No drivers, no electricians... England's economy is paralyzed by a shortage of workers

The reason is the very hasty Brexit, because of which the country has lost hundreds of thousands of workers and specialists from the EU countries.

It is reported that with the departure of such hated migrants from Poland, the Baltic States, Romania, Bulgaria and other countries, at least 100 thousand drivers of heavy trucks and trucks were missing in the Kingdom. And just imagine! - More than 1.5 million able-bodied foreigners left Foggy Albion. It was they who supplied supermarkets with food and everything necessary for the life of the native English around the clock. Today, the logistics are disrupted and destroyed - the trucks are standing, but there are no drivers. And there is nowhere to take them, since the English aborigines themselves have long forgotten how to plow for an average salary by their standards, preferring to sit in cozy offices with coffee breaks, 7-hour working days and guaranteed weekends, holidays, free medicine and a bunch of social benefits and payments.

It also turned out that the subjects of Queen Elizabeth, like the Soviet people, taught the lessons of deficits, rushed to buy food and goods for future use. What if there will be empty shelves in stores by Christmas? To buy, then, it is necessary now. And this circumstance even more exposed the store shelves.

But trouble does not come alone. Following beef for steaks, automobile fuel also became scarce. In one hand (sorry - the tank) they pour only 30 pounds of gasoline or diesel fuel, or about 20 liters, for which you also need to stand in line. And if at this time you also read the telegram channels, then you will go completely crazy - they urge you to urgently buy medicines in pharmacies. Which by the New Year may already be gone...

Consumer problems are not so bad. Much worse for English farmers. After all, there is no one to harvest! Lithuanians, Romanians and Poles are sitting at home, at home. Therefore, the seasonal labor force has to be attracted by superhigh wages of £ 30 an hour. Which is 4-5 times more than in the "old" good times. Accordingly, the final prices for agricultural products in England are growing before our eyes. Whether they will compete with imported food is a rhetorical question. Hence, it is easy to assume that the rise in prices will be followed by a massive bankruptcy of agricultural producers.

True, there are also beneficiaries against the backdrop of post-brexit problems. And these are the few local residents who still retain the ability to do manual labor.

"Builders are working to wear and tear, because a lot of people, being at home, have begun work on the repair and improvement of their homes, and there it is impossible to carry out work requiring appropriate certificates, such as plumbing and electrical. I've heard that some builders and repairmen have taken orders for a year in advance. In general, unskilled, unskilled, poorly paid work is a dime a dozen. But the British do not want this kind of work, they would like to go to offices", - writes English blogger Notabler.

But the cries of business "give relief for work visas" are responded to by the Brexiters - and why were we fighting so hard? Today we will let the drivers in, and tomorrow the waitresses and nurses will want to, and everything will return to the same thing that they were so fiercely kicked out of - the dominance of foreigners, to the Lithuanian and Polish ghettos, etc.

This is just one post-Brezite belch, there are others that need to be written about separately. There is also a gas problem. Well, she's a problem for the whole planet these days. But here it happened very abruptly. At first, the British were taught - change suppliers more often, so you get the best price for gas and electricity. People found new, innovative and cheap businesses. And now, in a couple of weeks, half of them have gone bankrupt, and all their clients will be forcibly assigned to the most powerful "old and reliable" suppliers, and they will no longer be allowed to bargain about the price.

The price of gas may rise fivefold, electricity will pick up, although wind turbines and solar panels will slightly smooth the situation. conservative estimates.

The rise in the price of gasoline and energy resources, of course, will lead to a rise in the price of everything in general.

The question is, how will the government get out of this storm? Many believe that Prime Minister Johnson is far from Churchill, no matter how he puffs up and shakes up his office. The Laborites have not yet had any brilliant ideas either.

And what's funny is that ALL of Britain's current problems were easily miscalculated even BEFORE Brexit. A country that prides itself on its university brains and the best intelligence in the world is voluntarily sinking into a deep socio-economic crisis.
