Something and Nothing

I was going to write some long rambling thing about the EU court overruling the British government about the retention of DNA on a database of people who have been arrested, but either not charged or subsequently acquitted, and therefore in the eyes of the law totally innocent.

The fact that the retention of this DNA data has been ruled as a breech of human rights and illegal is obviously a very good thing indeed. I'm sorry but if you don't agree with this you're either a complete moron, have more in common genetically with a sheep than with the rest of the human race or are a member of our shambolic government. Possibly all three.

Anyway like I say I was going to go on and on about this. I've had all weekend without an internet connection, although I have had an accompaniment of uncouth cable engineers (can you engineer a cable?) If I ever meet Richard Branson I'll have a few choice ideas where he can put several miles of his cabling.

And now today though I feel like shit, and not because I'm ill. So this is the best I can manage, sorry.
