Sometimes I can‘t help thinking whether the UK is just the US‘ trojan horse in the EU. Well, things might change quite a bit after October 31st, so hurry up!

Not much to think about we completely and totally are.

One of the things that came out of Snowden releases was just how bloody efficient and interconnectef GCHQ is with the NSA.

It's rather typical that the most efficient government body appears to be the one used for spying on its own (and everyone else's) citizens.

It's ok though as the new home secretary is a stable and sensible...no wait it's Priti "I had to resign because I had secret undeclared meetings with a foreign power" Patel[1].

We are totally fucked.

The title is incorrect. The Schengen Information System does not keep data for "all EU citizens", it only keeps such data for wanted persons, missing/stolen identity documents or objects (like cars, boats and so on).

There is no centralized database for EU citizens photos or fingerprints (not even at national level in many countries).

This begs the question if UK/EU got a copy of all the US citizens ' fingerprints in return. It is possible to commit treason against your own country. Can someone commit treason against the EU? Is it a criminal offense?

Yes, when you’re a whistle blower (no joke). http://www.againstchildtrafficking.org/2018/06/roelie-post-t...
