Brother Blades Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 No doubt Bercow was a Tory c**t & may very well still be, but he’s done a great job of hiding it in his (albeit meant to be neutral position) latest role. I’ll be sad to see him go as he’s entertaining & has really modernised the HoC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Dominic Grieve seems to be somewhat bitter. This whole vote on asking the government via the queen to handover personal communications is very much a case of be careful what you wish for. What next, hard disks of journalists ?Fairly sure this goes against (ironically) ECHR type stuff.Very Soviet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they've used social media to conduct official business they've broken the law. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is suspicion of misconduct, the the civil service code basically allows every aspect of the defendant's life to be laid bare. The solution is simple, if glib: don't do things you know are wrong.This is why so many of the names on the list are so junior - you don't think the likes of JRM or Javidare daft enough to be having conversations or issuing orders that could be traced back to then, do you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(In my area of the CS, at least, but we are also covered by the OSA)All data discovered is strictly controlled, anything which is irrelevant is redacted, and all data obtained is destroyed if no case to answer.Shite, I agree, but maybe Yer Average Punter would linked to think that those serving the public - at whatever level - were subject to scrutiny? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
