Civil liberties drip away

Alan Johnson will finally announce the Government’s proposals for keeping details of innocent people on the DNA database today in a written statement.

Given the contentious nature of the database you’d think they’d give people a chance to debate it in the House.

But on this issue they’ve not been shy about squeezing things through on the quiet where possible.

As expected Johnson will say that the Government wants to retain the details of innocent people on the database for up to six years.

It’s a course of action that goes against the spirit, if not the word, of a European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruling last year.

At the time when the Home Office was formulating its response to the ECHR Home Office Minister Vernon Coaker said the ruling did not strictly forbid the retention of those who had not been convicted of crimes.

Possibly not, it did however say:

“…the retention at issue constitutes a disproportionate interference with the applicants' right to respect for private life and cannot be regarded as necessary in a democratic society.”

Passionate sex is an intense mental and physical state of passion or wildness that drives you to immediately want to be with the person you want to bond with and to fantasize about the feeling that this state will never go away. Imagine the sexual state you and your partner were in when you first started bonding. Most people should have experienced the beauty of passionate sex at one time or another.
An essential premise of hot passionate sex is that both parties have a strong desire to bond at a certain point in time. It is the coexistence of sexual desire and emotion. Sexual desire is a physical impulse, while emotion is a psychological response, and it is what both partners should state.
