Should the death penalty be reintroduced in the UK?

[planetgeli]

Simple question. Don't even try and confuse things in the poll, you know what it means, that I'm talking about a judicial process - not the SAS. Or revolutionary justice.

What do I think? I think NO. Because if just one innocent person was killed, that is enough for the death penalty to be wrong.

Bun fights allowed.

 

[cupid_stunt]

No fucking way.

 

[danny la rouge]

Just no.

 

[souljacker]

No.

 

[furluxor]

There won't be much of a discussion? And no.

 

[Spymaster]

It's not a simple yes or no question.

Reintroduced for what? Under what circumstances? What measures would be introduced to prevent miscarriages? What about changes in the legal framework?

The correct answer of course, is yes, but only under very specific conditions with a massive overhaul of the judicial system.

Well there is on another thread so I thought I'd give some space for debate.

The correct answer of course, is yes, but only under very specific conditions with a massive overhaul of the judicial system would be required too.

Er, you are allowed to debate what you might see as nuance. I couldn't fit the length of your post into a poll. Hence, go for it Spy (and others). Reason it out.

 

[andysays]

The answer is no, not under any circumstances, and even if we could guarantee that no one would ever be wrongly convicted.

Yes it is and the answer is no.

Glad we got that cleared up.

Definitely a good idea to get the discussion out of that thread.

answer still seems to be a no mind

 

[farmerbarleymow]

No.

 

[HeAthen]

no.

Exactly. Purposefully killing other people is a moral failure.

There are people posting on these boards who think that minors who kill should be executed.

 

[danny la rouge]

Full agreement.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

No, not even for cheese before beans people.

 

[cesare]

No.

Let Elon Musk personally take a one-way rocket to establish a prison planet.

 

[Jennaonthebeach]

No

 

[Johnny Vodka]

No.

Intentional death penalty, no. Happy, fated accident, yes.

 

[smmudge]

Yes, definitely no.

 

[cesare]

Intentional death penalty, no. Happy, fated accident, yes.

Not being able to return isn't a death sentence

 

[Jennaonthebeach]

Maybe for billionaires but even so - I would not be comfortable taking human lives.

 

[Rebecca Riot]

No. We can see from the US that it doesn't work as a deterrent.

Why 'of course'? And what would these 'specific conditions' look like?

No, for many many reasons. Reading posts up thread it looks like it's all agreed, exceptay be one.
Fwiw, this topic has been done to death ( sorry) in many ways and many other threads from Pritti Patel, to Japan and many threads about the whys and wherefores in the States.

In that sense, perhaps this thread can serve a purpose. Where the topic is brought up on other threads, the posters in question can be respectfully redirected to this one.

In fact, I'm going to start doing exactly this.

I need to be in the mood. Maybe later.

I think Spymaster has gone to retrieve them from his 'Correspondence that has been returned to me with instructions not to contact them again from the Home Office, Ministry of Justice, Royal Court of Appeal' folder. It will be next to his draft book 10 Greatest Police Killings .
