Au contraire, there is an active UK Laser Working Group sponsored by DfT, which is how the law got changed last year. It is now illegal to use a laser against any form of transport, or ATC facilities, and it is now punishable by up to 5 years jail or an unlimited fine. So people do care...

I hope you reported the attacks as required by EC 376/2014, MOR etc? I’m told the Laser WG had to convince the Govt the problem was under-reported before anything got moving.
