But sure, can see even the UK adopting a change of attitude and institutions there stuffing subpoenas at the bottom of a dusty filing tray. The UK is just one country who has directly opposing views on gaming and an interest in developing this further - and privacy is certainly an issue.
I don't understand why you say the EU wouldn't get involved just because other countries don't care. The UK government has to abide by European law and as such should consult the ECJ in case of doubt, because if it doesn't, any single user of those betting shops could take the UK govt to court.

Huh? The UK is EU, the companies are EU, therefore is involved nomatter who asks to break the law.
