If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.

Oh no, there will never be an EU army Pete….says all Remainers…yet now it’s inevitable……
Afghanistan has shown every other nation's military to be pointless, including ours, as without America leading the way we do naff all on our own. You've just chosen to be America's poodle.
Couldn't give a crap about an EU army, all I care about as a remainer is the incompetent government sorting out issues more pertinent to the UK.
In your opinion how would an EU army affect the average UK citizen, if we were still in the EU?

It would be the most dangerous set up as it old be under the control of the E U…..
Would they attack UK citizens, would they have started a war that would directly affect UK citizens. How would an EU army directly affect the average UK citizen/resident.
I assume that this was one of your reasons for leaving so what is the logic behind the reasoning. We are not part of Schengen, we are not part of the Eurozone, even when in the EU we did not follow everything they did so why do you think this was a big enough reason to include in the list of reasons to leave, if that is the case, of course.
It's not that simple, some jobs are a good wage but still have vacancies.
Out of that figure of 240k, a large percent a retired drivers who are still eligible to work but realistically won't come back.
Then you have drivers who have the licence but no intention of using it, ex forces, people who have licence but not confident, people who just have a really good job in different career etc.
Fact is we don't have enough drivers to cover our jobs
This might be interesting, as the "great resignation" is pretty significant in the US as well. Brexit isn't the only game in town to explain it, but it's certainly contributing to the situation.

FFS I've just had a Brexit-loving ex-trucker "friend" explain to me the exact reasons for the driver shortage - foreign drivers going home as they can't be arsed with visa hassles and costs since we left the EU - while telling me it's nothing to do with Brexit.

At least they are not trying blame pandemic.
I do believe we are heading for another winter of discontent but like no other, that Johnson and his rabble of chinless chums for reasons can't see coming. COVID and Flu will likely bring the NHS to it's knees and another Christmas will likely be cancelled as the supply chain will likely come screeching to a halt. This is a Government that likes to repeatedly shoot itself in the foot with ideologies, pat itself on the back over it and then cry when Starmer points out how stupid they are. Whilst Peston and the rest of the Lobby Journalists fawn over Johnson.
Good read that, getting to that stage myself, fed up with the job, don't have any debt, don't really spend a lot of money, and some voluntary redundancy on the horizon.This might be interesting, as the "great resignation" is pretty significant in the US as well.

No way am I staying if the situation didn't suit me.
Will just take my small works pension and top it up with a part time job.
Done 40 odd years work up to now and on balance have given to much time to my work and not enough to myself.
