Anyone else catch the irony that this is the same nation that passed an absurd "cookie law" in the name of protecting people's online privacy?

As I understand it they backed away from the stronger restrictions at the last minute... but still, the very idea of a surveillance nation like the UK "protecting" people by blocking third party cookies would be hilarious if it wasn't also tragic. Very generously they've said they won't prosecute offenders... probably... unless they don't like you... or have a political axe to grind... or you're the wrong ethnicity...
