Well that is quite the demand, we've got similar problems ourselves so you're on your own there

I think I'm right in saying it was your government that put paid to the last 2 attempts to enable universal message snooping throughout the EU (called Chat Control in its most recent incarnation). Our shitty government - whether Labour or Tory - is one of the most eager to get its hands on such a draconian wide-ranging power.

I think what we're seeing in the US right now should be taken as even more reason to prevent such brazen encroachment of government into individuals' private lives. For that reason alone, I don't think you should be so keen to allow the UK back into the EU; not without some kind of electoral reform at least (i.e. some form of Proportional Representation).
