Bring back Hanging

Bring Back Hanging (A Personal View)

To put someone in prison costs a thousand pounds a week. The criminals know that bankrupt Britain cannot affort long prison sentences anymore. For sheer economic reasons the criminals know that we cannot afford to give them the proper prison sentences that they truly deserve.

Britain has to borrow 3 billion pounds a week just to survive. If the prison population continues to rise it will bankrupt Britain at a cost of thousand pound a week per prisoner.

In this world there are good guys, and bad guys. At the moment the bad guys are winning.

Then it's very simple, lock them up for a long period, and cancel our DFID (foreign aid) budget of £12 billion and don't keep giving the Euro bailout fund £40 billion. Or next time we do quantitative easing, instead of giving it to the banks, spend a bit on the jails.

The problem is when 20 years down the line you find out you hung the wrong man.


Not really possible to dig them up, reanimate them and apologise by then.

A better plan is to first seize all there assets to offset the cost of there stay, and then when that runs out, make them earn there living in prison.

Can't be done. Once abolished there is no way to reinstate it without looking 3rd world. Plus no-one can be trusted with it anyway. All we have is prison and prison for the worst offences should mean whole life.

What about the cost of keeping them in prison which must be around £1000 a week? I think the money should be put to better use such as more policeman.I think that without it being brought back we will be become 3rd world.

If there was a foolproof method for determining guilt beyond doubt for capital punishment, I would agree. But there isn't.
However, these cuts in policing and the armed forces numbers defy logic in such dangerous times.

Locking people up is no good. The repeat offending percentage is terrible. Prison holds no fear for hardened criminals. Now hanging that would scare the **** out of them.

Yes hanging means that some innocent people will be executed.

But it also means that many innocent women will not be murdered, raped and tortured to death.

Remember the woman or child that get murdered or tortured to death by a sex fiend, they are also innocent.

It's a dilemma. I still think it is nye on impossible to reinstate it after abolition though.

But if the UK's crime situation continues to worsen, wherein not even terrorists & other criminals can be deported, then this will become a moot point in time as the people take matters into their own hands.

Innocent people are often killed in this world

Road Accidents
Should we ban the motor car because innocent people are killed every day ?

Disease
Should we ban all immigration because some immigrants bring in disease that kills innocent people ?

AIDS
The killer disease AIDS kills many innocent who have unfaithful partners, but we accept this as OK.

Nuclear Bombs
Britain is willing to use the nuclear bomb in self defience, and kill millions of innocent people in the process.

The War in Iraq
It has been estimated the over 100,000 civilians have been killed in Iraq but we accept this as necessary.

World War II
Total deaths were about 50 million in World War II. About half of these were innocent civilians but this was accepted as necessary.
