She says "The detailed points [Dephormation] makes in his letter are matters for the Police, the Information Commissioner, the communication regulator Ofcom, the Home Office, and the Intellectual Property Office at DIUS. All of whom are already engaged on the issues raised by Phorm". Now correct me if I'm wrong, but to quote a Chinese proverb often displayed on KFO...

Police did nothing because it was 'too complicated'. Government Ministers said it was a matter for BERR (if I recall correctly). So now BERR are saying its not a matter for them, the issues associated with Phorm are a matter for everyone else except BERR.
