What sort of ass-backwards State allows direct Voter-approved laws to be repealed by the politicians. The purpose of having that process is to deal with situations where the State can't get their shit together.

It's that or they exit the UK market entirely.
The time to complain en masse was before the law was passed in the first place. But most people worldwide now seem to not give a shit about authoritarian policies hidden behind bullshit like "think of the children" laws.
Or... Hear me out... The authoritarian fucks simply massacred the civilians that dared to oppose them.
Occam's Razor here. The simplest answer is usually the most correct.
That's exactly what I did after Activision fucked over Infinity Ward. I used to play them all the time, but haven't bought anything Call of Duty since.
Doesn't mean much, but I'm doing what little I can.
Games as a service can be okay, in some situations. Ones we very rarely see due to (primarily) publisher greed.
If you're paying for the game itself, at any point, GaaS is stupid and extremely exploitative.
If they choose to go that route however, the game needs to be free to play with separate monetization. They need to mebe things that are completely optional and don't affect gameplay.
That's the only place he gets any information, news, events, entertainment, all of it comes from TV. Anything coming from a different place is ignored.
They have never considered actually competing have they?
They totally did, because they're indiscriminate and remain well after conflicts are over.
And then Russia started mining because they don't give a fuck. So mines are already being used in the conflict. Ukraine not having that option just ties their hands.
This is a person that in decades past would have appropriately been institutionalized for their own safety. Instead they'll probably end up as a supervisor for some fucking DOGE team where their mental capacity fits like a glove.
So, what are the chances he was told to do this a while ago, but to wait a bit so they could deny involvement like this? That's probably giving them too much credit.
It's ironic that his original pick, while a blatant issue due to nepotism and coming from Elon... Jared Isaacman does actually know Space and has experience in orbit. Anyone that's experienced the Overview Effect is almost surely a better option for leading NASA than most other choices, especially this dude.
