I think it’s a cultural issue. The British have an inflated sense of national self worth as a result of being the world’s largest power during the British empire. While this has not been the case for some time now (since Suez in 1948? Longer?) the people still carry the memory and national myth of great importance. This is likely what drives a sense of entitlement that British demands should bypass the laws of every other country in the world and give them unfettered access to everyone’s data. Think about that, literally everyone who has an Apple device!

Frankly, the arrogance is appalling.
