Got to remember: We got to survive them making mistakes. There will be an unlimited supply of idiots as long as they feel like they're winning, but they won't feel like that forever, especially if they can't point to anyone sabotaging them, just to people pointing out their mistakes.

Find people who care - or people who need help - and take care of each other. Without anyone to help you, this one will be rough.

The spaceflights will go to Ascension Island along with the deportation flights and also occasionally get mixed up on purpose.

Ascension already has a bunch of stuff NASA abandoned there, including a crumbling model of a space shuttle from the 1970s. And according to some people there is still a prototype Moon rover in a shed somewhere on the island.

I wonder if the ESA earth station is still there or if us leaving the EU has also hosed that up.

The thing about Starmer is he's the right sort, y'know. He's in the right sort of club and wears the right sort of suit and you just know you can count on him to do the right wing. I mean thing. I meant to say thing.

Commons select committee 2016 on likely shortage of HGV drivers:

https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201617/cmselect/cmtrans/68/6805.htm

quote:

2A Driver shortage?
15.Concern about a shortage of drivers is not new.31 In a joint statement ahead of a meeting with HM Treasury in February 2015, the Freight Transport Association (FTA) and the Road Haulage Association (RHA) estimated that the haulage industry was short of about 45,000 drivers and that a further 40,000 drivers would leave the industry by 2017.32

16.In their evidence to our inquiry the FTA said that the sector was short of 43,000–45,000 drivers33 but the RHA suggested it was closer to 60,000.34 Asked to explain the difference, Jack Semple, of the RHA, told us it drew a distinction between drivers holding only an LGV licence and those holding a licence and DQC.35 The RHA added that the ONS classification of drivers under-reported driver numbers, as someone reporting their occupation as delivery driver might not be counted towards the total of LGV drivers.36

17.The Government agrees with the industry estimate of a shortage of about 45,000 drivers.37 It told us that the problem was long-standing and had been evident a decade ago.38

+ many more words & graphs

41.The driver shortage has resulted in a dependence on agency and particularly foreign drivers that goes beyond what is needed to cope with seasonal variations and is now necessary to sustain normal operation. The dependence on agency staff means that operators in the sector are probably not investing enough in their staff. We think this creates two risks that need to be managed. First, if the UK becomes relatively less attractive as a place for foreign drivers to work, as it may do as the consequences of Brexit play out, the shortage could become much more acute, possibly quite rapidly. Second, the longer-term sustainability of the UK’s road haulage sector could be undermined if there is not a steady stream of people through the sector gaining the skills and experience that they need to become transport managers and operators.


So the govt knew this was likely back then as well as the pandemic exercise that I have forgotten the name of that showed UK woefully underprepared for such a situation.
