the death penalty should be brought back but it won't
Or prison for life

It would be very interesting to see what the result would be if they ran an opinion poll on bringing back the death penalty.

I would imagine there would still be a majority against, but I wonder what the overall "trend" would be.

Yes it would but there is always the fanatic we love life brigade
The odd bods as my mum would say

Put him in a cell with just a bed, a toilet and a wash basin.

A very basic small screen TV on which he can only watch BBC or ITV. No Netflix or other similar meia programmes.

No phone, No computer, or other technical devices.

A full body search at least once a week.

Why shoud he have privilges?

[saundra]

Defiantly no tv

Unfortunately we are at that impasse where for politically correct reasons the authorities absolutely refuse to tell us the truth. This leads to discontent and until we get a very different party to vote for seriously fragments the vote. This normally causes stagnation in voting but this time the split Tory vote created a massive labour majority with the same number of votes.

That is going to drive even more extreme levels of voting.

It is what is driving AfD in Germany right now. We are very close to an election in Germany and the best response the establishment has to try and stop the voters voting for change, no matter the cost, is to try and ban the party.

On a side note, whilst I support the death penalty for very specific types of acts, it would certainly stop us from entering the EU again. The TEU, following on from the Treaty of Rome, bans the death penalty. If you have it you have to get rid of it. If it is brought back by popular referendum then the people are not going to then vote to have it taken away again just to get back into the EU.

So we are highly unlikely to get a vote on the death penalty "just in case".

Meanwhile the US is rolling up the PC astroturf and anyone who doesn't get out of the way fast enough is getting crushed in the rolling. 4 years from now the worldview on all this withholding information on criminal acts may be extremely different to the situation today and Starmer will likely be struggling.

Being a cynical observer of world events is rather engaging right now.
