Not every case of murder involves rape.

Anyway which branch of UKIP are you in?

I can think of a few people I'd like to hang as traitors. :twisted:

MORI has asked about the use of capital punishment four times in the past 24 years. We have found a consistent three quarters (76%-78%) saying the death penalty can be sometimes justified; most recently in 1995 (there was one exception in 1990, when less than two-thirds - 63% - said they were in favour). Older people are most supportive of the idea, with four in five of the over 65s in favour, as opposed to 68% of the under 34s. In terms of methods of execution, the British favour lethal injection as opposed to hanging by more than two-to-one.
If you ask whether the death penalty is justified for the killing of a child, you get an even higher figure: Over four fifths (82%) in favour when we last asked.

However, those who feel that public opinion is clear cut need to be cautious before rushing to demand another look at the law. The trends above are based on simply asking whether the death penalty can ever be justified.

If one asks a slightly different question and asks the public to choose between either life in prison, a long prison sentence or the death penalty, one gets a different picture, which suggests that less than half the public are really fervid advocates of execution.

from the same article

Very good so your copying someones homework again, mind you were the one who mentioned hanging, and assuming automatic guilt irrespective of the case, but your unwillingness to answer my question about which branch you are an alleged UKIP member of.

Scotgirl it seems we do agree on another item.

yip i could begin to get used to it

also nyorks-patriot hoping that nobody was going to read the article in full taking what he posted out of context

however lets put it this way if nyorks-patriot is as he claims a member of UKIP then he must keep his opinions to himself there as im sure he would have been kicked out if he had said to them some of the things he says here

I think we might have kept him just for the entertainment, when we start getting too serious we just let him out of his pram for five minutes and then feel so much better.

Hey Yorkie boy from somewhere around Thirsk just do a little research on the Bentley case from the early sixties to see how little reasoning & evidence it took to hang someone with the mental age of a child.

You would think UKIP's sister party was the Liberal Democrats by the posts here.

In a way it is

They're just very much going down the wrong route, UKIP woke up and realised. Have you spoken to LimoChris. Perhaps you should.
