HGV Drivers from EU….COMING??

by admin on 5 October, 2021

We are told today that 127 potential HGV drivers have applied to come and work in the UK from Europe in response to a Government appeal.
Pause for thought here. Not only is that a derisory number ( 5000 was the target remember) but who are these 127? We have been told that the shortage of HGV drivers is a Europe wide problem, so why would any want to come here if work is available “at home”? Could it just be that these are not of a suitable standard to be able to get a job in their own country and consequently seek employment anywhere…even in the UK?
I’m not at all sure I want them on our roads, if that is the case.
