The Devil's Own Blog From God's Own County

This topic has reared it's ugly head once more on Question Time (one of the panel was Damien Green who has the missfortune to be on the database). Now my view of this is that society has a bargain with me - if they don't assume I'm a criminal I'll conform to the norms of society, if they hold my DNA on the assumption I will commit a crime then I will contribute no more to the common good and will do whatever I can to obstuct law and order.

Quite why the government thinks that alienating the likes of me from society is a good thing is beyond me but they've made their choice and that frees me from all their petty laws and conventions which means that I'm free to do what I want and to actively obstruct the police and the state should I so wish. You can have either my DNA or my co-operation but not both.

You have to wonder how stupid a government is when it alienates someone who they once invited to interview at Century House (I declined their offer as Deloitte offered more money).
