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.

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.

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?

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
