I communicate with Simon on a regular basis even though he is out of the country so I keep up to date on the PIA issue. The second anything changes I will make sure to let everyone know.

I wonder if there's any connection between Phorm employing Simon Davies and the fact that he was embroiled in controversy in 2007 when Privacy International were widely accused of unduly critcising Google whilst appearing top defend Facebook and Microsoft by manilpulating the reporting system.
I'm also curious as to why Privacy International have been so quiet on the whole issue of Phorm especially as they are now attacking Google (phorm's favourite target) for updates to Google Earth.
Perhaps someone from Privacy International who doesn't have a vested interest in Phorm and who isn't on their payroll could attend the Barbican if only to explain their hands-off approach to the biggest privacy issue facing all internet users around the world since the birth of home computing - interception of all data regardless of origin or destination.

Rightly or wrongly he is also a very unpopular figure with many people because of some of his actions and statements regarding Iraq and the varioius claims regarding his relationship with the former Iraqi leadership.
He could be a serious liability when it comes to getting the message across as his high profile could prove to be distracting and there's a risk of many in "Middle England" simply switching off to anything he says.
