LeagalEagal, I take it you don't agree with it even you you were 100% cetain the person was guilty? What did you think when Saddam was hanged? He had undoubtedly done some bad things, but I still felt it was completely wrong, and he was basically handed to a lynch mob, purely for revenge, justice had nothing to do with it!

i have no idea, because i was not on the jury, but let's remember that in all the miscarriages of justice where people were subsequently released, they had all been found guilty beyond any reasonable doubt too.

I disagreed with the Saddam murder because it weakened the pitiful authority of the Western Forces and looked like it was done by the US as a way of shutting him up and getting their own back on him for turning against them after he'd been put in power by the US in the first place.

Well said L-E



Enough now, we agree to disagree OK



Or heads will roll




W**F

Agree, lets let this one rest. My final word, in answer to Tony, is that had he not killed himself, I don't see that killing Hitler would have brought a single person back. Perhaps it would have been more useful to try to learn what made him the way he was. Whatever example you use, I can't see myself ever agreeing that it is justifiable to end a life, and that a fellow human should be shouldered with that responsibility.

When I see their faces looking out from the pages of newspapers I want to cry my heart out.......... Bring back capital punishment for goodness sake.


The death penalty does work they "NEVER" reoffend.


Fact is approx 25 years ago is when all these do gooders started getting there way i.e , parents teachers banned from smacking kids, someone causing bother in the neighborhood then getting a slap from local residents without the fear of arrest.And as a result you get kids who grew up from that period with total disrespect for property and life.

It has to be the time now to say "Look! All this PC nonsence DOES'NT work. Lets go back to how it should be." In such a CLEAR CUT case as this and others like it , death penalty , pure and simple! They have no purpose in a society.


God bless the two victims.

Funnily enough I agree with you on the PC part.


We have allowed respect for authority to disappear and that is a direct result of Blair and the emergence of the nanny state.


In my day in DKH, Mr Mabey used to have precision aim with the board rubber and had a hairbrush which he used to chalk your name on in reverse before paddling you with it.


I have to say I think I was only once a victim of this, I was just more careful about being caught in the future.


Discipline at my boarding school was more intense with the sixth form prefects being able to give detention for walking on their path, too much??


I still have my essay on the sex life of a blade of grass, but lost the one on the inside of a table tennis ball.


PC is pure crap, we have a consensus.


Execution not so much.

Although I disagree with the death penalty Daizie I'm right behind you on the whole P.C issue. It was created to allow Guardian readers to bask in the smug glow of a patronising goverment. It was also given life once the trend of knee jerk litigation arrived from America and it became acceptable to sue your grandparents for getting you WHsmiths vouchers for your birthday. The 90's have a lot to answer for.

I'm torn on the PC issue. A lot of the time, you hear people say "it's PC gone mad", and you think, "No, you're just a complete loon".


But


Sometimes I think it does go too far, and I disagree with people who shoot down anyone saying "PC gone mad", because in some circumstances, I think it has.


I wouldn't want to live in a world where my kid gets a slap from a stranger for being naughty though, and I don't think being anti capital punishment has anything whatsoever to do with being PC.

I'm in total agreement with everything u wrote here.

By 'PC' nonsense, do people mean that they should be allowed to call black and brown people by whatever names they like without them taking offence, or at least with them not being able to do anything about it, just like in "the good ol' days"?

What then, because I've heard people say it's "PC gone mad" that people can't call others racist names without people taking offence. So what other "PC gone mad" is it?

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
