Seems you must have had the same education in an English school as those Yorkshire suicide bombers and the Hungerford and Cumbrian mass murderers.That is the type of school the sons of Labour politicians don't go to.
I think that most right-thinking people considered the Chingford Skinhead extremely brave after his experience at the hands of the cowards who made their decisions,and their actions,and the last I heard one of them was begging for forgiveness.

Death penalty - Yes.

Arming police ? Well ask Phoney Tony whether he can survive without his armed guard and see what he says.
Why not compare gun figures with Australia and not America;or another European country.

Suggestions that the grenades recently used originated from Ireland.( Possibly Libya before that,then )
Well done Tony's cronies.Doing a great job as Middle East peace envoy,ain't he ?

I love that phrase 'right-thinking'. When it's used in this context I always assume it means 'the thinking of those on the right' as opposed to 'those who think sensibly'. The evidence bears that train of thought out again.

Bring back the berch

Especially for those who can't spell it.

Knew it didn't look right

Because America is unique amongst that collection in being a country where all of its police forces carry firearms on regular duty and where several states still have the death penalty for murder and definitely for the murder of a police officer.

By coincidence its also a country with a very similar social, religious and moral status to ours (as opposed to, say, Iran which also has the death penealty and armed police but socially is nothing like the UK), and so it makes for a perfect comparison and indicator of what can, or in this case doesn't, happen when you enforce the kneejerk policies of arming police and executing murderers.


I have to say that the example earlier in this thread of pickpockets operating at hangings for pickpocket theives was an excellent one.

No it shouldn't

I think they should bring it back, but only for contestants of reality TV shows.

You get eliminated, you get the chair/rope/injection.

Will make people think twice about going on X Factor or Big Brother and will make society better in general.

Can we include all of the Top Gear studio audience?

I'll agree with you on that.

This bloke who has ‘allegedly’ shot the WPC’s was heading for a death penalty if he hadn’t handed himself in, IMO.

You might have actually changed my mind on the subject.

:

Do you think the law would have found him?
Doesn't appear they'd been very successful in locating him prior to this weeks events.

Offences for which the death penalty shuld be introduced, IMO:

- pre-meditated murder
- murder of a police office going about their duties
- paedophilia
- persistent crimininality resulting from Class A drug use (but only after 3 relapses after being given assistance by the State to stop using drugs)

After the shocking events of this week, I think they may well have intensified the search a tad

.

So a drug addict who burgled 3 houses should be executed?
Why is a Police Officer's life more valuable than anyone else?

I concur.

If the geezer being presently detained had gone on the run, Greater Manny Police might have drafted a negotiator in?

I there another type of murder?

Please dont say death by choclate too

Isn't all murder premeditated?



Wouldn't that fall under the first category, above?



Yeah, good call. We should also execute alcoholics and the mentally ill.

Yeah, our Justice system is so perfect that no innocents will be wrongly found guilty.
I mean, it's never happened yet has it?

How do you propose to un-hang someone?
Or are innocent deaths worth it?

Your last point about class A drugs, in which you fail to mention what degree of ciminality would count towards the three-counts-and-you're-literally-dead, is an absolute sparkler of an unthought-out knee-jerk.

You are always banging on about morality and suchlike, yet killing people seems to be OK by you.

Only if you work for the Met.

Would that mean its OK to kill them on there tea break ?

It's polite to reference a direct quote

Not if there is an odd number of people, it doesn't.
