Nothing to fear but Government

It's hard to believe how naïve some people are. The Government have decided the DNA taken by police from innocent people can be held for six years and some bloke was pompously chuntering on about how those with nothing to hide have nothing to fear.

Nothing to fear! This is the Government we are talking about whose record of keeping any information safe is nothing to write home about - which is perhaps just as well as they seem intent on destroying Royal Mail as the icing on the stale cake as they come to the end of what will be 13 years of disasters.

Apart from the fact DNA records are likely to be left on a train, dumped in a skip or posted on the internet we all know that anyone who makes a donation to party funds and throws a few bob at the treasury will have access.

It happened with driver information and with health records and when insurance companies and banks get their hands on DNA then the innocent will fond themselves guilty of dodgy genes when it comes to life and medical cover, mortgages and loans.

Oh, and look out for the small print. I suspect MPs will be exempt as the laws we endure somehow don't seem to apply to them.
