How about some great celebratory cheers for a Tory Chancellor that has engineered the potential for a global agreement on corporation tax.....

 

Surely a cause that must be at the very core of all anti capitalist / anti establishment SJWs?

 

 

Pics or it didn't happen.

I’d refer you to the news headlines Mark. 
 

G7 proposal - albeit, needs to be approved by G20 - but undeniably a massive step in right direction. 
 

What ‘actually’ comes to fruition, and when, is another story but that’s global politics - glacial!

 

What a state anyway. The Corps act (exploit) within existing law, laws don’t change quickly, global economics follows the money, people bitch about profit and wealth disparity then go out and whore themselves to the corporate consumer heroin.

That is something worth celebrating.

Some good info on the "Opt out" links on there.
I've only had a brief look at this but it seems to be an overly convoluted process to opt-out. No doubt intentionally, bstards. Looks like you've got to go out of your way to do it by printing off a form and taking it in to your GP. I mean, paper, why do we need to use that these days?

Bloody good news if it does actually turn out to be true. Long overdue.
I was listening to an article about it and it was mentioned that the recent change at the White House had also been a fundamental enabling mechanism for it as well. Obviously.

In a nutshell yes, your medical data has immense commercial value. Access to it has the potential to allow people to make money by either selling you something or denying you something.

True. I've heard BigPharma Reps used to wine and dine Drs so only their drugs would be prescribed. That was over 20 years ago, mind. I was asking the question on Opting Out in the light of Big Data rather than consumer rights or citizen duties.

 

Here's a silly old story to illustrate how patient records being anonymised isn't an issue:

 

Back in the Wild West, a man rides into town to withdraw his savings from the bank after hearing his money might not be safe there. The bankmanager tells him "Sorry, Sir. There's been a robbery". The bankmanager then goes on to explain how the bank looks after everyone's money. Each person's cash is kept down in the safe, each boxed or bagged and individually named. "Unfortunately", says the bank manager, "the robbers took your box and there's nothing the bank can do about it".

 

Few would question why data has value: using historical trend/pattern analysis makes the future clearer. More data => refined accuracy -> greater value. For everyone.

@Sutton that is true, however data can be a weapon also, and knowing how to attack and when to attack is a powerful force. Government backed hackers are having great effect. K
