I don't even understand your rant. The committee running WorldCon each year has total control over the Hugo awards. This year the "Chengdu Worldcon Hugo committee had inserted a worrying clause indicating that local government officials could invalidate nominations for breaching the norms and standards of China."

What did that have to do with the UK or any other year's WorldCon?
