Hi all,

Apologies for the silence. I've been dealing (ironically enough) with another RIPA issue - local authorities abusing the covert surveillance provisions of the Act. All those people who'd called us complaining about unmarked vans at the bottom of their street are getting a little more attention from us now.

Anyhow, briefly, yes you are free to ask whatever questions you wish. I take the point about the Q&A panel just being Phorm. I'll ask the Chair to give Richard and I equal access, or be on the panel as well. We'll try to limit speakers to 15 minutes or less, so there should be at least an hour for Q&A.

You may have seen that we're filming the whole event for the Web. Unedited.

Sorry, but I can't keep up with the number of queries and points being made, so I'll just have to dip in whenever I can. Please don't take it personally if I miss you. I'll endeavour to come back later and answer as many points as I can.

Oh, and as for the person who compared me to George Best. Yes, well, maybe given the developments in the world now you should consider whether sometimes I too wake up after half a pointless lifetime and also ask "where did it all go wrong Simon".
