This is the government you're talking about? Our government? The one that struggled to "honour the result of the referendum" as they promised?DefTrap wrote: ↑Tue Sep 28, 2021 7:45 pm
It would have been easy to avoid and planned in the 5 years hence and be a killer policy - evict immigrants, save an industry, give jobs to Brits, improve conditions.
But instead it's incompetence and desperately trying to blame someone else. Sadly no EU to blame, that ship has sailed.
Yes, they could have had a 5 year plan to train more lorry drivers and drive up their wages etc, but what about all the other jobs that were going to be in demand? The government never has enough information to plan to the required level of detail. The best they can do is set the right conditions and hope for the best. The more they interfere the more the law of unintended consequences takes over.
