Something about stopped clocks twice a day. Really infuriating that I actually agree with anything Reform say. The trouble is, now, the horse has bolted. The genie is out of the lamp and we’re slightly buggered.

Saskia Coplans just wrote a great piece on LinkedIn around this, I really liked her point about avoiding the erosion of trust in legislation, from this Yusuf isn't helping ;) And I kind of love starting with "as a technical person, unlike those dinosaurs", and then forgetting what VPN stands for...
