Genome Gambles & Guilt-Laced Gin: When David Cameron Orders a DNA Test

He once gave us Brexit, now he wants our babies genomes. One of these decisions was made over a pint in Blackpool… guess which one.

I once had a pint with David Cameron. Yes, that David Cameron. It was many years ago in a bar in Blackpool of all places. He’d just come off stage from another polished performance, all relaxed smiles and expensive cufflinks; a complete transformation from the jittery bag of nerves pacing like a caffeinated meerkat just half an hour earlier. I was halfway through a pint, bag of Bombay mix and a rant about the NHS, which come to think of it, is probably why we hit it off so well. Somewhere between the crunchy lentils and mutual moaning, we discovered we were the same age too, give or take a month or so.
