Yes I saw the press release telling us that chief Ofcom hot air merchant Peacock was shuvving off from Ofcom only 3 years after getting there like the rest of his his overpaid and singularly careerist cronies.  It seems he wants to escape before the proverbial hits the fan in respect of his previous comments on You & Yours over 084/7.  No doubt he has now become PR director of some similarly vacuous and buzz speak oriented organisation on an even higher salary.

So now in short order the original architects of the Ofcom 084/7 outrage, namely Messrs Carter, Meek, Williams and Peacock have all pushed off and if we the campaigners go along to or ever manage to get another meeting with Ofcom their successors will attempt to absolve themselves of all responsibility for the actions of their predecessors.  The only who cannot pull this trick is Ed Richards.

What a sad and sorry lot the Ofcom staff are.

The whole bunch are simply in it for as much as they suck out of the swill trough with their snouts and not one of them gives a stuff for the best interest of the UK citizen consumer.
