Three years ago, the Supreme Court ruled that denying offenders theright of appeal against being on the register was incompatible with their human rights and the law was changed so sex offenders could ask their local police force to remove them from the register 15 years after they are released from prison.
It said the court had concluded that automatic disclosure of all convictions and cautions - whether or not relevant to the job being applied for - was incompatible with Article 8 of theHuman Rights Act - theright to a private and family life.
And yet we here have evidence that I am right. 48, 000 people in central Texas are indeed being fed by nothing more than the milk of human kindness and Christian (for that is the origin of this food bank) charity.
