I'd love to know what the potential consequences would be of running a simple analysis of (e.g.) unique visitors to various pages on your own website, and then one of those visitors complaining that this had been achieved by tracking sessions without their consent. Is this really GDPR / DPA / ePrivacy territory? If so, I stand corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Quote Boris Johnson’s suspension of the UK Parliament is unlawful, Scotland’s highest civil court has ruled. A panel of three judges at the Court of Session found in favour of a cross-party group of politicians who were challenging the prime minister's move. The decision overturns an earlier ruling from the court, which said last week Mr Johnson had not broken the law. But it will not immediately affect the current suspension of Parliament, which started in the early hours of Tuesday. This is because no order has been given by the court to cancel the suspension ahead of a full hearing at the Supreme Court which starts on Tuesday of next week. In a summary of their findings, the Court of Session judges said that the suspension of Parliament was motivated by a desire to "stymy Parliament". They added: "The Court will accordingly make an Order declaring that the Prime Minister's advice to HM the Queen and the prorogation which followed thereon was unlawful and is thus null and of no effect." Their full judgment will be released on Friday. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-49661855 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to be honest, the Govt aren't helping themselves. You have cabinet ministers mentioning Brexit when explaining why the prorogation is happening and even in their response to the 'Don't Prorogue Parliament' petition, they mentioned it. They can't, with a straight face, state prorogation is normal and nothing to do with Brexit, then keep mentioning Brexit in the same sentence.

Proroguing parliament can be pretty convincingly argued as being normal. This parliamentary session has run much longer than usual and a new PM is a good reason to reset it. It’s the length of time it’s been prorogued that is (pretty obviously) done to stifle parliament. It is up for debate as to whether it’s legitimately necessary to shut down parliament for this long. The Scottish court seems to have come to a common sense decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when they've given the bolded as the official reason, both to the Public and to Queen, then banged on about Brexit in relation to it, it's pretty clear what the real reason is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony of it is that the oppoisition parties probably (privately) want parliament to stay prorogued at this point rather than face an election vote every day. He's legally boxed in right now and opening parliament could conceivably be his route out of the mess of his own making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has overall authority on everything, she is the head of state and commands a position similar to the President of the United States. The irony is however that if she ever decided to exorcise that power to overrule parliament she would likely be the last sitting monarch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Trading with the rest of the world is great and all, but for perishables and essential stuff, getting it from the continent is just better for everyone. I just don't get what No Deal'ers think happens post 31st October. To get a deal with the EU, we'd need to agree to terms similar to the WA, with our same red lines. The same shit happens again, only this time our GDP goes off a cliff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
