More vermin

Today's news - a major breakthrough in DNA analysis which will enable identification of the sources of DNA present in mixed samples. This will, apparently, enable 'thousands' of crimes to be solved. Magic. We identify countless rapists, murderers, muggers, paedophiles, and unexploded muslims and lock them up (if we can find a gaol which is not already full). Then, after a couple of weeks, we let them out so they are free to go raping, murdering, mugging, paedophiling, and exploding at will. And that's progress.
There have been quite a few stories recently of criminals being released and being able to carry on where they left off because of 'lack of communication among the prison service, the social services, the probation service, and the police'. But hang on a minute. If there had been perfect communication what would have happened? Would PC plod have been positioned outside the residence of vermin no. 1 ready to follow him to the scene of his next crime and arrest him just before he did anything naughty? Yeah. Right.
Sometimes I wonder whether the rapists, murderers, muggers, paedophiles, and unexploded muslims are any more of a threat to the country than the prison service, social services, probation service, and police.
