Perhaps it’s a good thing the Daily Mail thinks I’m a foreigner, because if I was British I’d have to be rather ashamed of my country today:
Baby’s DNA was held on database … Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesman Chris Huhne said it was “ludicrous” to have stored the DNA profile. He said: “It is illegal, immoral and ineffective to keep the DNA of a baby on a national police database as if they had committed some felony.” (BBC)
and
Britain has been accused of taking part in US “renditions” of terror suspects in a United Nations report. UN Special Rapporteur Martin Scheinin said he was “deeply troubled” at the US system of rendition, secret detention and practices violating torture bans. But he said it was only possible with the collaboration of allies including the UK, Pakistan, Indonesia and Kenya. The Lib Dems said it was a “dark day” for the reputation of the British secret services. (BBC)
But well done to my colleagues in the Liberal Democrat media team – got the party in both stories, and with the top political quote.

“It is illegal, immoral and ineffective to keep the DNA of a baby on a national police database . . .”
It’s completely harmless in fact, but never mind . . .
Arguably hypocritical for parties & politicians who support massacres, racial genocide, child sex slavery & kidnapping & dissecting people while still alive to pretend to care about this now.
Sorry to disappoint you; I don’t support any of those things.
Pehaps youn could say exactly where & when you publicly dissociated yourself from the Pseudo Liberal Democrats who not only support such things in theory but have practiced them.
Or do you deny that the Nazis running the party actively participated in carrying out war crimes so that they could get an opportunity to kibnap thousnads of teenage “Untermensch” & cut them apart while still alive?

Easy. The UK Liberal Democrats aren’t run by Nazis. Next?
You mean that though you don’t deny they engage in wars for the practice of carrying out the genocide of “Untermensch” they aren’t Nazis?
Exactly how do you define Nazis.
And you haven’t answered the question about when you personally dissociated yourself from the party’s genocide/child rape/dissecting living people?
Back to you.
Nope, I deny that first paragraph too.
Along with your claim that the Liberal Democrats go round dissecting living people.
You could add this as a third one
