Chortle.

yeah, looks like the DM is in on the Remainer conspiracy too, that left wing rag.

How many newspapers are reporting on the empty shelves in France? You'd think the DM would be all over that if it were true, or even if it weren't.

Prove to me that chemical companies are refusing to sell us what we need. Show me this is a supply problem.

It's all over social media...

Seriously, this is just something heard, not proven. But, it makes sense that if you're selling chemicals you don't want the extra hassle of sending them through customs barriers, and when you anticipate those barriers coming up, you're going to start looking for other customers.

I would imagine these companies are under contract, and I would also imagine they would like to keep their customers because it's long term repeat custom. I don't even know what chemicals we need, where they can be sourced, if we can source them ourselves. Do you know?

Like chlorine I guess. Doesn't Germany have a big chemical industry? I'm pretty sure they aren't being made here, or someone would have thought to fucking prioritise not having raw sewage in our rivers over something a bit less critical.

I was basing it off the million letters the government have sent out asking HGV drivers to consider returning to the sector.

There wasn't 1m drivers who all quit, 'cause there were never more than about 300k active drivers in the whole country. It's mostly people who are qualified HGV drivers but didn't take it up. And I doubt it's really that high a number as a million. And most of those people never took it up because it's a shit job with shit hours with shit social life, and you might be replaced by a self-driving lorry in ten years anyways. £30k a year doesn't make that all worthwhile to most people, especially if you've left the UK and to come back you have to jump through all sorts of hoops or face Cruela Patel's firing squad.
