There is quite a long list of jobs that are exempt from the Skilled Worker visa scheme, including vets etc

You would think HGV drivers would have been on the list from the start. Why are vets on the list but not HGV drivers?

I just hope the panic buyers haven't caused to much (Unnecessary) disruption to the supply, BP closed a few stations and all hell breaks loose. Remember the fuel blockades in the year 2000?

 

Don't put me through that again I beg of you. I did get really bored at work fitting new fuel tanks that had been drilled. Honestly don't do it there's plenty of stocks.

Not just the UK with a supply-chain problem, then. And where are these truckers coming from?

Were they 'ours' though - or as claimed elsewhere on this forum, all Eastern Europeans who have returned to Europe?
