WTF?

So that's the big deal

Sloppy admin. We've all done illegal stuff without realising it. Woken up and driven to work while our blood alcohol was still a tad over the limit, cycled up a one-way street without noticing the sign, let an almost-adult kid watch a dodgy movie without their parents' express consent, whatever. Now it's the Home Secretary's turn to illegally delegate powers. What can you do, slap the spooks for doing what their political masters expected because they were too lazy to do it themselves?

Look, a horse just bolted from that stable over there, better go and lock the door quick.

Roll on ubiquitous encryption and open democracy, I say.
