I was amazed that I also couldn't find any prominent mention about this when it passed, but that only cemented my view that our media are not free. They will not publish something that could outrage public against an agenda that has got a green light and has to go through no matter what. Even so called outlets that praise themselves as being "anti-tories" have not published anything. There is plenty of stories like that and it is extremely worrying. I think there is corruption going on at a scale not seen before and there is media embargo. One striking story I remember when it was discovered that husband of drugs minister (that minister had anti-cannabis stance) was running medical cannabis crops making the UK biggest exporter of cannabis in the world. When this was discovered only RT wrote about that and weeks later they where threatened their license will be pulled (on a "unrelated" matter, to not bring attention). Only few months later, when everyone was talking about it online, BBC dared to publish the story and drugs minister promised to withdraw herself from anything cannabis related and she kept the office. Can you imagine that in a civilised country?!
