    Maybe I should have stuck with my original title: "Moron DNA in the UK".

    Who was it that said in here that it'd only be a matter of time before someone said: "We have so many people on the DNA database, for such poor reasons, it's only fair if everyone's on it."

    I didn't believe we'd get to that point so soon. :jayzus:

    Now we can move a step closer to eliminating the gay gene!

    (Oh wait....nevermind...I forgot that being gay was a choice...)

    Well I was hopping that we finally had a way to eliminate the scourge that is homosexuality.

    But then I remembered that people choose to be gay, so I guess it's back to the brainwashing camp idea.

    Remember that scene in A Clockwork Orange? The Ludovico Technique? Only imagine that with gay porn and music by the Scissor Sisters.

    There's nothing liberal about this. It's decidedly illiberal.

    Except, of course, that the police can decide, quite voluntarily, that they don't actually need to take a DNA sample of you're a Friend of Tony up to your neck in the cash-for-honours dunghill. :garamet:
    When this storm broke, I was hoping the judge was indulging in hyperbole to draw attention to how unfair the present situation is, but I don't know enough about his record to decide one way or the other.

    Good grief. I can't imagine anything that would justify such a policy. Might as well barcode and tag every person in Britain and be done with it.

    Have they started putting surveillance cameras in peoples homes yet?

    That was a joke about the US perception of UK newspapers, not a comment on the story.
