well for a Fun day,your going to need on site cheap catering (remember it's london , and london prices, and also, they dont do decent pork pies down there so take your own)

one interesting thought accured to me though with the NebuAd news, i wonder if the BT executive might use the protest day to announce their dropping Phorm.

and want us to get the word out on the cheap for them without paying expensive PR firms to inform the masses

There is no chance of BT dropping Phorm I fear. For them to do so would be an admission that they were wrong and in my entire life I have never seen BT admit they were wrong about anything.

Can people stop quoting that hamster creature? I don't want to read it's attempts to muddy the waters. I've got it on ignore, and I bet I'm not the only one.

Sorry but sometimes in a thread this size answers to specific posters will get easily lost UNLESS you do quote them and confusion will reign.Many folk are already finding this thread hard enough as it is with out confused cross posting.

But I have a choice to use Gmail and they give me something I want. I will NOT be able to do the same with the Phorm spyware system, why you ask?

Because even if I opt out my surfing will still be sent to the profiler, I will just not get the ads. Therefor Phorm "121 media" will still be making money from MY private data against my will and against my request for privacy.

Sorry I almost forgot, if VM implement the Phorm spy system I will not have to worry as I will move ALL my services away from them. That will be over £130 a month.


If we all do that it will hurt VM in the share holders pockets

For avoidance of doubt - I didn't raise Gmail, just responded when someone else did.

What's the name of the free paper that is distributed on the railways in and around London? It would be handy if someone could have a word with the publishers and maybe get a leaflet in those .. they go all over the place!

Metro?

Just had a word with a friend in London, she tells me the two free evening papers are the London Lite and The London Paper.

I believe the lite is done by the same folks as the Evening Standard tho.

The Metro, they're funded by advertising, so they would want us to pay a hefty sum.

However people could insert the leaflets at the stands

The Metro is also part of the Standard.

I quote from the article "Some 8% of the total spam received during the experiment was classified as phishing e-mails"

So very relevant.

Dave ( and thanks for your hard work)

this seems like an easy way to contact the online residents there and let them know this thread exists and we want their input and idea's ASAP.....

The Association does not have a bulletin board, because one has long been in existence. The Association bears no responsibility for this, but you may enjoy taking part

www barbicantalk.co.uk or visit Barbican Life

nothing one eather site relatingto Phorm and BL seems to be a council run type site, BBT uses phpBB as here, and they have 3545 registered users

You are sailing very close to an infraction for flaming/trolling here. I suggest you take a rest from this thread if you cannot keep calm.
