One thing I think is wrong about the outcry re: shortages is the assertion that to replace (for example) #EU lorry drivers, we just need to “train more of our own”. To me this epitomises how #Brexit, although many things, is about entrenching class, race and gender imbalances. 2/3 of the two lowest social classes voted for #Brexit. But they only accounted for 40% of the vote suggesting elite and middle class voters were far more critical in ensuring Britain left the EU. Now that we have shortages of low skill and low income workers, where do we turn?
