Writing in the New Scientist today, Ray Corrigan (a senior lecturer in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics faculty at the Open University) describes the perfect storm for loss of liberty in the UK.
Corrigan is right to be worried about the combination of the IP Bill, Brexit and Trump.
