It's doubtful that they would have the certifications and training to squirt 100,000 litres of unleaded in to your local Asda.

That's why they had to be trained by the industry.

Johnson's figure of 127 hasn't included the 100 army drivers drafted in to help the logistics crisis, I wonder if the beeb will mention that

All vehemently denied by the BBC of course.I dearly wish I can find the former on the Twittosphere.
Also popping up are rumours that "that" row between Johnson and Antoinette was sparked by her accusation that a certain BBC political correspondent was taking dick-tation from him.

The SofS said 27."Prime Minister Boris Johnson said 127 foreign drivers had applied for visas aimed at tackling shortages, however, the Department for Business said only 27 drivers had been identified. It has not confirmed what Mr Johnson's number was referring to.
Johnson said 127. Complete fabrication. No basis in fact.
Client journalists quoted Johnson widely and ignored the DfE and SoS statements.
Courtiers.

'Bias' is a noun. Meaning that which leans to one side.
Therefore something which displays bias is 'biased', an adjective modifying another noun (e.g. a 'biased opinion')
