True enough, lots of OAPs and other pensioners are going to be hurt, but that is the consequence of ownership. British gov't is going to lose quite a bit of revenue at a very inopportune time as well as I understand it.
One cannot recieve the benefits of ownership and shared management meanwhile protesting the consequences of failure. Its their burden to bear, not the resident's and businesses of the Coast nor the wildlife nor the environment. If they cannot afford to pay for their mistakes, they should not have been taking the risks in the first place.
