The consequences of Brexit

    On 23 of June 2016, UK held a referendum to vote if "Should UK remain a member of EU or leave the EU? 51.89% of voters voted to leave EU as the voters think that it was looked great when it come to things like economy, jobs, and prices. Therefore the name of Brexit is given, which is a combination of "Britain" & "Exit". UK becomes the first sovereign country to leave the EU after 47 years of having been a member state of the bloc. Under Prime Minister Boris Johnson leading, the UK left the EU on 31st January of 2020. The UK government has postponed the implementation of import controls for goods entering the UK from the EU until 2022 in order to reduce supply issues during the COVID-19 pandemic. During this period only British goods cannot enter to the EU.

    Christmas is coming but the UK suffered a shortage of heavy goods vehicles drivers to deliver food, fuel, and other items. Even though UK has introduced temporary visas for 5000 lorry drivers to work in the UK but only 20 of 300 applications have been approved. The part of the shortage reasons is COVID as city lockdown since from last year and many Europeans drivers went home and very few have returned. There is also not enough training for new drivers to pass the driving test in the short term.  There have also been tax changes making it more expensive for drivers in the UK. The cost of community goods will become higher.

       In my opinion, this is the dire consequences if most of the people are too selfish, they just want to enjoy their high-quality life instead of thinking about their country's economic crisis. They may suffer more and more problems if they keep thinking about themselves only.
