"Second, the British Public, who apparently SO support PI, donate an average of £130 a year to us. We receive more from citizens of India, even during the height of the ID card battle."

This is a little worrying - are we being punished for not supporting PI?
I didn't even know they exited before the Phorm issue.
I don't think the work that Simon Davies has done for Phorm will make it more likely for PI to get donations - completely the reverse tbh.
I can see the need to make a living - but I didn't force Simon to do the work he does for PI for free.
I appreciate anyone who does voluntary work for the good of society, but I think he is a lot better off financially than I am.
Even so I may still have made a contribution if I had known it was needed.
I just have a problem with the way the report was used by Phorm.
If Simon didn't think Phorm would use the report in this way I think he is being unbelievably naive.

Last point the "engagement" idea has been tried before I think its called appeasement.
