"There wasn't a fuel shortage" "Now I can't even get the fuel I normally need, its all gone"

@jhfdhgvnbjm75 lol no, Europe doesn't have a shortage and yes it is Brexit related. The irony being the solution the Tories posed was to relax rules on EU HGV drivers to encourage them to fill the shortage...

@yodings There was a fuel shortage. Due to a lack of HGV drivers. Due to Brexit.

@bruhbruh2290 I've already explained that Brexit has contributed greatly to the increased effect felt by Britain compared to the rest of the world and given figures to show this. I'm not interested in circular debate and excuses for why Brexit isn't to blame for anything ever, even though it fundamentally changed our relationship with trading partners and our economic and diplomatic strength globally.

@jhfdhgvnbjm75 lol Europe lost only 20,000 HGV drivers and it was due to Brexit as they were predominantly British drivers. Why do you think the Tories are lowering immigration standards to allow EU HGV drivers to come back to the UK if there aren't sufficient HGV drivers in the EU? (not that there isn't a shortage, but as we are in a far worse position as this story and many other's clearly show) Why do you think the EU has had a 400% price increase in energy but the UK has had a 560% increase? because of the loss of HGV drivers and Brexit.

@jhfdhgvnbjm75 47% of our energy comes from Russia, Norway and Belgium and is transported. Gas is used to generate electricity which is why it's easier to call them energy as a whole. Estimates are propaganda, try finding accurate figures. The figures I found said no more than 100,000 in the whole of the EU so your numbers are made up. Own up to the part Brexit has played in food shortages, medical shortages, NHS staff shortages, HGV driver shortages and fuel and energy price increase and shortages.

@Tyrone Ngubu Imagine being so thick you haven't noticed the catalogue of problems and debt it's left us with...

@Tyrone Ngubu We have two trillion national debt, that is a debt your great-grandchildren will be paying off, assuming you're not as sterile as your mind...

@Tyrone Ngubu lol so you're self-confessed ignorant who is unaware what he pays for?

@jhfdhgvnbjm75 My comment is fact, only 40% of our natural gas come from the mere 20 billion barrels of oil and natural gas left in the North Sea (less than 5 years worth). Much of the gas coming from Europe comes in tankers as well as pipelines. Brexit has cost us trillions in losses and more than our 47 years of membership fees to the EU. It has also cost us to lose our triple a-credit rating twice and more than £490 billion in foreign investment and sterling. We have over 100,000 staff shortages in the NHS and a lack of HGV drivers causing food, energy and fuel price rises and shortages. We have a national debt of over £2 trillion and a debt to GDP ratio of over 100%. We are the world's largest enabler of corporate tax evasion through the crown and overseas territories and that was the predominant reason for Brexit...

@Tyrone Ngubu You pay inflation on everything you buy based on our fiscal situation, national debt and our debt to GDP ratio. Stop being thick...

@Tyrone Ngubu Everyone in Britain is subject to inflation and various forms of taxation. Seriously just stop...

@Tyrone Ngubu I'm losing points off my IQ just reading your responses. I hope your day is as nice as you are.

@bruhbruh2290 Surprising then that the Tories are offering to reduce post-Brexit immigration rules to attract the non-existent EU HGV drivers to make up for the shortfall in Britain? Shades of grey, HGV drivers may well be in short supply, but the problem in the UK is greatly increased by Brexit regulations and extra red tape for HGV drivers, who don't want all the extra hassle for min wage. PS I've already discussed this several times and I'm bored of Brexiteers who can't find any faults with Brexit, even when they are in all the newspapers. Food shortages, basic material shortages, petrol shortages, increase in Gas/Energy prices of 560% compared to an average of 400% in the EU.
