“Chaos” is one lorry driver’s view of Brexit. This video from The Guardian follows said driver from a distribution centre to outer London to Dover. “I don’t think anyone realises how intertwined our economy is,” the driver says. He believes the UK is not self-sufficient, and speculates that some 80% of refrigerated trucks leave the UK empty and return full. While Brexiteer politician Jacob Rees-Mogg may claim customs procedures are of no concern, the driver  claims the country wouldn’t even be able to “tread water”, let alone prosper, if they were brought back.
