Surprise, surprise

No surprise at all. But I did frown a little when the recommendation did not apparently derive its legitimacy from the Human Rights Act. Perhaps the judiciary is a little miffed that Brown invites rabid Tories into his circle of advisers ahead of them.

I could have been a judge, but I never had the Marxism. Never had the Marxism for the judgin'.

Yet again another liberal judge whingeing, that there are some poor minorities that take up proportionately more of the places on the DNA database than the majority of us. Well boo hoo, forgive me my crocodile tears, but I could not care less if all minorities are on the DNA data base or who is on the DNA database. If they had not done something wrong then they would not be this statistic. However, if its proved that they are innocent then they should be removed from this database. So the issue is not that they are on the database it’s should they remain there after they have been proved innocent. How do we go about compiling this DNA database and who is everyone. Does this mean everyone or just the great unwashed PAYE persons of British society? The first people who should give their DNA, to set an example to us great unwashed should be the HM the Queen and all the other members of the royal family, the Prime Minister and his family then all the wasters in the cabinet and their families the hangers on in parliament and their families the senior civil service mandarins and their families, then all the judges their families the police and all their families. After all these ass holes have given of their blood then I may consider giving of my blood. The next question is who would pay for this asinine policy. No doubt the tax payer will foot the bill for this lode of balls. Then there will need to be a multi million pound computer system to put the data on and then another layer of government bureaucracy to cock the whole thing up. Then when we have had lodes of cases of miscarriages of justice the tax payer can pick up this tab as well. After all of the above we will get the government selling the information contained on the database to insurance companies, banks, employers, and any other ass hole that will pay the fee. Because the government see it as an easy way to make a few quid and then they can say they are cutting our taxes! What ever happened to this country? We used to be world leaders and innovators all we seem to get are politicians who are total ass holes. Judges who care more for the perpetrator of crime and the police who would rather act as tax men for the government by screwing the motorist and handing out fixed penalties than catching real criminals. Now who is to blame for all this, We the Great British Public, and do you know why we are to blame because we elect the ass holes to parliament. They then tell us what we want and we roll over like puppy dogs and get our belly tickled with a few imaginary tax cuts and we take no responsibility for the wasters and ass holes we put into power. How about we take control and we elect judges, senior police officers and politicians to do the bidding of the people now there is innovation. We can again be leaders in showing the world how we can deal with crime and society.
