Aim high - the House of Commons, the House of Lords and the High Court. Everything else is just pants.

I think the gist of what I am trying to convey is, as I see it, the anti-phorm rally is an opportunity to raise public awareness. The public also includes shareholders so I thought if you could get a few chosen shareholder comments it could be an opportunity seized on the day.
As regarding aiming high, there is no argument against that but it is well known that politicians and the like, do respond sometimes at sudden speed at the realisation there is a large groundswell of public opinion and strong media criticism. Bearing that in mind there is nothing wrong IMHO in fighting the battle on one, two, three or many fronts simultaneously.
Regarding the legal issues, although the laws of the land could be perhaps tightened, from what I have read, there maybe are sufficient laws in place right now. If these laws were correctly applied by the people who are paid to do so we could be be doing something else right now at this moment in time instead of discussing Phorm. (Perhaps some other anti privacy issue. There are plenty of them
)
