https://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/11/05/lord_dna_database/

precis House of Lords , have voted that innocent people on the DNA database can after jumping through a million or more flaming hoops in all probability be removed from the official* government database

https://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200708/ldhansrd/text/81104-0003.htm#08110439000008


Right who reckons Zanulabour in the next queens speech will seek to 'reform the House of Lords' , a tad ironic that an unelected unaccountable chamber is defender of UK liberties.


*when I say official it means that the government will still keep it in a secret database somewhere.

Secret database? Don't make me laugh!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Our government is too incompetant to be able to organise a conspiracy of any size and keep it a secret for long.

Our population is too incompetant to be able to do anything about any conspiracy of any size and to blinded by the figure of authority to even see a conspiracy of any size.

It's on the cards, and has been for a while. Labours great promises about removing priviledge and reducing everyone to the same level sounded really good but haven't worked out that well.

The great joy and sorrow of the House of Lords is that because they are unelected they don't politic all the time but instead actually vote with their conscience most of the time.

Sometimes this is a good thing, sometimes it isn't. However it has been balanced by the House of Commons since it's investiture. The more we move towards the American system of two elected Houses the less effective our Parliment becomes.

The only thing I can think that would be an improvement but avoid politicing is for spots in the Lords to be given at a paid wage in lottery with no option for refusal. You'd get some real drooling fuckwitts in there but hopefully it'd balance out on average.

Possibly not entirely true as I have no evidence to back it up, but it wouldn't suprise me.

"Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 600 employees and has the following employee statistics .

29 have been accused of spouse abuse

7 have been arrested for fraud

9 have been accused of writing bad cheques

17 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses

3 have done time for assault

71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit

14 have been arrested on drug-related charges

8 have been arrested for shoplifting

21 are currently defendants in lawsuits

84 have been arrested for drink driving in the last year


Which organisation is this ?

It's the 635 members of the House of Commons, the same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us inline."

Figures for Domestic abuse state 1 in 10 people in the population is suffering Spouse Abuse at any one time, 1 in 4 will experience it during their lifetime.

Take a look round the room, if there are ten people in it the averages state one of them is suffering and one person commiting it. It isn't a gender thing either despite what the radical femminists would have you believe.

1.5 per cent accused of writing bad cheques? Sounds about right. 10 percent cannot get a creditcard? Thats about what we were rejecting when I worked in the industry.

So, yeah I'd say those numbers are about right for a representation of the population at large.

Oh well, the word 'lawsuits' had me wondering. I saw it somewhere else the other night and it made me laugh, as I can still imagine it's not far off the truth. We all know how many MPs have been involved with drink driving and drugs, punching people in the face and financial scandals and so on.
