Even in America they don't always say yes, and the UK polls have usually been quite close between yes and no. A No campaign would have pictures of people released when found to have been wrongly convicted, along with evidence that the worst murderers get a whole life tariff. If people get forced to think about it rather than making a snap judgement after a horrific murder I don't think a yes verdict is inevitable. https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/facts-and-research/public-opinion-polls It would be a relatively simple binary question no ? 'Should the UK reintroduce the Death Penalty for the most serious offenders ?' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentGuerin Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) One of my mates was telling me recently that he's come to the conclusion that his son (ten years old) is an arsehole. Constantly getting called up to the school as the lad has done something horrible to someone, been really rude to a teacher, damaged something etc. And he just lies about it all when the parents get involved. They've caught him out a few times being a complete dick about various things when he thinks no adults are looking etc. He's tried for ages to rationalise this and he and his wife have two other perfectly normal weans, so he's coming to the conclusion that one of their kids is just a wee arsehole. It's quite difficult for him because he loves the wee man. He and his wife are lovely people and seem to be very good parents. Imagine knowing your daughter had killed babies? Fucking hell. There are so many angles of this that are horrific. But I just can't imagine this from her parents' perspective.

I know I'd like to see Rose West on a pair of dynamite powered roller skates. I was on a course maybe 10 years ago and there were a couple of guys from a well known logistics provider on it. They were on the group that supplies the Prison service in England with catering products. Rose West has a job in one of the prisons (the one she is in obviously) and he said that you never get over the chill of receiving an email from Rose West complaining that they under-delivered Mars bars. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they were thinking "she works in a hospital looking after babies, won't be long before she thinks about having one of her own". Not going to happen now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can almost guarantee for her own safety she won't be cutting about a jail "shopping" Don't get how the story about her parents is "public interest" I think that risks turning innocent people into targets for abuse and harassment for their daughters actions when they had no part in any of her killings.
