"Brothel users should give DNA"

Dennis MacShane MP (Lab, Rotherham) is, as previously mentioned, an evil piece of shit.

He wants to make it illegal for men to visit prostitutes and at the same time is asking men who visit brothels to give DNA samples (to whom, exactly?). Er, so, by giving a DNA sample, you are confessing to a crime? Not really much motivation to do so.

Yes, it is probably true that when a woman who works as a prostitute is murdered, it is usually by a man who visits prostitutes and/or who knows her - but of course it is women who 'work the streets' who are most at risk from these lunatics. As there is a clear link between the illegality of drugs and prostitution, the solution must be to legalise both. Then women who really need the money can work a shift in a relatively safe brothel, where of course the use of condoms would be strictly enforced, bingo, there's your DNA sample, all 10cc of it.

The man's not only an illiberal bastard, he's a particularly stupid one too. Anyone who has seen a single episode will know that DNA samples have to be handled scrupulously in order to avoid contamination.

Can one imagine what a defence lawyer would do if he learned that the sample being used to prosecute his client had been taken by Tammy the Tart in less than perfect conditions? That it had been stored in a jar in unsecured fridge in the kitchen of some knockshop for a few days alongside God knows how many other specimens, before the local Hooker Squad officer came and collected it?

Even a lawyer of Blair-like uselessness could rip the Crown's case apart and get his client off. And what would Mr McShane say then if the now freed accused actually turned out to have been guilty?

Truly the man is an idiot of weapons grade quality.

How would the prostitue know who her client was ?
