Scientists Decry "Horrifying" UK Border Test Plan
cremeglace writes "Scientists are dismayed and outraged at a new project by the UK border agency to test DNA, hair, and nails to determine the nationality of asylum seekers and help decide if they can enter the UK. 'Horrifying,' 'naive,' and 'flawed' are among the words geneticists and isotope specialists have used to describe the 'Human Provenance pilot project.' The methods being used to determine ancestry include fingerprinting of mitochondrial DNA and isotope analysis of hair and nails. ScienceInsider blog notes that it is 'not clear who is conducting the DNA and isotope analyses for the Border Agency,' and that the agency has not 'cited any scientific papers that validate its DNA and isotope methods.' There is also a followup post with more information on the tests that are being used, and some reactions from experts in genetic forensic analysis. This story was first reported in The Observer on Sunday."
as *they"'re afraid of their people, not that their people should fear some virtual towelhead.
Smile, don't click...
Sounds like a good post to hash out why the data set in The Bell Curve was never refuted by "scientists".
The same "scientists" just decried the obvious conclusions, which were very Darwinian and sound.
They just want SCIENCE to take away all that awful guilt.
The population of London is expected to drop below 50% English by 2012. Would you want to let that happen with your own capital?
The problem isn't the scientific validity of the test; the problem is the idea that an emigrant's nationality should factor into whether they should be allowed residency.
Why is that a problem, exactly?
Let me tell you a story about that: Hungary has had a lot of bloody wars and occupations in the past. By 1740, Transylvania had nowhere near the population it should have had. What's the solution to keep the economy going? Immigrants, of course! Just one problem: they brought their family, their language, and their priests. This is where it lead. Yes, Romania got a bigger chunk of Hungary after WW1 than Hungary is today. They didn't even win the war: they surrendered in 1916 when we marched into Bucharest.
Keep sticking your heads in the sand in the sand, until it's cut off!
Gits.
God, shut up you fucking faggot.
Enjoy Sharia, ladyboy.
I agree, but I blame that *&%$ Scottish prime minister and his cronies for it. I bet not to many of the toxic bankers are African/Asian.
When you can detect a bankers and politicians by their DNA, let me know.
The poblem with democracy is that "whoever you vote for, a politican gets elected"!

Yes, how dare BRITISH people be allowed to keep THEIR OWN COUNTRY, WHICH THEY BUILT!
We can't have those damn WHITE people having even ONE all white country any more, can we! That would be "racist", wouldn't it...
Do you have any logical, factual arguments to back up your insane 'open borders' position?
MOST white people want to live in an all white country. I can prove this unequivocally, without asking a single person anything, just by looking at house buying choices among white people over the past 50 years, and the countries that white people emigrate to, when they feel their own countries have been INVADED to such an extent by third world scum, that they can't stand it any more...
Any reply?
So you're not talking about the Irish, then?
Confucius say, "Find worm in apple - bad. Find half a worm - worse."
Washington and the US in general are different.
The US as a nation and culture is a melting pot.
In contrast the UK nation and culture is also, hostorically, a melting pot, but of a different type. Like it or not we're a mix of different flavours of Christian Europeans. The influx of foreigners who do not share our values, who do not integrate and see the UK as a soft touch (why else do they all come to the UK rather than stopping in France?) are destroying our culture.
We should be literally up in arms to stop this but the 5th columnist 'politically correct' panty wetters cry 'racism' if you dare defdend your own culture: the very culture that allows them to express that opinion...
How is this flamebait? THIS IS FLAMEBAIT YOU FUCKING ARSEJOCKYNING RACIST CUNTS OF MODS, the above post may be right/wrong but its not flamebait, YOU FUCKING CUNTS CANT MOD FOR SHIT, JUST GO FUCKING FUCK YOUR MOTHERS YOU TWATS, I hope you get the message DICKFACE!
IranAir Flight 655 never forget!
Well, Poles are at least civilized (like people from all EU countries, for that matter). Certainly the ones living NE from where I live. :) And neither have I heard of Poles bombing underground trains.

You can always count on liberals to turn fucking everything into a race issue for no apparent reason.
Trying to confirm an asylum seeker's true nationality has nothing to do with racism.
Remember: white people are evil and should go extinct as soon as humanly possible, or at least become an insignificant minority ruled over by a superior culture, such a third world Islamic theocracy. Everyone except white people have a right to exist.
