I personally would like to see Capital Punishment reintroduced as there is no significant detterant avaliabile now that might stop someone commiting murder, and i don't want to see my taxes go towards keeping these people alive and in jail.

Before all the cry babies start i will state some facts.

Britain effectively abolished capital punishment in 1965, the rate of murders in 1964 were 0.68 per 100,00 of the population now they are about 1.42 per 100,000 of the population a more than double rise.

Home office figures show unlawfull killings were 300 in 1964, 833 in 2004 and 734 in 2007.

Statistics kept by the Home office for the 5 year period between 1964 and 1969 show a 125% rise in murders that would have attracted a death sentance.

Okay.

Goverment analysis of the criminal situation between 1900 and the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939 points to the death penalty being a detterant to commiting criminal murders but not domestic murders,a criminal thinking of a planned robbery would think and plan ahead to avoid the consequences of murder, where as in domestic murder it would usually be non planned and happen in the heat of the moment.

The most compelling argument against capital punishment is of course the fact that innocent people may be executed, however i think execution would be appropiate when the evidence against the individual is so compelling and compact that there is no chance the accused is actually innocent and with the use of dna now days it would be certainly easier to prove innocence or guilt.

A 2005 survey(not to sure who they are) found that out of 1118 respondants 2/3 of thenm wanted the death penatly brought back, unfortunately due to our membership of the Eu and our commitment to the European Convention on Human Rights we are held back by those other people so politically it would be hard to reintroduce.

All the money wasted on keeping people inside for murders could be used for other more important social projects,sadly its seems that we will have to accept the high level of crimes and murders till a time arises when the people have had enough and force the goverment to implement the changes.

Here's that Panama again, getting us all riled up about an effective deterrent to ensuring no one ever commits murder.

'Pon my Sam, I'll swing for him so I will.

Actually I won't really, Pan so don't worry, even if you ever get to a political position where you might enact legislation that would reintroduce capital punishment, it's hardly likely I'll ever be in the dock accused of yours or anyone else's murder.

So, as you were.

But overall, a rotten stinking idea. Murder is wrong, judicial murder is no better.

Personal vengeance...now that's a different matter.

Wonderful stuff that DNA. There's enough in a discarded cigarette butt, a wad of chewing gum, a used tissue or even the rim of a glass someone has drunk from to place them at the scene of any crime - with a little malicious aforethought.

What is the penalty for murdering the English language?

CAPITAL punishment is the only way surely.

Anyone found guilty of maliciously with malice aforethought and prior knowledge before the fact knowingly assaulting a paragragh should be sentenced to deth.

Taken from this plaice and well, hung.

It'd save the burden on the syntax payers.

Do you mean murder in same the same way as I could murder a curry right now or in the same way as the last 8 miles of traffic were murder?

    • Hi, I am from the Southwark Day Centre and could collect some apples if I am. It too late... Bettina 
    • Labour's latest Rye Lane Ward newsletter is now saying that demolition in the square will start this summer and that the wider station upgrade is expected to be signed off this year - as explained above, sadly wrong on both counts. It describes the renovation of adjacent buildings on Blenheim Grove as "successful", despite having lain empty for a couple of years, longer than the actual renovation works, before saying "the Council is hopeful [it] will see its first new occupants move in to this year". Cue desperate attempt to get at least one in before end of financial year? As for the other topic, in "November 2023, faced with a huge increase in graffiti across the borough, Labour-run Southwark council took action". Nice turn of phrase eh? Rather, after community pressure regarding years of inaction by said Labour-run council, it's finally started to do a little bit, a little late. Surely there would be more chance of resolving issues if our council could for once be part of an honest, informed discussion?
    • I don’t think anyone has mentioned Peckham FoodCycle yet, they might enjoy some apples! https://foodcycle.org.uk/location/foodcycle-peckham-saturdays/
    • Just wanted to recommend Roger from Critter Solutions Pest Control if anyone’s dealing with mice or other unwanted guests. We had a sudden issue with mice in our home's kitchen and after calling around, these guys were by far the most responsive and professional. Roger arrived on time, was really friendly, and took the time to explain what he was doing and why. He did a full inspection and sealed up some access points we hadn’t even noticed. Since his treatment we haven’t seen or heard anything since. What I appreciated most was that it didn’t feel like a rushed job or a hard sell – just honest advice and thorough work. All backed with a guarantee.  Would definitely use them again (hopefully won’t need to!) and thought I’d share in case anyone local is looking.
