Default UK gets taken to EU court and loses on surveillance laws - X-posted

A Tory MP, David Davies took the (Tory) UK government to the European Court of Justice. He won, Teresa May lost and her 'snooper's charter' looks fatally damaged!

Looks like our intrusive surveillance laws will have to be changed and in a big way! Oh dear!

The article is worth a read from the irony POV too - David Davies is the Brexit Secretary! You really could not make this up

An extract:

“This is the first serious post-referendum test for our Government’s commitment to protecting human rights and the rule of law. The UK may have voted to leave the EU – but we didn’t vote to abandon our rights and freedoms.”

Watson said the ruling showed it was “counter-productive to rush new laws through Parliament without proper scrutiny.

Oooops!

I wonder how long Davies will retail his job?
