What the article doesn't say is what Jackie Bird said on television 
yesterday. She had been in favour of this information being available 
to all and sundry, but now she is reconsidering her position.

In another blow against the database state the ECHR has ruled against 
the rentention of DNA and fingerprints of innocent people down south. 
No doubt the Labour Party will try and ignore this, claiming that there 
is an emergency.
