Governmental advocates for mandatory backdoors have no clue that they effectively make encryption moot. UK users will only be silghtly less secure with no encryption vs. backdoored encryption.

They want a backdoor so they can use it, but so can everyone else if they know where it is. In some ways, that makes it worse than having no encryption at all because it gives you the illusion of safety when in reality, if people know how to jiggle the handle of your door the right way, they can walk right into your living room at any time.
