We went into Brexit short of HGV drivers. Brexit increased the shortfall. The pandemic increased the shortfall, as many HGV drivers were in the highly vulnerable category for getting severe covid...and they stopped training and testing new drivers with the pandemic.There has been talk of a shortage of lorry drivers for months so why has the fuel issue only now happened?
Could it be so we take our attention off the government, as some minister said just after the 911 terrorist attack/ now would be a very good time to bury bad news.
Who would have thought delivery drivers would be vital in a pandemic where we were told to stay at home?
Of course fuel delivery drivers need specialist training because of the dangers of what they carry, and unloading it safely into the underground fuel storage tanks at the petrol stations.
I don't believe we have fuel about to go off.
I just think we are getting more dithering and delay in facing up to taking decisions that some of the loudmouths in the political ranks won't like.
They have failed to see far enough ahead. How the hell did they manage the vaccines triumph? Surely being fore sighted there should have been applied elsewhere in public policy, but no.
