It was never going to pass. Sure they may have tried to push it through but there are far too many people that they would need to get it past, and those people either understand how technology works or at least consult people who understand how technology works.

The Tories always trying to implement laws that are physically impossible. All the sodding time.

Same with the REUL bill. I don't really understand why they propose them if they aren't realistic. Could it be to appease backbenchers?
