573,639 the figure of shame

This most totalitarian ever UK government now have 573,639 people on the DNA database who who have not been convicted, cautioned, formally warned or reprimanded. This government will not rest until we are all have our DNA on record and are tagged and monitored wherever we go. The large TV screens being put in place four years before the 2012 Olympics are not the only echoes of George Orwell's 1984, a book that this Labour government have taken as a template rather than a warning.
