New UK government proposal aims to forbid investors from using the DRS or physical certificates. They want you to own nothing and be happy about it. Let them know that you're not happy! (lemmy.whynotdrs.org)

The UK government are trying to force investors to hold shares in a broker or other nominee. They want to remove the option to DRS digitally recorded shares entirely, meaning UK investors would no longer be allowed to own their shares.

This is pretty disgusting imo and needs to be addressed. Check out this site for further info, and for what you can do about it (it's an email much like SEC stuff).
