80/20 Thinking: You are tainted; you are in bed with the enemy. Your whole task is to make Phorm work. Rather than just polish the turd your task is to make the turd edible for the people and this is what I do not like and what you do not seem to understand.

The whole PIA issue is going to be a whitewash pure and simple. It is not an independent public enquiry such as after a train crash, or a report on airport expansion: it is a paid for assessment where Phorm will have influence on what the PIA report will say.

Can 80/20 say that the report will be released as-is and never be seen by Phorm in draft form? Will your report go straight from your desk to the general public? Will Phorm get to change bits they do not like?

This is the whole point of me banging on about this. If Phorm pay the piper they call the tune. If they don't like the tune they get it changed and the public will not get to hear the bum notes.

No one should stand up for 80/20 just because of what some of the representatives have done in the past as Privacy International. 80/20 is tainted. Representatives of 80/20 are a modern day Neville Chamberlain.

If you are against Phorm full stop you have stop those who are working on a solution to appease the public.
