Took part just now in a lively @[email protected] debate on hanging. I believe impact statements should be strengthed so the families of murder victims would be able to suggest to the court the killer should die. Of course that would mean we would have to quit the ECHR. A win-win.

A GB News debate on hanging, with the likes of Kelvin MacNasty.

Sensible Tory MPs used to vote against return to the dark ages of hanging. Who knows how this lot would vote?

Rees-Mogg calls abortion rights a cult of death. I wonder how he feels about cold-blooded state killing.

@Himself132 Kelvin MacKenzie would be well advised to read Martha C. Nussbaum on the drawbacks and moral wrong of retributive justice and on the specific problems with victim statements. But he won't.
