They're Tories, so only the bottom lip.

Another fantastic win for Brexit. Be proud Brexiteers!

[littlebabyjesus]

GDPR isn't quite right. It can be abused by people to waste others' time, hours and hours of it, with vexatious, unsubstantiated claims and requests, often hoovering up the time of unpaid volunteers running member organisations.

Meanwhile, the US system is wide open to abuse by government.

Both systems need overhauling.

I have personal experience of how much a malicious person can fuck people over with GDPR. An organisation I help to run (all volunteer) spent hours supplying redacted emails - any email mentioning this person's name - with not a shred of evidence offered as to why they were needed.

What odds can I get on a last minute deal being signed? The more Boris, Gove et al. make gloomy public pronouncements on how unlikely a deal is looking, the more convinced I become that it’s definitely going to get agreed. Just on the simple logic that they can be relied upon 100% to be lying, each and every time they open their mouths.
