This ruling is issued by a kangaroo court that isn't like a normal court, and the "law" in this case says that GCHQ can do pretty much whatever it likes. So I'm afraid this stuff moved outside the realm of law and democracy a long time ago.
No it doesn't!
Oversight might have failed but there are laws and GCHQ are expected to obey those laws.
Oh well if it's just the oversight of on of the most powerful agencies that failed for a measly seven years then everything is fine.
Watch as nothing changes.
