  Interesting indeed. I thought it peculiar that the UK government released the Tony Blair report just before the BRexit vote. That report certainly got many people riled up about the 'establishment' and possibly could have changed the BRexit voting result. My point is that if the UK had stayed in the EU then the UK surveillance bill might have been dead in the water because it might have comflicted with EU law.

    The EU referendum was on the 23rd June 2016 and the Chilcot report (as it is known formerly) was released 6th of July 2016. So those facts aside your point, do you have any conflicting EU laws in mind? I ask as currently the UK has not left and then looking at 2 years notice so any new UK law coming into play for years (due to the time to formulate them), will be complying within current EU laws and regulations. TL;DR No and no. But I respect the premise.
