What on earth was the agenda of the filmmakers? Are they trying to tell us that the death penalty is a good thing and we should open the debate again? Is that what it was about?


I thought the opposite, but maybe I'm wrong...


Was difficult viewing, but very well made.

Really, I mean really truly



If so why have so many states put it "on hold" ?


It is barbaric, it does not stop crime. So what's the justification then



I'm all ears Atia & Ian & whoever






Well ?

Yes it was difficult viewing but I didn't think it was well made - I thought that it was scraping the bottom of the barrel for C4. There was no point in the programme that I felt I was being challenged and was being shown things from a different perspective that I didn't necessarily agree with but nevertheless had merit. For me it was as challenging as reading the Daily Mail.

For me, the very best thing about the ED forum (when it's on top form) is that there are people who come on here and post things that in a million years I wouldn't agree with but they argue so well that they at least have my ear. For the same reason, it's why those who want to subvert the forum incur my anger. Very sad to see C4 producing drivel like this.

If Capital Punishment was reinstated it would have to be in public, not hidden away in prisons IMHO. Those who support it, or not then know what is happening and the public response. I'm generally against by the way.


and, about C4, as the Guardian says


"A former glam-rock star called, say, Stanley Sparkle, who likes to have sex with children would have fooled nobody, but would have demonstrated a little more humanity. "

First Gary Glitter, now Stanley Sparkle. I mean who next, Danny Dazzle ?


It cant be true, really ?

Though there are certainly horrific cynical

predators, and though it's hard for me to say, glitter seems

to be one of them, plenty of paedophiles see mentally ill, often profoundly damaged as victims of sexual abuse themselves.

Surely to demand death for them is tantamount to euthenasia, what next, cerebral palsy?


Plus the whole 'they'll never do it again' thing, where lines drawn, death by drink driving, drink driving full stop (prevention being better than cure)?

    • Hi everyone, I'm Gen, a catsitter based in Sydenham - if you're away this summer and need some care for your pets, please do consider me!  I can typically cover Sydenham, Forest Hill, Penge, Anerley, Crystal Palace, East Dulwich and parts of Peckham. If it's outside those areas, it still might be worth messaging me to see if I can help. I'm registered with Cat in a Flat, with flawless reviews – I'm happy to accept clients through there, or just directly (you can just DM me on the forum here) - whichever you're more comfortable with. I've been catsitting for a few years, and also used to volunteer for Celia Hammond. Here's my profile https://catinaflat.co.uk/pet-sitter/377081 Ping me a message if you need help or have any questions!
    • And we humans bear a lot of responsibility for creating the conditions that brought foxes into urban settings. I certainly don't regard them as pests - they are noisy little criminals, but I'm very fond of them (we have huge numbers of them in my area - I rescued a lost baby fox earlier this year). However, there are pest control companies that use humane methods to deter them and redirect them to different territories (a friend of mine works for one, but sadly for OP, I don't think this is in their catchment area).
    • Please don't call them "pests". They are animals who have as much right to be here as we do. Which doesn't mean we can't use humane ways to keep them off our crops, like fruit cages and netting.
    • This thread started about how to deal with pests that cause a lot of damage and leave unpleasant offerings, but has morphed into concerns about welfare for the pests.  I think it's time that local authorities gave us help with foxes and squirrels:  it's especially difficult trying to grow fruit and veg when these animals cause so much destruction.
