It's a shame to see another story like this but the world is full of corporations that are essentially self governing, with the power to coerce governments and legislation to their benefit, hell America is even worse for that kind of thing but with Brexit and Rupert Murdoch eyeing up the carcass of the UK like a vulture I can't see the UK being much different for long. One of the many reasons I think Crypto is going to succeed, if the worlds 1% didn't get so greedy the world wouldn't need the kind of wealth redistribution that Crypto offers.
