The world is changing, becoming more violent and degenerate with each day, and desperate times call for desperate measures.

All babies born in the UK should be fingerprinted and have their DNA taken. These should then be stored on a National computer similar to HOLMES.

This will enable the police to quickly identify future murderers and criminals who leave DNA traces behind and assist them to rapidly apprehend them, as well as greatly assisting the Security and Intelligence Services to keep track of the movements of future suspected terrorists.

All other citizens of the UK should be issued with Identity Cards complete with photogaph. They should also have their fingerprints taken and their DNA taken. These should be stored with a copy of their photograph on the same computer as above.

The Identity Cards should be retrieved by Customs Officers upon the visitors exiting the UK and filed. This will enable any absconders to be instantly noticed, instead of them merely disappearing into the ether as currently, and will also result in the precise numbers of absconders being known instead of the 'finger in the wind' estimates currently trotted out.

We all have a duty to help those who who daily put their lives on the line to both protect us from our enemies, and maintain the security of this country, and no sane, rational, law-abiding person who is loyal to this country and appreciative of the democratic freedoms it affords, should object to the above measures.

It is not a precursor to any Orwellian dystopian nightmare future, nor the first step on a slippery road to fascism, it is a scheme of necessary and overdue measures to ensure our survival in an increasingly violent world and 'cliched' or not, only those with something to hide will object.

A very depressing view of one possible future Kirk, if we go down that road then why not really start to use all technologies at our disposal.

Lets have everybody in the Country go to a polling booth to vote at the next election and whilst there we can have you receive a bar code tattoo which contains all your relevant data. This then could act as a permanent ID card which would in fact speed things up at Airports etc.

All newborns can be microchipped so they can be monitored at all times, these chips can be designed to include ways to cause pain so people could be punished very quickly if they stepped out of line.

We could root out all illegal immigrants by stopping and bar scanning masses of people at random, the ones who were not legal could be taken away and put into internment camps and/or tortured then deported.

Terrorism now would be practically eliminated as the movements of everybody could be analysed and with ALL communications monitored the terrorist would have no real chance to even get into the Country let alone planning an attack.

We would have an obedient,compliant,quiet population of God fearing,hard working people but they would be but one step up from zombies, a sort of Stepford Population with practically no crime...

Nirvana, Shangri la....actually no that is NOT the sort of future I would ever want to live in.
