as everyone is aware the people arrested are holders of a british passport/possible born here? my question to you is why is the only act for hanging............ treason! so how come i am in my fortys and never been invited to one?
Hanging!
- Thread starter staggeringman
- Start date
They get commuted to life because the British people are thought to have no heart for the drop. It is seen as barbaric and senseless to hang a man or woman for Treason, although by their actions, many British Intelligence Officers, Solders, Sailor and Airman have lost their lives over the last forty years or so. Many spy’s where and are serving officers……What motivates someone to turn against there country is a bigger mystery to me than the one that allows them to live out their sentence without pain, loss and in comparative comfort.
this country will be as bad to us in the next 10 years becauase we have to put up with a load of bullsh.. from every government that has been to power since i started voting,the rest of the population that is for ever expanding ,will relish this.WHOS BEEN TELLING YOU LIES GARY.....LOL
Isn't Sedition also still a Capital Offence?
The death penalty is a good idea in theory but look at the USA. The states which have the death penalty have no uniformity as to its use. You are more likely to be put to death in some of the southern states than in the northern penalty carrying counterparts. In some states it takes anything between 10-15 years on death row before you are actually put to death. It costs millions more in legal appeals and the fees for these services paid for by the state, than it does just to keep somebody incarcerated for life.
Maybe we should have life sentences which mean life......
No perks in prisons....... I would love to see our prisons in the hands of that American chappie whos name slips my mind...

If it isn’t A-B it should be. I would doubt it though. Look at what's been said in the streets by these so called Militant Clerics and the events in Northern Ireland over the years. If sedition was still on the book I don’t think 50 people would have needlessly died for some a***holes ideals.

Hmmm so Treason is now no longer a capital offence. Well it should be.
From what we are told, the four concerned have saved the State a job, having blown themselves up along with their victims.
I agree with Lettie, though. I don't think prison is necessarily a soft option. The loss of freedom has to count for something - never to choose where you go or when, what you eat, when you go to bed, what you wear, and never to do all the things we all take for granted, must be horrible - ask anybody who has been to boarding school! But life should mean life. You can't bring someone back who has been murdered - why should the murderer get his or her life back?
