As you predicted, they could not show much of the interview without showing a 'raging Kent' and unfortunately that's what they did. It was quite tame.

The interviewer asked you to shake hands at the end etc, and indicated he was all 'hot and flustered', but if you had not have told us about Kent's behaviour, I wouldn't have known why.

All in all it was very tame. Other people may have things to add.
Hmmm. The heavy editing sucked away most of the content that might fire the imagination of the layman. We know the truth of this interview because we have it first hand from Alexander but if I'd just watched that interview and hadn't been privvy to Alex's supplement, I'm not sure it would have held my attention. Obviously this is in no way a criticism of you Alexander; you conducted yourself very well indeed despite rude interruption and expressed (y)our view clearly. What I'm trying to say is that engaging those with less interest in the topic is very important. Their view matters to us because their cash matters to VM/Phorm and if the wider audience will only get heavily edited output, this technology could still nip in the back door. I know I repeat things and I do apologise for it, but although as a vocal minority we are achieving some success, we really do need more overt support (hence my pleas to lurkers).
