brexit helped the European truck business by returning thousands of drivers to the EU, the situation would have been worse here without the help of brexit. I know that's a bit complicated for you to understand but if you try it for a few hours you might just get it. Edited by Orange1290 (26 Aug 2021 4.21pm)
