The British government had nothing to do with this.
The FBI asked a US company to hand over some hardware, the US company acquiesced. The location of the hardware would have nothing to do with it, unless Rackspace refused.

If they get modded up, then it proves them wrong.
If they get modded down, I don't have to listen them.
As a member of an intelligence agency that has to read all your internal mail, I'd like to point out that you need to add salt to the recipe.
