Barely half way through the first year of Brexit and already things are breaking down and the cracks are starting to show. As a result of many European workers going home last year due to Covid lockdowns and being unwilling or unable to return this year when demand is accelerating, many industries are finding real problems replacing the lost labour force.
My local council has just announced that due to a shortage of drivers they aren't going to be emptying green bins for the next 10 weeks. This may seem like a minor inconvenience, but it appears to be one small symptom of a much bigger problem which is getting noticeably worse.
It will be a big problem for an incompetent and complacent PM and government who unbelievably forced thorough a hard Brexit in the face of a pandemic raging across the world. They need to remember that when the rubbish piled up and bodies went unburied, it finished off The Labour government in the '79 Winter Of Discontent. Is history about to repeat itself?
