That isnt a cost, its a benefit.

Makes no sense that the UK parliament can't do what it decides should be
done.

The government is not your friend. We need to be protected from bad
government. The EU could do that and now it will be gone. So we aren't
taking back control, we are just handing it to someone else.

Dont need friends, got plenty of those.

What we all need is sensible legislation.

We need to be protected from bad government.


That is what the constitution is there for.

The EU could do that


Like hell it could. It was in fact the worst approach
to govt, policy decided by unelected bureaucrats who
can't even be sacked when they **** up badly enough.

Merkel can be given the bums rush at the ballot box
now that she ****ed up so spectacularly encouraging
more than a million illegals to move to Germany.

Nothing can be done now that the EU has been stupid enough
to allow them to pour in in much larger numbers to the EU.

and now it will be gone.


And so that completely stupid approach to govt should be.

So we aren't taking back control,


Even sillier than you usually manage with who
gets to decide that sort of government policy.

The British parliament gets to do that, again.

we are just handing it to someone else.


Even sillier than you usually manage, remoaner.

It should make no difference! The ruling is that it is unlawful to
collect this data for EVERY person in the country and for the
authorities to have 'free' access as a matter of routine.

If someone is suspected of being involved in crime/terrorism then the
authorities can still obtain a court order and get the information, as
they have always been able to do.

They need to be able to identify suspects from suspicious traffic, not vice versa.

Who hasn't, from someone?

Cf Hillary Clinton....

the point is once the data is held somewhere, the potential exists for
someone else to get hold of it...

The authorities first have to identify from the 100s of millions of
daily calls or internet accesses which are the destination/source for
this suspicious traffic. Do you not think that once identified the
authorities do not already (legally or illegally) monitor this traffic?

Do you believe that these days with all the publicity that terrorists
still set up accounts in their own name and address in order to
communicate with each other? For £15 you can buy a basic mobile phone,
put in an untraceable PAYG SIM and make a few calls before tossing it
away.

Certain legislation will only work if everyone is law abiding. It does
nothing to stop criminal activities.

Someone else that we have some ability to vote out of office. Unlike
the EU Commissioners who can't be voted out (but perhaps you hadn't
noticed that), or the EU Parliament where, yes, there are elections,
but they don't make any substantial difference to the make up of the
Parliament.

You need to understand that, in those European countries that use PR,
the notion of a permanent political *class* is much more embedded than
it is here.


Yes, and they naively believe that makes them better at running stuff,
whereas we can see that it actually makes them worse.

In my view,non targeted data collection only leads to a mountain of data
nobody can sift through. Without at least collecting it as needed it seems
to be a total waste of everyone's time in the current state of the art.

If you collect it and then identify someone of interest you can then
sift through the data looking for others to be interested in.

They will be delighted with what the EU has achieved for them:
weakening Greece and Italy (front line states against immigration)


And you really think a strong economy will stop immigrants trying to get
to that country?

because of that currency flop, the Euro, and opening borders making
terrorist travel a lot easier (as we have just seen).


We'll be building a wall between Eire and Ulster, then?

And hadn't you noticed that the recent German tragedy was carried out by
someone not from an EU country?

Very true. Allowing the state free access to everything might be fine if
you think that information could only be used against terrorism, etc. But
in practice it will get used for any purpose 'the state' thinks is OK.

Remind us again of how many votes UKIP got at the last election, but have
effectively no voice in the UK parliament with only one seat?

I'll give you a clue. They got almost three times as many votes as the SNP
who have 56 seats in the UK parliament.

It appears you only support the sort of democracy that works for you.

Nope, with the current system, after some obscenity like the
very recent obscenity in Berlin with the truck, its possible to
see who he has communicated with in the recent past one
you have worked out who was the driver and hopefully then
be able to find at least some of his associates if there are any.

That has to be better than nothing. Particularly with fools like that
that are actually stupid enough to leave his wallet behind in the truck.

We have recently seen a rapist/murderer caught in days after
the murder because he didn't realise that the victim had a phone.
Her phone was tracked moving over the same route as his from
the crime scene and so it wasn’t hard to work out who did it.

No they don't. Having found a suspect they need top know with whom they
are communicating to identify the scale of the threat. The vast majority
of the retained data will never be looked at, certainly not by human
eyes.

arise but I can live with them as the system on the whole is better than
any other currently in action elsewhere in the world.

You can always tell when a remoaner runs out f valid arguments by the
way he starts to mount personal attacks against ukip members by
ascribing attributes to them that are actually attributes of remoaners.

And the utter inability to spell English words, like bureaucrat.

I have absolutely NOTHING to do with ukip and
have always considered that they are completely
****ing irrelevant given that they couldnt even
manage to get Farage a seat in parliament and
could only manage the one MP, who would
have remained an MP regardless of which
party he preferred to be part of.

UKIP didnt even manage to produce the referendum,
Cameron had one because he had decided that it was
the best way to shut up Tory MPs who wanted BRexit.

Of course ukippers have spent years complaining bitterly that the EU
protects the Human Rights of its citizens.

atrocity.

How is this a cost arising from Brexit?


The EU gets no say on that post BRexit.

Whether that is a cost or a benefit tho...

If you've ever watched the mechanics of data trawling you find that the 'reasoning' used is routinely idiotic, that the differentiation between fact & fiction is largely nonexistent, and the conlcusions drawn are thus complete nonsense a substantial amount of the time. Thus any data is liable to result in inappropriate hostile responses.

'I've got nothing to hide' may be true, but it's a naive way to deal with the realities of modern life.

The authorities first have to identify from the 100s of millions of
daily calls or internet accesses which are the destination/source for
this suspicious traffic. Do you not think that once identified the
authorities do not already (legally or illegally) monitor this traffic?


GCHQ

Do you believe that these days with all the publicity that terrorists
still set up accounts in their own name and address in order to
communicate with each other? For £15 you can buy a basic mobile phone,
put in an untraceable PAYG SIM and make a few calls before tossing it
away.


Certain legislation will only work if everyone is law abiding. It does
nothing to stop criminal activities.


Very true. Allowing the state free access to everything might be fine if
you think that information could only be used against terrorism, etc. But
in practice it will get used for any purpose 'the state' thinks is OK.


or a purpose some prat thinks they can get away with putting under the umbrella of a legitimate state activity, no matter how unrealistic that is.

That isnt a cost, its a benefit.

Makes no sense that the UK parliament can't do what it decides should be
done.


The government is not your friend.


Dont need friends, got plenty of those.

What we all need is sensible legislation.

We need to be protected from bad government.


That is what the constitution is there for.

The EU could do that


Like hell it could. It was in fact the worst approach
to govt, policy decided by unelected bureaucrats who
can't even be sacked when they **** up badly enough.

Merkel can be given the bums rush at the ballot box
now that she ****ed up so spectacularly encouraging
more than a million illegals to move to Germany.

Nothing can be done now that the EU has been stupid enough
to allow them to pour in in much larger numbers to the EU.

and now it will be gone.


And so that completely stupid approach to govt should be.

So we aren't taking back control,


Even sillier than you usually manage with who
gets to decide that sort of government policy.

The British parliament gets to do that, again.

we are just handing it to someone else.


Even sillier than you usually manage, remoaner.



Here we have a single, simple, clear example of how we will lose
important safeguards of our rights and freedoms when we lose our
membership of the EU. You stare at it and blink and scratch your head
with complete incomprehension and then give it a bit of swearing and
rant out a few meaningless phrases like 'unelected beurocrats' plus a
bit of gratuitous abuse and that's your response. That's the ukip way.

Of course ukippers have spent years complaining bitterly that the EU
protects the Human Rights of its citizens. Now it suits you to say that
they can't and never could. It's also the ukip way.

I find such failure to comprehend odd.

It's very odd, isn't it? Taking back control will involve removing many
rights that somehow the kippers think will never effect them.

I could quite understand that if there weren't, apparently, so many
'working class' that seem to support UKIP. Basically turkeys voting for
Xmas. Exactly the same as in the US.

It's certainly a lesson to others that some people will believe anything
they're promised. I suppose it's the same sort of person who plays the
lottery each week.

Oh, I didn't know that all bs from authorities had just ceased. Great news. That or you've never heard of a court case in which the defendant was found innocent. Or you're just ****ed.
