[Albion] The return of capital punishment?

[Lenny Rider]

With another Policeman murdered in the line of duty if there was a referendum to bring back the death penalty, would this country vote to bring back hanging for certain crimes, killing of police officers, children, terrorist offences etc?

And would the pro hanging lobby also campaign for retrospective death sentences?

The names of Ian Huntley and Roy Whiting spring to mind.

 

[Stat Brother]

No.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Can't imagine any of the yoghurt knitters around Brighton wanting to vote for it.

A referendum would probably vote in favour of capital punishment.

There won't be a referendum.

Crikey, haven't you got enough business as it is?

 

[Palacefinder General]

Ian, you are such a bloody Tory.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

We don't honour the results of referendems in this country, so what's the point in holding one

 

[Mr Bridger]

I’d go for the guillotine

 

[Bob!]

Priti will just re-instate it

 

[Palacefinder General]

Next you'll be demanding the return of Kendo Nagasaki ffs!

 

[dingodan]

F*ck no.

 

[pasty]

Nay, nay and thrice nay.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

I would hope not.

But when I see what this country is capable of voting for, and the direction that politics in this country has taken, I would not be surprised if this were to happen.

 

[Beach Hut]

As likely as Dunk moving to Leicester..........

 

[Bulldog]

No, Im not a pacifist but we have an appalling habit of hanging the wrong bloody person.

 

[NooBHA]

They already have done


Because everyone who Voted for Brexit have virtually hung themselves BUT in answer to Capital Punishment question. Absolutely NOT - It is ''Barbaric''

 

[Justice]

The OB killed a woman in Bromley last week hit by a speeding Police car barely made the news. Idiots racing around like maniacs trying to catch some druggie who will only do some community service no doubt. Legal system is broken.

 

[Nixonator]

Can we buy tickets?

Until we are confident our legal system has a 100% chance of convicting the right person correctly, no chance. Things are bad enough as it is, especially if you don't qualify for legal aid. Imagine being falsely accused and having to sell your house to pay for a solicitor & barrister, knowing that if you lose it is quite literally all over.

Well only counting the cases of the Birmingham Six and the Guildford Four that's ten people who would have been wrongfully hanged. Add to that the four wrongfully convicted of Carl Bridgewater's murder. That brings the total to fourteen in just three cases alone. So on that basis. NO.
