Science makes Progress not Politicians

I was helping a mate clear a house the other day. There was an old video which the woman said I could have, since I didn't have one. It's old fashioned, but at its time it was one of the best. It cost over £400.

Of course, if I had the money I could get a better video for about £29.95 down Sainsbury's, the Supermarket that sells them as just another commodity item.

And then I saw another Newspaper headline: Burglary down. Naturally Blair and the assorted bunch of pigs that dares to call itself a Police Force were quick to claim credit. Their vigilance had assured that our homes were now safe from the attention of people who would wish to appropriate the contents.

Like totally WROOONNG DUDE!

The reason they're not after our homes anymore is that there is nothing worth anything in the average home left to nick. All the electrical goods that were such reliable sellers in the pub on a Tuesday afternoon have become so cheap, that the low life seller is going to have to start giving warranties on the goods just to get anyone interested.

Of course, like any bacteria or virus, crime has adapted. It now concentrates on assaults against the person to obtain their cash (mugging) and burglary of the rich (especially Ozzie Ozbourne).

The reason our inept bunch of Starsky and Hutch wannabes can solve any crimes at all is down to DNA. It provides a 100% certainty that the right man has been convicted and there has not been a miscarriage of justice.

The first case of DNA profiling to secure a conviction for murder illustrates this.


Colin Pitchfork was the Real Killer (prob out on parole by now)


The suspect had signed a confession and pleaded guilty and Plod wanted to fit him up to take another unsolved murder off the books, so they contacted forensics to confirm their 'hunch', but guess what?

The DNA semen sample taken from the victim did not match the spiral helix of the man about to serve life. Another failure for science!

Alas, for the Police the scientists stuck behind their conviction, and it turned out, like in so many unsolved crimes, the Police had turned to that tried and trusted method of:

Let's find the town Retard or Weirdo and knock a confession out of him.

There was and (is?) so much of that particular technique being used that I'm surprised it's not made it's way into the offical Police Manual.


PS. Take a look at the Simpsons: in Mayor Quimby and Chief of Police, Wiggum, you have the truth of the klutz that has blundered their way into control of us.
