Mc loughlin says he defends the new EU ruling because drivers need to know how to drive their vehicles correctly,bloody cheek ,typical idiot MP,plus if there is a shortage of hgv drivers why don’t they let a few thousand more Europeans in to take our jobs,they and employers have not done a bad job so far
samsgrandad:
how many times do I have to say this if there is such a big shortage of hgv driver’s then why have we not all had a massive pay rise, pay decent wages and watch them flock to the industry until then we shall have to keep reading this drivell
probably cos the employers are hiring European drivers on the minimum wage

our only hope the way i see it is for ukip to win enough seats to cause a mayor problem for government. they are the only party that will close the door or i should say the only chance there is to do something about it, or sadly this time in 5 years you will be lucky to find anyone left other than the unemployed who can speak English
but will they close the border,we all know political parties talk the talk before a general election but never deliver,UKIP will no doubt be the same,

we will never know unless ukip are given that chance if they dont get the chance then we all know what is coming next, more of the same, you will be collecting your food bank supply’s being delivered by polish guys
after all they are proving to be the new back bone of the haulage industy now just like the nhs is full of people who can hardly speak english but without them the nhs would be dead in the water, i just wonder what other industry will end up being taken over ?
still if it happens we can all say we knew it was going to happen and not complain about it as we have our chance
Course theirs a driver shortage, I’ve noticed that wages are slowly creeping up.we carnt be having that.
Solution, give loads of bussiness to the training companies to train more drivers.
Outcome, wages held down and a nice cushy number for retiring politicians on the board of said companies at a couple of hundred grand for half day a week work.
Damm this cynicism is an awful disiese.
i know one thing i am buying up shares in the canned food industry, as i plan on making a killing in about 5 years time, i figure the price of canned food will go up no end as the food banks business will grow
its called knowing the market and as i have a bit of insider info its a sure thing, as more and more people come over here, to do the work for half the money then the increase of unemployed people who end up doing 1 or 2 days work just to survive will increase, they will not have enough money to live on and get no help in benefits with all the cuts, so there going to be headed for food banks hence the big pay day for those smart enough to invest
of course if ukip get in that could spoil things for my pay day but i guess i could live with the loss

Because the rates are the same regardless of how many drivers the industry has.

This retirement lark is bloody hard work, Mrs is working so I’m doing house type stuff and trying to get the swamp (garden allegedly 
) into some kind of productive state.
