'Tesco jails’ and more DNA testing planned'

[Troll]

There is already a high number of false prosecutions for shoplifting,

I thought shoplifting had now joined the ranks of offences punished by 'on the spot fines' - our criminal classes have worked out that for a fine of £80 - as long as they shoplift at least £150 of goods then they are quids in

Well, the People get the Government they Voted For....

Look to me like we are going to see a real hornet's nest of unpleasant little laws curtailing personal freedoms being frantically passed before the next looming General Election.

A case of "get 'em in quick", before they chuck us out.

I suspect the Labourazi's think "If we stay in, then great. If not, the Cons are lumbered with the problem..."

Win-Win for the Social Fascists.

Mark my words, the next thing will be "Home Audit of your Carbon Footprint" where an inspector will assess your lifestlye, ask to see energy usage, utility bills, etc. This will create a Home Footprint Index. Homes that exceed some arbitary figure will see Council Tax increased. Homes that fall within the parameters, will see no Council Tax rise until the audit the following year. It will be sold as "Do you bit to save the planet..and save money on Council Tax too !"

They were talking about this on the Politics show tonight.

People (in theory) will be able to sell part of their carbon allowance as a commodity.

Those who need to fly etc on business will be prepared to pay for a higher allowance.

It's not just any jail, it's an M&S jail.

The retail jail thing is just a flimsy cover for the real purpose, to give the police the final powers they need to assemble a national DNA database by force, with no right of appeal.

The accused was 'wearing a loud shirt in a built up area' your honour.

Tesco Jails

Apparently they're going to give a clubcard so you get a discount. Plus convict one, get one free....and other inane comparisons.

There is already a high number of false prosecutions for shoplifting, this will make it worse.

How about some legislation and quick punishment for supermarkets who overcharge.

How about some legislation and quick punishment for corrupt politicians, city dealers and corrupt bankers.
