whereas our "Unions are deadly socialist parasites" approach has seen us drive wages down to the point where we relied heavily upon Eastern European drivers.
…which is something we choose to do, silver lining (hopefully) is that it force the English government to raise wages and standard to encourages people to join profession they don’t normally want to do.

It's not that we just told them to leave, we also made the customs and border process so long that EU based shipping companies have stopped sending their drivers over because it takes days just to get out the country.

I thought it was interesting that in countries such as the Netherlands where drivers have a Union the wages have stayed high enough to attract a steady influx of new drivers, whereas our "Unions are deadly socialist parasites" approach has seen us drive wages down to the point where we relied heavily upon Eastern European drivers, with very few younger GB citizens entering the trade - and then told all the Eastern European drivers to fuck off.
