hahaha - the UK government has been insrumental in paving the way in 'banning encryption' and other such laws.

Thankfully they (UK Government) has proven over and over again that they are pretty inept when it comes to doing much with technology. I've worked on a number of Government projects including the recent Test and Trace debacle and they are always a shit-show.

I'd agree that outsourced national infrastructure initiatives that are either ad hoc or politically-motivated tend to be debacular in their nature - but I have a sneaking suspicion the real power houses that focus on all thing cryptographical (ie. our security services) are possibly world-leading.
