This could be interesting. Edie Stobart used to employ inspectors on the roads. I once heard of a driver being followed to a service station on the motorway by one of these inspectors, who then sacked the poor sod on the spot as he wasn't wearing a tie !!! Might be a bit of urban myth in this tale, but I know for a fact that it isn't that far from the truth!!
So what happens now, is there going to be a new spy satellite system sent up so they can see if the pilots are smart??
Whose reister will be aircraft be flown on? It is no secret that a fair amount of the Stobart road fleet is regsitered in Belgium to avoid road tax and fuel duty.
Personally, wouldn't let them run a village post round, let alone road transport, but then to remain fair here, I used to be involved in road haulage, and Stobart is the MOL of that industry, makes money and everyone hates him for doing it!!!
