The justification is that the equipment presents a national security risk.

If that's true, how is it reasonable to allow this equipment to operate in the UK for 7 more years? Doesn't that mean the UK is willingly under national security risk for 7 years?

Unless, of course, there was never a security risk...

Not dissimilar to how face masks are being made compulsory in shops by the British government.

In 11 days' time.

And 2 days ago Gove said they wouldn't be compulsory.

They are just panicking because of the economy (latest figures show a 20% crash).
