I don't like any of the big three parties but the title is pathetic, he's dead and people are upset and a guy had outdated views but seriously, he wasn't having sex with kids or shooting people.

Nothing wrong with the death penalty when used correctly - perhaps if it were re-introduced we might see cold murderers and child abusers get their just deserts?

You confirmed why I'm so anti it, in that very post.

I wonder if you would think the same if it happened to one of your children? Why should the likes of Stephen Farrow remain in prison for the rest of his life - he should be executed.

I wouldn't know as it's never happened.

Same as it probably hasn't for yourself.



Don't let me stop Sal working himself up into a lather over it mind, in his [ireal world.[/i

You do understand that many parents of murdered children don't actually want state retributional murder, don't you?



Should their wishes be considered?

Awful, ill thought out title that reflects badly on the original poster. (Reads like a Sun headline) Poor.

No, not at all, its only important that the supporters of state sanctioned murder get their kicks each time the execution notice is posted outside the prison gates, they can have picnics and everything while waiting out there and then go home on the bus with that warm feeling inside that they've rid the world of another murderer.



Until the post execution retrial finds that someone messed up with the evidence, again.

Just got me thinking whether we should trial a gladitorial type justicey thingy and have it on live tv (it'd make fantastic telly)?



Camera - pans onto the jury filing back in through the door.

Camera - pans onto judge, 'Have you reached a verdict?'

Camera - pans onto jury foreperson, 'Guilty m'lord'.

Camera - pans back to judge addressing parents of murdered child, 'What shall it be?'

Camera - pans onto parents of murdered child, (the tension of the viewing audience is incalcuable).



Will it be thumbs up for execution or thumbs down for life imprisonment?????????????

"And now a message from our sponsors, Pierrepoint Ropes, are you fed up of breaking washing lines, snapped tow ropes or just need something to lash up those drug dealers down the bottom of the road - then you need a Pierrepoint Rope endorsed by the Crown Services for reliability at every public execution since 1964, a Pierrepoint Rope will never let you down and has a wonderful elastic snap-back..."

I never get the advocates of Capital punishmnet as being the 'ultimate' punishment, i've said before, a room with a thin mattress, toilet, only water to drink, rice and beans to eat, 23 and a half hours in a cell every day for the rest of their life, if it gets too much and they take their own life so be it, their choice.
