Mervyn King, the governor of the Bank of England, had to write an open letter to the chancellor this week to explain why consumer-price inflation had diverged so far from the 2% target, reaching 3.5% in the year to January.
That prompted the Chinese technology giant to write an open letter to the US authorities earlier this year asking them to conduct a probe into its operations and settle the issues.
As a result of this, rather than the time to write a letter (as stated by the guest on your show today), I have not challenged the fine - is this fair?
