What ?.....people really believe the uk police destroyed the DNA records they were told to by the court......maybe their "local" copy, but you can guarantee 100% they will have other copies of the records that they wont have destroyed

no matter what people think, these organisations always have and always will do whatever they want, every now and then they get caught out and hauled up in court or whatever, but that wont stop them

and I havent even got up to Benyamin thingey

oops yes you were on Brit territory but without Brit knowledge
oops yes you were on Brit territory and with Brit complicity
oops yes you were - and we're not sure if the Brits were egging the Yanks on !
