The British government announced the deployment of the army tomorrow, Saturday, to help solve the fuel crisis in the country, according to the Al-Arabiya channel, in urgent news a while ago.
Nearly ten months after Britain's exit from the European Union (Brexit), the United Kingdom (UK) is facing a severe fuel crisis, due to lack of drivers and foreign workers transporting fuel supplies, as well as food from place to place, threatening the "Christmas" celebrations.
The American news network, "CNN", highlighted the worsening fuel crisis in the UK, and said that high energy bills, high prices, and an acute shortage of workers are factors that impede the supply of food and fuel and threaten to impede Britain's recovery from the Corona pandemic.
The crises afflicting the UK economy have sparked talk in newspapers and among politicians of the looming “Winter of Discontent,” referring to the strike waves in 1978-1979 that brought the British economy to its knees.
There is even talk of stagflation, which is a terrifying combination of stagnant growth and high inflation, the network said.
“CNN” explained that Britain’s withdrawal from the EU led to introduce harsh policies of immigration and pushed Britain out of the European markets of energy and commodities.
It becomes more difficult to British companies to recruit European employees, as trading with Europe costs more despite Europe being the major trade partner with the UK.
The US network considered that the shortage of labor in Britain is not an enviable result of the Brexit but it is an outcome of policies and ideologies of UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson to walk out of the EU amid difficult negotiations with the European Commission.
Many treaties in vital fields including energy between Britain and the EU were frozen that followed by introducing harsher immigration policies to reduce the number of non-trained workers to the UK.
Meanwhile, the British government said that it seeks to terminate dependence on that sort of labor.
