re: #58 Nojay UK

IIRC the current working visa application process for non-UK nationals costs several hundred quid for the applicant plus paperwork costs, there are weeks of delay while it is processed and a possible refusal of the visa application at the end of the day if they get something wrong. There haven’t been any details given by the Government whether the desperately needed HGV visas will be free of charge, expedited etc.

Do you really believe they actually think these “solutions” through before tossing them out to show that they are “doing something”?

Meanwhile, they are trying to recruit Germans:

Government asks German residents to drive lorries even if they never have before

The UK govt has written to thousands of Germans living in Britain to ask them to “consider returning” to driving trucks. Most of them never had, but were in some database of potential truckers because old German driving licenses could be used for vans.
