Everyone in the tech industry facepalms almost every time legislators try to pontificate on technology, but the British government appears to be trying to set a new record. After putting iMessage and FaceTime at risk, the government is now suggesting that it might ban some Apple security updates.

It's beginning to feel all bad at this point, yeah, I agree.

They'll save a lot of money, but (a) the cost isn't worth it and (b) it's just totally assenine logic that takes a dump on the idea of a government's existence having any sense of meaning that goes beyond serving the interests of the wealthy.
