Taking a van to the EU as a @scouts volunteer- a thread. Buckle up!
In my volunteer role in Scouting I use my D1E to support teams of younger leaders who don’t have D1 on their license as that was removed on 1st Jan 1997.
I was asked to drive a 3.5tonne van to Switzerland /1
The advice from @scouts HQ mirrored the advice from the Government & there were lots of warnings about vans being impounded for not having the proper documentation /2
Bit of a thread... Of course there's a correlation between cuts to police funding & rise in knife & violent crime but it's more than that....
Police chief says rise in knife crime in England is 'national emergency' theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/m…2/ As a Governor I've sat on a lot of disciplinary panels set up to try & prevent children getting involved in gang culture. Mostly parents/carers are horrified at what their child is doing but often helpless to stop it. Many of the children think they are untouchable.
