Drivers in the U.K. faced long queues to fill their vehicles up with gas as a shortage of truck drivers disrupted the supply across the country. Haulage companies say they’re struggling to recruit enough truck drivers due to Brexit and a suspension in training and testing during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Electric scooter hype
Somebody should remind Britain that THE USA HAS MORE NAT GAS THAN WE KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH. We can EASILY meet their Nat gas needs this Winter.We have some of the deepest pockets of Nat gas IN THE WORLD!! HEY BRITAIN, ARE YOU LISTENING???
I love proving Brexiteers wrong
Brexit was good. The English people have a right and a responsibility to govern themselves. The British people are not obligated to pay for other poorly governed European countries.
Now uk is putting tax on GAS not petrol GAS! this is to force people to use more expensive electric to heat their homes. Those who can only just afford bills are forced into fuel poverty.
the consequences of leaving EU.
Next Christmas will get worse when UK begins to pay tariffs on EU goods.
They should have stayed in EU.
Electric vehicles ; coming thru !
"I don't fill up, usually i leave it" 😕
Oh.. Its going to be a very very tough year on shortages. But they only want to let you know, when they arrive.
Food is next UK. Because the push will be on high ticket movement, rather than basics. This is the greed reality, shaping the world during a Grand Solar Minimum. Nature, both solar and human, are against you. One you can control, you can plan for, the other you can only see coming and prepare. Best of luck world, stop following the narratives.
Time for the UK to switch to electric cars
Rope in all the pro Brexits, surely there are some who can drive a truck.
A nation that lives on a tiny island barely the size of other nations Provinces should be able to walk to work. Just sayin.
American’s pay attention. This is what it will soon look like in America if drivers are forced to get vaccinated! 90% at my company have already said they would quit! Just like the nurse shortage caused by Biden’s push..
Just what i expect of corporation media. No information and fabricating anxiety.
It’s going to get much worse before it gets any better
They were doing just fine, until the Media printed that the UK was going run out of gas! They caused this!
Time to ride your bicycle !😉
How Abt u pay drivers what their worth and stop making getting yr licence a scam
So this is what the English wanted with Brexit
100,000 less hgv drivers……..320 of which were licensed to deliver fuel. Sensationalising media, again!
A global crisis is taking place in terms of energy, the European Union, London, China, around the world, while president of Mexico refused to cut production when “OPEP†ordered it.
The European Union's energy secretary is suggesting doing ot Cutting crude oil gradually, It was a mistake to have cut production without a study carried out previously
This crisis is affecting the supply of raw materials, food, etc. The population is scared.
Now London, China, Russia, Singapore, South Korea are asking Mexico for economic larks and partnership.
What is happening in Spain was what was expected in Mexico, By selling all electricity consections to private companies, they put the price,
In this case, the government cannot suggest a cost to these same companies.
The cost of electricity for Spaniards and Europeans is double what it currently costs us in Mexico, and continues to rise in the next days more and more.
For those who were against it, once again the intelligence of a man who takes the country to another dimension is demonstrated.
With a lot of pride
Viva our president. Andrés Manuel López Obrador ðŸ‘ÂÂðŸÂ½ðŸ‘ÂÂðŸÂ½ðŸ‘ÂÂðŸÂ½ðŸ‘ÂÂðŸÂ½
Where is your king 🤴? Lol
Brits are discovering they are no longer the British Empire and think their country can go it alone. That's what happens when you allow such a complex question as Brexit to be voted on by the general public who don't completely understand the the ramifications of leaving the EU in the first place.
Here in Canada, truck drivers earn $18 to $20 per hour, and they have to invest $12,000 into training over a 4 month period to get their AZ licence. meanwhile, Amazon is paying the warehouse workers $24/hr to load/unload those trucks, and the training is free. A lot of AZ drivers have stopped driving to work in the warehouses instead.

Greetings from Germany! 😉
There are no empty gas stations anywhere else in Europe, no empty shelves in supermarkets, no crops rotting in the fields. Funny that if it was all to blame on Covid, isn't it? The only difference between the other European countries and the UK is Brexit – and of course a very corrupt government that is more bothered with filling up its own pockets and those of its buddies than concerned about life of ordinary Brits. How could they possibly waste 37 billion on a track and trace app that doesn't even work when Germany had one working already and it had only cost 25 million?
THE BREXIT LIES ARE SLOWLY BUT SURELY CATCHING UP WITH THESE TORY CLOWNS AND BOJO THE PATHOLOGICAL LIAR!!!
No petrol make English go mad
Propaganda
Workers in all sectors are treated like trash.
BRexit means BPexit
I call BS to this, sound like the oil companies are causing this problem to import drivers where they can keep there drivers pay down.
EV
Oh Britain… 😅🤦ðŸÂ»
Gonna get worse.
what's next is global reset agenda 😂 get ready lads
Use Johnny walker???⛽
Awwww, are we feeling the economic effects because of stupid mandates? The UK govt better bail these people out.
Well the majority asked for it. You wanted brexit. Enjoy ðŸ˜ÂÂ
Truck drivers have been planning strikes and the like for months it is no secret, the industry as a whole is a shambles.
How to apply dubai to uk trucks drivers?
But how will Biden be blamed for this? I'm sure they'll blame him
British have vacation
Long live BREXIT consecuences…. previsible consecuences…
Will the specialist chemical hgv drivers explain why they
Decided to have a sept holiday at the same time lol
What happened to all the electric cars that I used to see in England in the 1980s ðŸ¤â€Â
Ha ha Brexiters, as you sow, so shall you reap.
