Actually some did, but they are only fighting on the same amount of drivers, not creating more. UK's driving schools and examiners have not the possibility to form 100.000 lorry drivers in two years, figures in few weeks. Most of the job offers for truck drivers also specify "two years of experience". Also increased costs in every phase of the production line without increased productivity are only going to increase prices, when most of those sectors are open to international competition, and are already experiencing increased costs due to the increased red tape.

@djsmithe The argument is that you can't improvise yourself a truck driver. You need a special patent to drive a truck. Before earning the patent you need to be instructed. It needs a truck driver to instruct a truck driver so, to instruct more truck drivers you have to actually REDUCE the number of drivers actually driving trucks to supply business, and of what kind of workers there is shortage of? As said, UK's driving schools and examiners have not the possibility to form 100.000 lorry drivers in two years, figures in few weeks. Most of the job offers for truck drivers also specify "two years of experience" because inexperienced truck drivers are not productive enough and more likely to have incidents. Successfull economies had not severed themself from their main market, nor banned necessary workers from the country out of spite.

@FalkeEins Yeah, the EU "refused", and rightly so. All the other members of the EU and Single Market had long understood the pretty simple concept that you can't expect the others to freely accept your goods, services and capitals if you refuse their people. They don't stink more than you. Only the UK had problems accepting that. So the rest of EU refused to bow to UK's umpteenth whims. The result of rising wages without raising productivity is inflation.

@FalkeEins The same fact that you count them and complain to have "more than any other" shows that you consider them a burden. Why should someone that you consider a burden buy your goods and services?

@FalkeEins 1. It's only litle more than double that of France, whose population density is particularly low. 2. Netherlands and Belgium have far higher population densities than UK. Even Italy if you count that much of its territory is muntainous, but they don't whine.

@FalkeEins Nothing obviously. Nothing you can have gives the right to be treated differently than the others, and do you really think someone in the EU is impressed by an economy or an army?

@FalkeEins What's laughable is to request a special treatment over the pretense to have a "special army" somewere. None is going to miss it, sorry. UK can take its laughable pretenses of superiority for itself. Actually to request special treatments is a clear sign of unreliability. Who is going to trust the army of someone that wanted to be treated differently from the others to do something for the others?

@FalkeEins Who complains that the EU failed to recognise that, being so exceptional, they had to be treated differently from any other is whining.
