There is now, thanks to a piece by Andrew Gilligan in The Telegraph, a name for this sort of 鈥渋t鈥檚 your own fault if you didn鈥檛 respond鈥� government activity. It is a 鈥渘onsultation鈥�. For the future, it looks as if the previous government鈥檚 agreement with our industry to allow time for changes to the rules to be considered is part of the 鈥渂onfire of regulation鈥�.
