Blog's been wrapped up, no coverage of Q&As...

Eagerly awaiting a full debrief on events; but in the mean time a hearty well done to Alexander Hanff and Dr Richard Clayton


Also well done and thankyou to Simon Davies for getting them up there on the speakers list.

DOes anyone know when there will be an online video of the event please as I am anxious to find out what really happened

Just been re-reading what I posted in #3481 on the last page as being quoted from the EU.

If that is an indication of their stance on the subject, it's a big kick in the goolies for Kent.
Have I read it correctly?

It's a kick in the goolies for the Home Office. This could be the way to go.

Where did it come from - can I send it to my MP?

[OF1975]

I will echo that. Alexander did great. Round of applause and major thanks to him for attending.

I have read through the post you made Dev, regarding the EU statement several times, and although i have no legal experience whatsoever, I'd day that that reads that Phorm is illegal in the EU under the articles outlined.

Also I must express thanks to Dr. Richard Clayton and our own Alexander for the great work they've put in tonight at the meeting.

[Pasanonic]

I'd like to reiterate the sentiments thanking Alexander for attending and also add my backing to previous suggestions that we might be allowed to set something up so that we might contribute collectively in some measure to cover his expenses and buy him a beer. Perhaps the CF team might consider managing a paypal donations page in order to allow us to contribute with the confidence it is above board?

I agree Alexander has been the champion for this fight for our rights all along without him we would have been lost.

Mick could the forums start a fund to allow some members who wanted to donate money. This could be for Alexander to buy books he needs from Amazon to further his education for the benefit of the human race.

I totally agree with you 100%, they did a great job for us all.

[patinstoke]

I agree with all the sentiments above. A BIG thank you and to Alexander for his efforts on our behalf this evening. Would be more than happy to contribute to a donations page for a

[lucevans]

I'd just like to add my thanks to Alexander and many others here who have worked extremely hard to get and keep this issue in the public eye. I believe we have right on our side (though that's no guarantee of success) and I hope that some of that "national media" that was present at the meeting this evening really goes to town over this now.

Alexander summed-up my personal feelings about Phorm's technology perfectly when he said "[what it is] trying to do is to turn people into products; a global warehouse selling pieces of us to highest bidders." It is immoral, it is unfair, it is inequitable and it is almost certainly illegal.

Now I wouldnt normally agree to sending people I have never seen money, but in this case I agree, nice thinking Florence, that man deserves all the thanks possible AND more besides and I would love to donate some currency to this hero!

Apparently it's from this lady...http://ec.europa.eu/commission_barro...g/index_en.htm
and appears to be from an email. Until there is an external, verified source it's too good to be true (sorry Oar Wellin, have to be careful when quoting on t'internet. Sure you understand)

EDIT...Of course, huge thanks to Alexander. Stirling effort, that man. Above and beyond.
