Phorm, ISP and HO join forces...
The Home Office gets what they want, the ISP gets a cash boost, Phorm makes a tidy profit.
Everyone is happy... well everyone except Joe Public. (Are you still with us Joe?)
Could this be why the ICO and Home Office are refusing to step on BT's toes?

David Davis is probably still in the gun sights of the press and his convictions are obviously in the right place, I don't suppose any members of this thread live in the Haltemprice and Howden borough? He has already stated he wants to start a wider debate on civil liberties. Maybe a way of getting more headline press?
