@neil if i had my druthers, whatever they are, I'd make it so that the government was bound by GDPR too. who makes a data protection law and almost entirely excludes themselves?

@neil Enforcement is inconsistent and well we all know that removing funding from enforcing agencies is one of the most effective ways of lobbying away a law. It can be done quickly (budget periods are usually shorter than legislative processes) and will be met with much less resistance because following all budget changes is unfeasible for a working mum while following all (proposed) law changes is reasonable.

@neil Can I play?

* There is a colossal amount of bollocks talked about the GDPR, and a tendency among people who feel passionately about its subject matter to assert that it says things it just doesn’t.

* People forget that PECR exists.
