Renton 2,143 Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 1 minute ago, Toonpack said: Lot's of drivers are paid by the "Km travelled" sitting not moving for 2 extra days is not an incentive The salaried one's companies will just pass on those extra costs. Saw something yesterday where drivers were complaining that their allowed hours driving expired whilst waiting for the check's to be done and they had no-where to go, their tachographs will log they were driving illegally if they move on. Utter carnage. Conversely I have heard many European hauliers (which make up 85% of personnel involved with UK EU freight movement) are paid per job. If they are stuck for days in a covid infested Kent lorry park they won't get paid. Many will just sack it off. What then? Link to post Share on other sites

Then we eat turnips and beetroot (per job rate will likely be calculated on distance to travel I reckon). 3 day jobs taking 5 near on 40% reduction in their earning potential.

Aye, these are not teething issues, these are intractable issues caused by leaving the single market which we will have to live with forever. It will make our exports unattractive, our imports expensive, and as for services... Link to post Share on other sites

Alex 5,928 Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 Without watching more than about 10 seconds of that video, surely that infers leaving the EU had made illegal immigration worse. As for the patter about the fishing industry, they’re fucked. In 5 years time they’ll still be fucked Link to post Share on other sites

I would like to feel schadenfreude, but unfortunately it is just utter bewilderment and anger. We had a Christmas parcel that couldn’t get sent in time because if the covid restrictions. We tried to send it after new year and it’s costing more than double to send. Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Gloom 3,068 Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 (edited) this seriously isn't news. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-55734277 we have known this would be the case for years now - ever since theresa may's lancaster house speech when the tory party decided that brexit meant leaving the single market. the headline should really be: brexit voters get what they voted for Edited January 21 by Dr Gloom Link to post Share on other sites
