    Yep, COVID acted like a catalyst to the labour effects of Brexit. Eastern Europe has been levelling up over the past few years. Will be interesting to see how the service sector copes now restaurants and bars are opening up. Lots of jobs going for chefs, waiters and bar staff.

    So basically you’re saying that they’ve gone home due to Brexit! ?? QED.

    True. Only that the current HGV crisis is down to Brexit. ?

    I understand that in 2019 the Tories stated that people on a work, study or family visa pay at £400 surcharge Boris Johnson appoints £160k a year £400k Tory donor Richard Sharp as chairman. Funnily enough he used to be Rich Sunak's boss at Goldman Sachs. Also worked with Johnson when he was...

    Agree with that 100%?

    That’s another example of personal prejudices. BBC is now government controlled and hardly mentions the word Brexit. The Sun, Express & Mail all peddle the right wing agenda and stir up Xenophobic hatred against Johnny foreigner coming over hear and stealing our jobs or anything that doesn’t...

    Might that also be down to a lack of GP’s? Appreciate that there is a total lack of opposition at the moment but is the general consensus that 10 years down the line the Tories are doing a good job?

    Agree re Blair. Compared to now, the Blair years look pretty good. Unfortunately he tied his shirt tails to the yanks re Iraq. Did a good job with Good Friday agreement. Tories are laughing at the moment as the opposition is split and fighting amongst itself. If you look very carefully in the...

    Problem is, despite what the Tories are saying (very unlike them to lie and mislead) the NHS will continue to be mismanaged and by default, we’ll end up with a private system as per the good old US of A.

    Agree with a lot of what you say. I do believe that management consultants have grown fat on ripping off the public sector. As for sales, that’s quite a niche job and would argue that a good sales team is essential to any business. Put it this way, none running a business would have a business...

    Ok Tel, I’ll give you that one ?I think I read somewhere that the Tories had promised to cut down the number of shiny suited brigade but due to COVID thousands more had been taken on in London. That on top of the lucrative contracts they’ve been handing out to their management consultant mates.

    So which civil servants have a cushy life then Tel? All I see is under investment, antiquated IT systems, lack of staff and those that are left are trying to manage mpossible workloads made even worse by increased bureaucracy imposed by politicians due to the latest media outcry over the latest...

    No point in wages going up if prices go up at the same time. What’s a nothing job? Do you mean, the public sector where basically there’s no profit in their expertise? I’m sure you can come up with something better than that? ??

    Online Trades College FRAUD!

    May be my cynical mind but could it be that they’re signing people up faster than they have course places available? Coin the money in and regulate the lack of training centre places by fixing entrance exam criteria?

    Late 80,s ambulance dispute. Army worked with police out of Brentford Police Station in West London. One of the army girls is as driving a big army armoured ambulance. Car pulled out from a side turning in front of her and she just drove over the front of the car flattening the bonnet. We also...

    Army, police, fire & ambulance are all good at crashing their vehicles whether helping each other out or not.

    Are lorry drivers (or lack of) having an effect on any of your regular supplies?

    I think the pandemic has acted like a catalyst for the effects of brexit, certainly in respect of labour. Not too sure about cheap labour though. A lot of the Eastern European lads that went back are probably staying put now due to levelling up in Europe and them being able to earn more back...

    I’m not a haulage expert but I suspect many of the main European haulage companies operate across many of the EU states with no border issues moving around from job to job. This used to happen in the UK. Agree re the media induced panic buying started by that BP report that it was restricting...
