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?

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
