These fines are part of a pattern to protect home grown companies and thwart competition from more efficient American companies.
Of course it isn't. Good grief. They publish lists of fines they've made each year. If you can spot "a pattern to protect home grown companies" then well done you.

"Under the Financial Services Act 2012 we must pay the Exchequer all financial penalties received, apart from certain enforcement costs incurred in generating these penalties in the same year. We use these retained penalties to reduce our fees, apart from the fees levied on the penalty payer itself."
