        @Snowden This is the REAL reason some Conservatives want to leave EU. GCHQ activities would be illegal.

        @BlackStar7713 @Snowden Apologies, I meant "EU etc." as in whole shebang: ECJ, ECHR -- the lot. Repatriation of ALL powers.

        @Snowden Of course, the UK Government is saying they'll ditch the ECHR, so they'll simply ignore the ruling and carry on.
