That is Spain, this is the UK. In any case as a visitor to Spain you have to abide by their laws that are already in place or you don’t get in.

There is no such necessity in the UK but it is being proposed that everyone submits a DNA sample to be stored on a national database, with a glib “safeguards will be put in place to prevent unauthorised access”. I wish!

Many years ago the government of the day was looking at the possibility of fingerprinting new born babies but the public outcry then soon put a stop to that idea.

You and others may agree with this Draconian idea but future generations won’t thank you for allowing it to happen.
