[Margaret Pilkington]

I would say yes if I thought it would make one iota of difference to the criminal element getting away with things...but I don't think it will make any difference at all.
So it is going to help nail all these crims and what will the honourable Judge Sedley do then......? Why, he'll slap them on the wrist, give them a ludicrously light sentence in a prison that is more like a holiday camp and then they will be let out again.

I also do not trust this government to run a database with such sensitive information on it and keep it safe.

I am a decent law abiding citizen and should have nothing to fear from such a move...but fear it I do...and I won't be offering my DNA at any time soon.
