You'd have to say we had the dreadful leave /remain shock stories , banners , buses, media frenzy can we honestly say has any of that really come true , I don't mean the complications for goods moving just the predicated meltdown ,maybe its on the way ?

Re: Hundreds of civil servants at the DVLA have done no work on full pay

At this stage, it's largely irrelevant. The point is that the number of EU citizens has increased year on year since the vote and is greater im 2021 than it was pre-pandemic.

So this idea of Brexit causing a mass exodus and thus causing a shortage of lorry drivers is demonstrably incorrect.

Show me where I said Brexit caused a mass exodus?

Nothing is based on anything but hatred other than scum evil Tories , strangely labour voters wanted it as well

Nonsense, you just have a lifelong victim complex

Re: Hundreds of civil servants at the DVLA have done no work on full pay

Ironically unions like DVLA and London Trains are effecting those very lowly paid people on stagnant pay as they cant to work or a HGV licence you'd think after the awful effects of the pandemic on peoples l lives they just draw a breath be glad to be back at work getting services going clear the backlogs to make peoples lives better other than themselves who in the main are well paid compared to minimum wage folk , and then yes then go on strike

See, first it's 'we are all in this pandemic together', then it's 'careful, we are in a recession', then it's going to be 'if you don't want your job, someone else will have it'. There will always be a reason for you to tell workers to doth their cap and accept their lot.

Out of interest, what do you currently do for a living?

You said it had crippled the lorry industry and implied that someone cannot be concerned about said industry if they voted a certain way on membership of the EU - Perhaps you meant something else and have some astounding facts to back to up.

I'm pretty sure a key part of 'project fear' was that trade would be affected. The leave campaign insisted that we would be able to trade as freely as we did as a member state. You are rewriting history.

I didn't say Brexit crippled the lorry industry. If you vote against flood defences and then the place floods, the rain caused it, didn't it? The defenses might not have stopped the flooding but it sure as shit would have been good to have found out.

France

France has been facing a shortage of around 43,000 drivers since 2019, Transport Intelligence says.

Italy

There is an estimated shortfall of around 15,000 drivers in Italy, since 2019.

Spain

In Spain the estimate is 15,340, figures from 2020 show.

Note
If you have questions after consulting this guide about how to cite, please contact your advisor/professor or the writing and communication center.

Why citing is important
It's important to cite sources you used in your research for several reasons:

To show your reader you've done proper research by listing sources you used to get your information
To be a responsible scholar by giving credit to other researchers and acknowledging their ideas
To avoid plagiarism by quoting words and ideas used by other authors
To allow your reader to track down the sources you used by citing them accurately in your paper by way of footnotes, a bibliography or reference list
About citations
Citing a source means that you show, within the body of your text, that you took words, ideas, figures, images, etc. from another place.

Citations are a short way to uniquely identify a published work (e.g. book, article, chapter, web site). They are found in bibliographies and reference lists and are also collected in article and book databases.

Citations consist of standard elements, and contain all the information necessary to identify and track down publications, including:

author name(s)
titles of books, articles, and journals
date of publication
page numbers
volume and issue numbers (for articles)
Citations may look different, depending on what is being cited and which style was used to create them. Choose an appropriate style guide for your needs. Here is an example of an article citation using four different citation styles. Notice the common elements as mentioned above:

Author - R. Langer

Article Title - New Methods of Drug Delivery

Source Title - Science

Volume and issue - Vol 249, issue 4976

Publication Date - 1990

Page numbers - 1527-1533

American Chemical Society (ACS) style:

Langer, R. New Methods of Drug Delivery. Science 1990, 249, 1527-1533.

IEEE Style:

R. Langer, "New Methods of Drug Delivery," Science, vol. 249, pp. 1527-1533, SEP 28, 1990.

American Psychological Association (APA) style:

Langer, R. (1990). New methods of drug delivery. Science, 249(4976), 1527-1533.

Modern Language Association (MLA) style:

Langer, R. "New Methods of Drug Delivery." Science 249.4976 (1990): 1527-33.

What to cite
You must cite:

Facts, figures, ideas, or other information that is not common knowledge
Ideas, words, theories, or exact language that another person used in other publications
Publications that must be cited include: books, book chapters, articles, web pages, theses, etc.

Another person's exact words should be quoted and cited to show proper credit

When in doubt, be safe and cite your source!

Avoiding plagiarism
Plagiarism occurs when you borrow another's words (or ideas) and do not acknowledge that you have done so. In this culture, we consider our words and ideas intellectual property; like a car or any other possession, we believe our words belong to us and cannot be used without our permission.

Plagiarism is a very serious offense. If it is found that you have plagiarized -- deliberately or inadvertently -- you may face serious consequences. In some instances, plagiarism has meant that students have had to leave the institutions where they were studying.

The best way to avoid plagiarism is to cite your sources - both within the body of your paper and in a bibliography of sources you used at the end of your paper.

My point is that it is good etiquette to clarify when content posted is not one's own.
