Dragging Brexit in to everything! Sweet FA to do with Brexit and everything to do with the effects of the pandemic China kindly gifted to the world.

Not 100% the cause of Brexit but the biggest factor by far is BREXIT.... this was predicted exactly the way it happened.

Still at least we don't have those "bloody foreigners" over here doing the jobs we don't have workers for and paying taxes and national insurance...

Wages rose steeply again.

The Remainers always get angry when the British working class sees gains.

Under the Job Retention Scheme, the government paid 80% of the salaries of those workers unable to work because of lockdown measures.

This enabled the economy to keep going unlike Japan which has seen a massive number of smaller businesses fail.

Mr Kipling please refer to the facts not your bias, after Brexit the actual figures show there was virtually no reduction in the number of foreign drivers working in the UK. With the onset of the Pandemic and the various lockdowns and the perceived threat of catching the disease and lack of work, many went home. The problem is that there is a shortage of drivers in Europe as well, not just the UK so there was plenty of work at home and therefor little incentive to return to the UK. So no Brexit has little or nothing to do with it.
