DN-hey hey!

Last week the Daily mail reported on how a high-flying city lawyer was fired from her £150,000-a-year job after a ‘routine security check’ revealed her DNA was held on the Police database despite never having been charged with an offence. Her bosses spotted her file during ‘background clearance’ checks as she was just about to start work on a new project.

What was that new job she was up for?

Working on the government’s own national identity card scheme which required the routine checks to be made before she was ‘cleared’ for the role.

Now no one can say that the fears about the Database state are unfounded, when we have proof like this.
