In 2 separate surveys released today, research groups Plimsoll & Euler Hermes have underlined the perilous state of the UK haulage industry, one of the bellwethers of the country's economic wellbeing.
Despite these, and many, many other indicators, the dying government will increase fuel duty by 2p per litre from midnight tonight, thus threatening the livelihoods of thousands of people employed, both directly and indirectly, in the transport sector.
Still, what else can we expect from this shower who, having mortgaged the country to the hilt to try to jumpstart the economy, are now desperate for tax revenue to meet their repayment obligations.
