It's like a grouse shoot - pick on an industry that is accountable to the public, is well behaved and wouldn't dream of stepping out of line -and then audit them to death, followed up by lashings of bureaucratic bollo**s and legislation designed to throttle the last breath from them and let them loose back into their well disciplined line of work.
Meanwhile the rest of the onshore industry continues to manipulate the regs to their advantage, often straying into dodgy territory all in the face of our illustrious 'monitors' who continue to look the other way stalking the sitting ducks
Or am I paranoid?
