UK petrol driver shortage: Desperate motorists fill jerry cans with fuel

Long queues of motorists waiting to fill up their tanks are continuing for a second day - as the government is expected to clear the way for a visa change allowing thousands of foreign lorry drivers to work in the UK.

The temporary measures would be aimed at HGV truckers from abroad plugging the gaps that have been blamed for causing the queues at petrol pumps and shortages in some food items.

......

Ministers met yesterday for urgent talks on how to address what has been estimated as a shortage of more than 100,000 drivers.

Just the begining of problems after Brexit. Got lorries, but no drivers. Angmos short sightedness. 
Next, not enough people to pick cherries.
Their farms depend a lot from migrants.
Now, best import Hkies to do the job.
