"The watchdog has been studying virtual currencies for three months and is still considering whether they can or ought to be regulated. It has powers to ban them, though questions remain over how this could be done in practice."

Consumer protection, always. "We scare you, we protect you, oppose and we will crush you. The real question is, is bitcoin a risk for us?. Screw the public."

They have studied it for 3 months. That should be enough to "get it". They, as individuals, are probably now in load-up mode with borrowed money. 150 % BTC, -50 % fiat is the goal.

It has powers to ban them?
