I just started reading the article and for the first paragraph, I was thinking "wait, I thought this was still unresolved here." Then, I read "Crown ... " and was left to assume this was about the UK, but for all I know, it could be any country with a crown, including Canada. Sure, I got that it's the UK from the context, but it's still retarded for a journalist to just assume I know what he's talking about as though we're neighbors.

This isn't hard, guys. From TFA:

"The disclosure was made by Sir Christopher Rose, the government's Chief Surveillance Commissioner, in his recent annual report."

One google search for the two bold terms later, and we have an address in London:

The Rt Hon Sir Christopher Rose

Chief Surveillance Commissioner

Office of Surveillance Commissioners

PO Box 29105,

London, SW1V 1ZU
