Marlon Brando had an outstanding, every film he was in was regarded as a masterpiece, up till after Apocalypse Now! when he went into a downward spiral and his track record quickly deteriorated, anyone who's endured "Don Juan" will undoubtedly agree.

The same can be argued regarding Jack Nicolson, up till late hes had a decent career but recently things have begun to wane.

In both cases it seems a paycheque has more importance over personal integrity and the same can now be seen in Simons case.

Whilst im certain that when presented with these jobs none had the benifit of hindsight and im confident that when Phorm aproached 80/20 Thinking no one had any way of knowing how much of a debacle would ensue.

This being said however, before i sign a contract or take a job onboard i spend a significant portion of time researching just what im getting into, it doesnt seem as if 80/20 has done so in this case however.

Personaly i would have penned off as "Alan Smithee" on the interim PIA and subsequent documentation.

I dont proclaim to have any great knowledge or insight into how these contracts came about, im fairly new to PIA's and for all i know there could be just as much lying, lawbreaking and misdirection, this might very well be part of the process for all im aware. I certainly hope not however, because it seems to me that it would be a really nasty business to be in.

At the end of the day however someone had to do the privacy assessment. Lets just hope its worth more than the paper its printed on.
