That single phrase enrages me every single time I read it. Why? Let me paraphrase...
"Although we are supposed to be an independent regulator, and should be conducting an independent analysis of Phorm... we're quite prepared to sit on our thumbs and let the public do our work for us because we're too damn lazy to conduct a technical inquiry for ourselves. And when independent technologists present concerns to us? We'll ignore them because we'd far rather take the free lunches, and champagne we get from Phorm and BT."
Sorry. Had to get that off my chest. Richard Thomas, resign now, your organisation is a complete waste of taxpayers money. Every single function ICO perform could be achieved with an identical chocolate fireguard.
