Where do we draw the line between treating people like stock and treating them like individuals? Its a very old debate

Treating people like stock?

Do you mean we shouldn't bottle them and use them at a later date to improve gravy?

As it happens, yes. I find that human stock does keep well. I would also suggest that toenails taste nothing like pigs' trotters

i think you must have a very cynical view on humanity and the freedoms of our country, we already have 1 camera for every 14 people in this country, 42 days without charge detention, civil contingency act waiting there for when its required by a corporate fascist government, 2000 new pieces of legislation in the last decade, anti terrorist act which is being mis-used to round up innocent muslims in order to create paranoia between brits and minorites, thumb printing our children for their school meals, so yes i think your incredulous idea of taking the piss samples out of the most vulnerable people in our society i.e. people on benefit, would fit well in the european corporate police state which is coming!
im sure All those poor people who have lost their livelhoods, homes and families because of the crimes of a corrupt political and financial system would thank you for your wonderful idea. i dont mean to be rude to you but i disaggree with your idea as a really bad one. why not propose drug testing politicians or even better do compulsory phsychological tests on them to make sure they are fit for purpose. perhaps then we wouldnt have illegal and immoral wars, corruption, etc etc.

I'm addicted to this old thread. I get a cool, smooth, sustained 'rush' on re-reading it daily...

oooo yea thats the best idea yet and if they flunk it no money for them !!!!!
