Something I want to add here is that despite the conclusions of that research I shared, I am personally very grateful for the opportunities I got in Britain and just the opportunity to live here in a relatively stable, peaceful, advanced, kind, welcoming, and high-trust society.
Every now and then I think about giving back to where I came from but if I do, chances are it will all be down a drain. Britain is where I feel at homeLeave a comment:

That page does not require any user information for access and has no unsecured "registration" or "payment" links on it, so that's fairly reasonable levels of due diligence on my part...
Agree it's good practice for websites to have SSL enabled throughout (and fairly easy/cheap to get a good SSL certificate - many domain providers/cloud hosts provide them as a free add-on) but not the end of the world if a a page with static, read-only, publicly-accessible text is presented over http.

It would be if I asked someone to register/pay/login on it. For public read-only information it hardly matters if its not httpS
Accessing the http link is "acceptable risk" in this usecase
