And human nature.
From Ms. Kaminska's Twitter feed:

Huh, we should probably keep an eye on this Ms. Nabiullina.
And a sort of Hat Tip. Here is the story at Politico.eu I was going for when Beyoncé caught my eye:
BoE’s Jon Cunliffe tells me at Politico’s Global Tech Day that privacy is a key concern in the 50,000 or so replies received so far to HMT’s joint consultation w/ the BoE, & that a digital £ will be private but not anon coz there are too many bad actors. https://t.co/Cq4BsIDLao

It seems that state security is the go-to excuse for anything and everything that government wants to do.
I'm starting to think all these functionaries and bureaucrats suffer from Sun King envy and that someone should probably tell them Louis no.14 didn't really say "L'État, c'est moi" and that said functionaries and bureaucrats are actually more akin to the Carolingians:
Charles II, the Bald
Louis II, the Stammerer
Charles, the Fat
Charles III, the Simple
