@neil @badambassador @hedders In my experience ICO action relies on strongly felt opinions from data subjects raising complaints - usually resulting in a "bad dog, don't do it again" from ICO (giving the offender enough intel to tighten up their data opsec).

Most of the breaching organisations (for both PECR and DPA) feel it is their right to make money, and try a smokescreen of "you can't prove it was us spamming you / selling your data".

There's nothing proactive in this space.

A dance of two pairs!

While the two Magellanic Clouds shine upon the Atacama Desert in #Chile, two Auxiliary Telescopes of ESO’s Very Large Telescope Interferometer point up to the sky.

Just like our cosmic neighbours move around the Milky Way, the Auxiliary Telescopes can be moved along rails and arranged in different configurations when observing the sky.

Rockstar, the games company, has sacked staff from its Edinburgh offices for seeking union recognition to negotiate better terms & conditions of employment.

Once again, workers' right to act collectively is seen as illegitimate by employers. The firm of course itself is the result of collective action among investors!

Class war is alive & well in the games industry, and the Scottish Greens are right to be supporting these workers!

How many deaths to end a war? ‘Eyes Turned Skywards’ is a fast-paced thriller set mainly in northern Scotland during World War Two. It uses many real settings, transported eight decades back in time.

The book’s central character uses a Hawker Hurricane as his personal transport as he pursues his investigations in Oban and Caithness. This Hurricane was seen some years ago at an airshow at what was then RAF Leuchars.
