Now we are short on truck drivers. They knew Brexit was coming and now all the Eastern block have gone back home, they are short of drivers. Not to get into a debate about Brexit, but the lack of workers in haulage, care home, NHS etc show how we have deskilled the British workers by bringing in cheap labour. I've heard the haulage representatives talking on the radio, many excuses coming out, one being that it is our fault, the consumer, by wanting goods on demand, 7 days a week. I never asked for Sunday opening, or retail shops to never stock the goods I want so I am forced to shop online and get it devlivered. They've benefited from cheap labour,now they might have to pay a bit more. The consumer will have to pay more, can't dent into their profits. (My neighbour is a builder and he is now getting enough work again.)

Absolutely. John Lewis recently gave all of their lorry drivers a pay rise and a £1000 bonus - and offered a £1000 signing fee for any new drivers.

Shortage of workforce is always good for the workers.

This was always known it would happen, it's why the working class voted for it. They knew that once the cheap labour that big business had become addicted to had gone, wages would have to go up to entice people to work in certain industries.

This will work out much better in the long run. Sadly some businesses haven't yet learned that but they soon will.

It might mean there is a job available for some,too.

ISIS back at it.

Be interesting to see what the Taliban make of that.

I know they buddied up with Bin Laden but that was a different time, its not going to do good for the Taliban's new politically correct PR moves they've been trying to make if they're letting ISIS run riot.

This is either p*ssing on their shoes or they are glad of it behind closed doors, not sure which.

The taliban have been planting these IEDs for the last two decades. So it's either them or some rogue element within their organisation.

This may be an indicator that there's a civil war to come between the extreme radicals and moderate radicals in Afghanistan.

They’ve certainly got enough weapons lying around to wipe each other out……hopefully!

Dutch cities want to ban property investors in all neighborhoods

The large municipalities in the Netherlands plan to make wide use of a legislative amendment that will allow them to designate neighborhoods where investors won't be allowed to buy cheap and medium-priced homes and rent them out, NOS found after surveying the municipalities.

This legislative amendment is expected to take effect on January 1. The intention is to give people looking for a home a better chance of finding one on the tight Dutch housing market. Last year, a third of all homes sold in the four large cities were bought by investors.

Amsterdam told NOS that if it can, it will use this purchase protection for the entire municipality. Utrecht said the same. "Especially because we want to prevent a waterbed effect," a spokesperson said, referring to investors targeting more expensive homes if they can no longer buy those in the lower segments.

Tilburg is considering implementing the purchase protection in the entire city, The Hague won't rule out that possibility. Groningen is also considering it, but is cautious. "We are going to see whether we can use the scheme as widely as possible, but we must be able to substantiate that," a spokesperson for the municipality of Groningen said to NOS.

The amendment states that municipalities must "substantiate whether and in which neighborhoods imbalanced and unjust effects occur due to the scarcity of cheap and medium-priced owner-occupied homes". The municipalities must also show that the purchase protection is "necessary and effective" in the chosen neighborhoods. The amendment does not set a price limit for cheap and medium-priced homes, as a cheap home in Amsterdam can easily cost as much as an expensive one in Groningen, for example. So municipalities will have to set - and explain - the price limits themselves.

They are asking people on the news if it's OK for transgender men to compete with women after an MMA fighter beat up on a woman. The woman who 'lost' thinks it's OK and some women they are asking on the streets think it's OK. I GIVE UP.

People just publicly comply with an opinion they think is expected by the politically correct woke Nazis.

If they go against it the Gestapo can ruin their lives.

I'm reminded of Fallon Fox, that man fractured the skull of a woman in an MMA match. That alone is reason why they should not be allowing this sort of thing. It's dangerous.

Apparently there are about 400 gender types according to the oddballs who put these things together.

There was a case in the news recently where a primary school in Swindon was told by an 'inspector' appointed by the local authority that their lavatories were not inclusive enough. In short there were boys toilets and girls toilets. That arrangement does not apparently cater for children who may not identify as either of those.

So the Headmistress decided that it was necessary to act upon the report from this inspector, and made the decision to make all toilets available to everyone. I should add that the urinals were left operational, meaning that should an 8 year old girl visit the convenience she might expect to see boys aged 11 with their penises out.

Of course the parents of the children attending the school made huge protestations to the school about this stupid decision, and the Head reversed it.

Apparently 4 year-olds in Scotland can choose their gender and pronoun without parental consent. The world has gone truly mad.
