The UK is expanding the use of live facial recognition technology. This can be a problem from the point of view of @echr.coe.int as this is an interference with the right to privacy under Article 8. The case Glukhin v Russia is a reference point here. www.bbc.com/news/article...
Government expands police use of live facial recognition vans
The Home Office says the technology helps locate suspects but civil liberties groups warn of heightened surveillance.

@tomswarbrick.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk discussed the issue of letting a person into the UK from Gaza for med treatment. This is a decision of UK courts and has nothing to do with the European Court. The mantra that reform UK keeps reiterating about foreign judgments is a pure manipulation here.

The selectiveness in this piece, including in the characterisation of the ECtHR case law, is shocking, especially for a self-identified 'legal historian'. But my main question is: how can anyone from the 'left' see what's happening in the US and think 'I'd very much like some of that here, please?'

The UK government is planing to increase the time for settlement to 10 year to those who are already here and started their process under the old rules. This is not only time what matters but it includes massive expense. This seems rather unfair.
