The Data Protection rules in the EU are completely unworkable. Read even the first couple of pages of the GDPR EU regulations and you will, as anybody would, see just how unworkable the regulations are. There are so many problems with it that I wouldn't even be able to summarise here. Look at them yourself and tell me the regulations are worthwhile. They're just more petty bureaucracy designed to give power to the EU but make everyone jump through hoops or be scared of non compliance. With totally astronomical fines for the slightest breaches. No one's following the regulations, however, as it's literally impossible.

Red and Blue Army!

The subject matter is in the future so cannot be a fact.

That's why it's called an opinion.

I have not ever opined the Euro would cease to exist As a currency it cannot be alive or healthy but I get the general point you are clumsily making.

Being naive and misinformed is something you are much better qualified to comment on than myself.

Always look forward to your posts

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Good point. I presume then that companies will increasingly seek to host their servers outside of the EU. Hence the EU warning Britain.
With GDPR you can't send an email with a name or wear a name badge. You can't leave your screen on in the office. There's plenty more. No one could ever possibly be compliant. It's a total joke.

Good article from M&S boss about the paperwork nonsense.

I hadn't realised that we were giving the EU a free ride on import controls well, that ends in October, so either they start to negotiate sensibly about red tape or they and especially Eire will start to experience problems.

Rubber glue back at you.

One more point

The evidence mounts that Brexit is an almost unmitigated disaster.

The slogan “get Brexit done” has been supplanted by “supply chain issues”. As a direct, and wholly predictable, consequence of Brexit, Britain is economically, culturally, reputationally, politically and diplomatically poorer.

'It's all gone quiet, over there'.

I think the shortage of goods is eu wide. not sure if brexit can be responsible for that. Still if it is we are clearly a former huge player in the eu.
