LONDON: More than two thousand British gas stations were still dry on Thursday (Sep 30) due to a shortage of truck drivers which was starting to disrupt deliveries to pharmacies, while farmers warned a lack of butchers could lead to a massive cull of pigs.
......
Besides fuel and medicine, the farming industry warned that hundreds of thousands of pigs may have to be culled within weeks unless the government issues visas to allow more butchers into the country.
......
The gas station crisis has provoked scorn in some European capitals, with senior politicians suggesting Britain's trucker shortage was a clear consequence of its 2016 referendum decision to leave the EU.
British ministers have denied this, though tens of thousands of EU truckers left during the Brexit maelstrom.

Brexit🙄
They did not want the migrants.
Now they realise how much they depend on them.
Just like in Singapore, without FW, we are doomed.

UK employed a lot of truck drivers from other parts of Europe. After BREXIT, these drivers had to get out of UK.
Also, before BREXIT, truck drivers from Mainland Europe can just drive in and out of UK through the tunnel, freely.
And the clowns of Downing Street are not prepared at all!

UK is just on a downward spiral slowly but surely. They voted for Brexit and that's what they get. Eventually Scotland will want to leave this mess, then Northern Ireland.
