Doubt they'll ever use Phorm, but I'm sure they could figure out a way of monitoring internet usage to look for crims and terrorists searching for bomb recipes etc.

hammy , did you know they can already do this and do, via the correct procedures after making an application for warrant under the relevant section of RIPA (2000) and that various MP's etc are already making noises about the level of general surveillance in the UK and trying to reduce it, also the EU is looking at forcing the UK to toughen up RIPA and reduce its scope for being abused
so i do not think the government will be interest in an outdated anti-phishing filter that does not store data and can not know who visited that website for the copy of the anarchists cook book as it store no PII or IP addresses , do you?, that is unless you know different and can post the information here (i think not)
oh and by the why HMG already has effective systems in place for that anyway, how do you think they thwart terrorism so well
