AWS goes down. Takes down UK Gov login gateway, including HMRC login. What kind of brain-dead idiot decided to base a key government gateway on an overseas cloud service ??

If you live in the United Kingdom, this block is the result of new legislation which leaves us temporarily unable to operate in the UK due to the risk of fines. We are required to comply with a long list of demands, some of which are too expensive or complicated to implement for such a small website so we have been left with no choice but to block UK users.
