I don't want Phorm opt-out or opt-in and I won't see achieving opt-in as a success. Where the hell is the UK Government? When will it support its citizens? This mess is a long way from over.
Simon - we await your reaction to last night with great interest.

as a loose opposition group we are still in limbo as to what can be done.
We have no legal opposition to make asVirgin customers. We actually have nothing to complain about other than the fact Virgin say they are looking to maybe use this system.
We have exhausted the debate up to now and until we read more of last night for us to take issue with I doubt there is more to be said.
I'm really not interested in fighting a legal battle on behalf of BT users who's rights might have been compromised. I am however interested into pressuring the Home Office to get some balls and start investigation this technology and it's previous use from a technical point of view with relation the the law of tha land they are sworn to uphold.
I might be writing to a few national newspapers enquiring into the price of a full page advert to create a piece designed to bring this issue to the general public. This would of course have to be extremely carefully worded and only give statements of fact and link resources so that people may choose to make their own minds up about it. I'm pretty sure that would be a go unless the ad departments of the nationals saw a conflict with current partners and chose not to be involved.
I am also considering writing to Michael Moore ( bowling for Columbine ) after all, his country is next on the list. Yet I'm unsure if having him investigate it might not ultimately be a hindrance given his somewhat over-zealous approach.
