scoobie[/url]":vwyrp6it]I fail to see how the Snooper's Charter can be squared with the EU Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications ...

A cynic might conclude that this is why there will also shortly be a referendum on whether the UK should leave the EU ...

Reasons like this make me want to stay in the EU, where normally I'd be more eurosceptic. I'm also not generally in favour of this 'ever closer political union' agenda that the EU has, but then they do come up with sensible directives such as this. I'm so torn.

Sadly I bet the actual EU in/out debate will mostly be centred around 'immigration' which is really not the problem.

Indeed. A cynic might also suggest that leaving the EU may allow the UK to have it's own Human Rights Charter, instead of the ECHR charter which hamstrings certain decision making.
