Theres plenty of things that waste tax payers money, its quite animalistic to complain about a small percentage of people wasting tax payers money.
I got told that its less than 5% of prisoners that are murderers,rapists etc who would actually get death penalty. Besides death penalty is almost a nazi ideology; just get rid of people we dont like in society...
Not really my thing and many people wouldn't support it, I'm surprised it ever existed. Obviously the more religious past of england didnt mind killing people. Maybe we dont have it now because religion isnt as strongly believed and science, particularly psychology, has shown us that perhaps these people have some sort of problem, be it a mental defect, genetic or whatever, and they can be 'fixed'
Anyone know the exact reason that the death penalty got stopped in this country?
