The whole thing will fail once they realise how impossible this is to implement.

I bet somebody said that very sentence just after the country voted for Brexit. But no. The government handed out shovels and started digging their collective grave at an ever increasing pace.

[anothernewdude]

Yes. And it did fail.

Uhhm…. Brexit?

These clowns (and not just this specific bunch, the entire UK political class) did Brexit, do you really think a small thing like the feasibility of this law will stop them?

[radiator]

What do you mean "these clowns did Brexit"? All they did was to organize a referendum. Why does this make them clowns in your eyes?

[djaychela]

I wish that were true, but I doubt it. They'll carry on, as they have in other self-immolating ways.

I see GDPR as the same thing. People in Germany getting fined heaps for including google fonts in the websites.

Do they really get fined for this by a DPA or a court in Germany? Is it not one of these shady lawyers sending an invoice for “providing legal advice”? I (and people I “know”) reported countless uses of Google Analytics to our DPA, back when Schrems II was still effective, and all they did was send a bunch of letters. Anyway, GDPR is getting enforced, even if DPAs are slow. Not sure what your point is here.
