no the death penalty days are over. They're too busy getting mollycoddled in prison.

As you say, very rarely carried out, a person sentenced to life imprisonment should serve exactly that.

Re: Death Penalty
As I said above, I have no moral objection to the death penalty as long as we can be 100% sure that the person accused is the person wot dun it!I have much more of an objection to the £14 million that it has cost taxpayers to keep Ian Brady in his comfortable mental hospital suite for the past 50 years. I have an objection to the estimated £1 million it costs the taxpayer to provide new identities to people like Jamie Bulger's killers, Ian Huntley's girlfriend, and a variety of other lowlifes who are at risk from attack once they complete their "life" sentences. I have an objection to the average £40,000 per year we pay for "people" like the killers of Lee Rigby to be incarcerated for the next 40 years or so.

I totally agree with you . If someone murdered one of my loved ones I know I would want the death penalty for them . I would not want them locked up for life at the tax payers expense .
