The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

Uncle Wally One Ball said:
Cameron should never have put it to the people. It was an internal tory party row he thought he would fix by putting it a referendum. Anyway, once voted on the government should have managed it better than just letting this current bag of shit come in and take control if their party and simply refuse to negotiate on anything important. So it is the govts fault, from start to end including let two influential figures in it in Gove and Johnson play along in convincing the fucktards that 300m a month could go the NHS which are now selling off anyway.

Rees-Mogg even transferred one of his funds to Dublin and confirmed, in the prospectus for his company, that this was to mitigate the impact of Brexit. His duplicitousness meant that he told the nation, but not his investors, a completely different story.
 
A lot of the issue is down to the change in Ir 35. Same in Manchester with concrete lads. A lot of the foreign hgv drivers have gone home as paying more tax and national insurance now having to go on the books. Problem will sort itself out in time.

Saying 'Brexit has contributed to the problem' is the same as saying the smell from the Mersey contributed to my fart.

Whilst technically true, utterly irrelevant.

Im not sure that holds much weight just a day after the government decide to allow temporary visas for drivers. It quite clearly has some relevance as that’s the absolute last thing this government in particular would have wanted to do.

Bear in mind it’s not just about the driver shortage too, other rules brought in due to
Brexit are a contributing factor as well in terms of why we’re starting to struggle more than elsewhere that also has the same if not bigger issues with driver numbers.

I don’t think it’s the main issue in the industry, nor have I seen many argue it is. Just that it clearly hasn’t helped and only added to what already was a challenging situation.

You said that everyone was using Brexit as an excuse when it isn't. Now you are saying that it is technically true though irrelevant. The reality is that Brexit is a leading cause of a shortfall of employees in many industries and that the government has not assisted industry in planning for that shortfall because they lied to the nation about trade deals being ready and waiting.

I honestly think it's being used as an excuse by an industry was already in decline.

Regulation has made a difference in a small way, but that really is papering over the cracks in the grand scheme of things.

I see the Remoaners have hijacked another thread. There is a politics section for you all to gather round and moan to each other how it is not fair and the big bad man made us leave.

Why would you make a post like that at this time?

Because it is a big factor in the issues that have now come to the fore.

Had the Media not blasted bollocks about a petrol shortage there would be no issue at all now. Some would say it's been purposely created so somebody makes a lot of money. I filled up Wednesday evening I was the only one at the pump A day later they were queueing down the street, don't tell me they suddenly realised they all needed petrol.

The environment for that panic buying has been created by people's selfishness, granted, the media bigging up the issue for profit, granted, but also the fact that there are shortages in many areas.
