I predict a Tory fuck up in the making.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, this law isn't going to work. If the police did their job and kept a close eye on dangerous offenders, or better still, didn't let them out, then we wouldn't be discussing this.
As it happens the law currently allows parents and guardians the right to ask for a background check via the police for anyone that has unsupervised access to children. The problem with this law is that it prevents the minority of paedophiles who like Roy Whiting are opportunistic in their victim selection. It does nothing to prevent children from being abused at the hands of childcare proffesionals who, although they have CRB checks, still doesn't prevent them from abusing children; such as that repulsive woman who ran a nursery in Plymouth.
Of course that's not to say the CRB checks themselves aren't perfect, but just exactly how is making another layer of bureaucracy going to help???

A few months later, and they're now creating a brand new layer of bureaucracy which isn't even needed.
You can't trust a word this lot say. They've managed to do in about three months what New Labour took a few years to do - get everyone to think they're liars. What a fucking achievement.
These are levels of shamelessness that not even Gordon Brown could have achieved.
Pointless exercise TBH, just to appease the media and vigilantees. IMHO.
Cut to footage of some muppet carrying a banner with "PEADOFILES OUT!!!"
Jesus fucking wept.
