    Nah, can't be, they said it was a European one and the UK voted to no longer be part of Europe. /s

    Incidentally, the European court for human rights said that that law violated the ECHR convention.

    The UK said "yeah, so what?", which since they've left the EC it's legally right, but it's not a great outlook when you're told your laws violate human rights.
