Like we're seeing at the EPO, which violates the EPC (invalidating the EPO's rationale to even exist), almost every law is being broken gleefully and the so-called 'press' cheerfully encourages breaking the law (because of the financial strings of such press)
Summary: Despite the EPO pressing on with totally illegal agenda, based on deliberate falsehoods, Team UPC must get rather creative and distract from real issues using phony ones alongside bogus, baseless predictions and what they hope can become self-fulfilling prophecies (in the face of severe legal and constitutional obstacles)
