It should be added to the article that the person who brought this challenge, lorry driver Stewart Dimmock is a member of The New Party (UK) which is bankrolled by Scottish businessman Robert Durward, the director of the British Aggregates Association- more info in this article here

 where he is described as "an avowed enemy of environmentalists, an opponent of "witchhunts" against drink-drivers and an advocate of letting the army sort out schools, hospitals, and roads". 

 Durward says he is "a businessman who is totally fed up with all this environmental stuff... much of which is unjustified, such as the climate change levy. We also have the aggregates tax, which will put the UK quarry industry out of business.' Durward and Adams established the Scientific Alliance in 2001."  

 the Scientific Alliance is a pro heavy industry lobbying group.
