Something you can't afford to forget at times like this is that for many of the people in charge, the moral imperative to keep everyone calm trumps the moral imperative to tell the truth. They WILL lie to keep people and the markets calm. That's not a conspiracy theory: our laws and methods of governing basically compell them to do this. It's not malicious either, it comes from a genuine effort to "do what's best".

"Nanny state" is a meme, but the UK government has demonstrated many times that it governs like a parent not a partner. If it believes it's unsafe for you to know a thing, it will try to hide it from you. You need to factor that into your decision making process.
