      This doesn’t have anything to do with Brexit.

      As the article says, it was first put forward in 2006 and parts of it became law in 2016.

      I’m afraid Unbrexiting would just make this a whole lot worse. In a Brexit environment at least everyone can eventually agree to just ignore the UK’s outlandish laws. If they were still in the EU that would be almost impossible. Plus they would likely try to push this bullshit into EU policies as well (not like parts of the rest of the EU aren’t doing that already)
