Ok forwarded the link to my local MP and while the issues are technical
i have tried to argue or at least say that we should have fairness and
if we want to run other systems we should be able to.

Also made a point in saying thast many universities / industries use
Linux for their work,  as well as Linux being used for film CGI,

Not sure if this helps but I really don't know what else i can do,   A
lot of users probably won't even notice,  until it's too late.
