Without sounding too Daily Mail-ish, does the congregation consider that capital punishment should be reintroduced in the UK?
I used to be very, very against it on the grounds that:
a) it seemed inhumane and cruel
b) the justice system was unreliable, and many who where innocent of actual murder, went to their deaths (Timothy Evans, Derek Bentley and many others) and were acquitted posthumously.
In the days when capital punishment was a judicial option, cold-blooded, causal murder was very unusual and made the popular press front-pages for days on end. Now, it seems to happen once a month, in every UK town on a boozed up Friday night.
I say "bring back the rope!"
It's not a conclusion I have come to lightly, but there are so many murderous thugs roaming the streets of our society, who have no regard for life and law, and who will stab you, and/or your wife/children, if you so much as look at them the wrong way.
Forget stuffing the already overcrowded prisons with these inhuman beasts, or trying to 'understand' them, or rehabilitate them -
Just bloody hang them!
