General (General discussion, talk about anything.)
I was listening to Boris on the BBC, and he came out with a good point, and that is that EU immigration caused the undercutting of wages of HGV drivers, which drove down the conditions of the industry, with less facilities, and less regard for the job, and now that wages are going up, that will improve things.
As he said we need British lorry drivers and to attract them into the job, they need to be paid a decent wage, and not undercut by some Romanian idiot, and then there is the question of 'enforcement' how many of them foreign johnny drivers, don't even have a LGV licence, they are using false documents, and if they get caught committing an offence, they just bugger off abroad, and get replacement false documents, they escape justice
All these are the sorts of the reasons why I voted to leave the EU.
