Evil retailers like Specsavers trying to change the regs so that prescription specs have to be sold face to face and no longer allowed via interweb (at a guess?).

There is that, but it's not what Specsavers are trying to do, it's what he's trying to do to get publicity from it, and pissing off a load of other people in the industry. I think he overestimates his importance. Specsavers turnover £750m a year, he does about £4.5m. I think you're absolutely right that it won't go through - and hopefully if not UK regulations, EU regulations would prevent it because of anti-competition laws - but big business often control a government. Whilst at the same time, Specsavers are just shooting themselves in the foot by not selling online, which they'd regret. Time will tell.
