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.

Simon is between a rock and a hardplace. He has already stated that Privacy International received a total donation of £130 from the public to show for all his free voluntary privacy work. He setup a limited company for wages and profit in order to provide himself and his family a living, you can't blame a guy for selling out when he gets next to nothing for his privacy work. That is why I feel sorry for Simon, he's had to damage his own credibility and integrity by placing himself into Kent Ertugrul's top pocket (that is truely sickening).
People please understand Simon must feed his family as well. Try and put yourself in the mind of prison guard at Auschwitz-Birkenau the inhumanity of those death camps, yet the guard was only following orders under duress - but they still have to live with a lifetime of remorse and guilt afterwards. It's the madmen like Hitler, Himmler (Kent Ertugrul, Stratis Scleparis, Emma Sanderson) who are the architects of these atrocities... Simon his merely a camp guard putting privacy in the furnace at the behest of the evil overlords.
If you want to do something send Privacy International £10 or something as a gesture of sympathy for what Simon has to do!
