She only drinks real-ale the same as me. It's the wife's cooking that causes the pollution problem (and not just for the dog)

I find it impossible to believe that 647 British MPs plus all of the members of the Scottish, Welsh and Irish assemblies all think the same way as Phorm. Even if Phorm are right and we are all wrong then I'd still expect a few of those MPs to be as wrong as us and to say so if only for want of a cause to champion.
I expected to see general apathy amongst the public especially as it's been so difficult to get the basic privacy arguments across and we have been fighting against professional spin doctors and cleverly written statements the whole time but the deliberate head-in-the-sand approach from Whitehall and Westminster surprises even an old cynic like me.
Corruption and vested interest reign supreme - for now.
