This is the UK, not the US. There will be little to no fallout from this, and the victims will be threatened with consequences for speaking out.

There would be a class action lawsuit where lawyers take two thirds of the settlement and those affected would get enough for a fancy Starbucks coffee.

Class action lawsuits usually give about a third to the lawyers, and the rest is divided between the plaintiffs, so most of them get 10 or 20 bucks.
