Europe protects freedom of British

I didn't exactly say that, it wouldn't get to court if there were not some circumstancial evidence, but that would not be enough without the DNA. Therefore you knew the guy was there, you knew his DNA was found about your sisters person but you would be unhappy if he was convicted by DNA obtained under a breach of his human rights?

No, No, No.

The point here (claim by plod) is that the perp wouldn't even be identified if they aren't allowed to keep "non convicted" DNA.

Once you have got to the point of identifying your suspect, the DNA database is completely irrelevent. (as you can take new DNA from him/her now).

What the Government will do will be to extend ANY crime to be covered by mandatory DNA sampling. Get flashed for speeding or put the wrong waste into your dustbin and you will not only receive a letter with a fine in, but you will be told to report to your local cop-shop for a sample to be taken.

All legal because you have broken the law and therefore not innocent and the vast majority of the country will be covered at some point.

Bollocks. Why don't you start another identity and have him talk sense?

Naaaah.

It's the consensus viewpoint of many historians such as Dr Mike Ibeji you imbecile.

I heard that he's got $12,000,000 inheritance money that he needs to transfer to the UK - if you can provide him with an account to facilitate the transfer there is 10% in it for you....

Not such as Hobsbawm, Taylor, Trevelyan, Toynbee, Schama then?

From Schama's TV series, and from his book where he did a comparison of the french and english peasantry pre-revolution, I got the impression he followed that viewpoint too.

You would get that impression, Ibeji produced it.

Changing the subject slightly, what's the chances some techie who has access to this DNA data will be copying it across to a memory stick (or 5) and flogging it to a private company for ad-hoc tests.

Too late the UK government are already giving it away to the American government who then sell it onto private companies.

They do much the same thing with a collection of your data whenever you take a flight, anywhere (doesn't have to be to America).
