I suspect the RMT concerns go further, and deeper, than compliance with company administration regulations.

Take for example the City Link press release of 11 November to see that a very different picture to what we now know to be the reality was being painted.

By any standard it reads of a glowing, burgeoning, successful company expanding and recruiting many hundreds of new employees and sub contractors. I suspect there may be questions to be answered from a Business Secretary perspective in relation to the message it will have sent to staff, customers and, ultimately, shareholders.

Still, let's consider the human damage caused. Nobody likes or wants to lose their job.
