1) MY THOUGHTS ON GDPR... - From the 25th of May those perfidious bureaucrats at the European Union are continuing to strengthen the Brexit cause by imposing yet more onerous legislation to stifle small business and choke out any sign of economic activity, this time called the General Data Protection Regulations. As part of this pen pushing rigmarole and to avoid my becoming a criminal database I am unwillingly obliged to let you know how I intend to use your data to become an international conglomerate. I will reply to your telephone call, email or social media message as soon as possible. Other than finalising details of talks and events or whatever it is unlikely I will contact you again. I do not keep files on anyone nor have any intention of doing mailshots, direct marketing or similar, or of selling your data on to anyone (unless offered a large amount of cash of course). However any personal information you have already supplied (such as telephone number, email address, nude photos, times when hubbies out etcetera) will undoubtedly continue to be retained by BT, Google, Facebook, Twitter, FBI, CIA, Mossad, MI 1-9, Special Branch, FSA, CSA and so on, and somewhere in my computer where it is presumably as safe as the details lodged with the TSB... read more...
